Tigger Fishing

This charming pin features the beloved, bouncy Tigger from the Winnie the Pooh franchise, first introduced in the 1968 featurette 'Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day.' The design depicts Tigger attempting to fish, looking comically surprised as he catches a wide-eyed green fish while sitting in a small, rustic boat. This pin was released in 2005 as part of the Cast Lanyard Collection IV, specifically within the Tigger Activities subset. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed to Cast Members at Walt Disney World to be used for guest pin trading, making it a staple of the mid-2000s trading era. The circular frame features the text 'FISHING' repeated around the border, capturing the whimsical and energetic personality fans expect from A.A. Milne's iconic tiger. Because it was part of a Cast Lanyard series, it was not available for direct retail purchase, which adds to its appeal for collectors seeking to complete their Winnie the Pooh character sets. Tigger remains one of the most popular characters in the Disney universe, ensuring that his activity-themed pins stay in demand among character-focused collectors. The vibrant colors and classic animation style make it a quintessential piece for fans of the Hundred Acre Wood. Its status as a non-retail release from the Walt Disney World Cast Lanyard series provides a nostalgic look back at the golden age of park trading.
