Pluto - Cast Lanyard Series II - Scuba Diving

This charming Open Edition pin features Pluto, Mickey Mouse’s faithful canine companion, enjoying an underwater adventure as a scuba diver. Released as part of the Cast Lanyard Series III at Walt Disney World, this pin captures Pluto wearing a classic scuba mask and oxygen tank while swimming past a starfish. Pluto, who first appeared in the 1930 short 'The Chain Gang', remains one of the most recognizable and beloved characters in the Disney canon. The Cast Lanyard series, often referred to by collectors as 'Hidden Mickeys', were originally only available by trading with Disney Cast Members at Walt Disney World. Because these pins were not sold in retail stores, they were highly sought after by guests looking to complete their sets through in-park interaction. The design features a small Mickey icon, which serves as the hallmark for the Hidden Mickey pin series. As an Open Edition pin, it offers a nostalgic look back at mid-2000s pin trading culture. This piece is a must-have for Pluto collectors and those who specialize in early Cast Lanyard series releases. The vibrant blue background contrasts beautifully with Pluto's classic orange coat, making it a standout addition to any display board.
