Mickey Mouse - Character Jack-in-the-Box Set

The Mickey Mouse - Character Jack-in-the-Box Set pin depicts the beloved Disney mascot, Mickey Mouse, playfully emerging from a classic jack-in-the-box toy. This Open Edition (OE) pin is a charming representation of Mickey, co-created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, who famously debuted in the groundbreaking animated short "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928, marking a pivotal moment in animation history. The pin is part of the "Character Jack-in-the-Box Set" mystery series, which comprises eight distinct pins, each featuring a different animated Disney character presented as a pop-up from a toy box. Other characters in this nostalgic collection include Marie, Stitch, Mr. Toad, Winnie the Pooh, Jiminy Cricket, and the Cheshire Cat. Released in 2025, the series was first available on disneystore.eu in early May, followed by a release at a Walt Disney World (WDW) Pin Trading Nights event on May 22, 2025. Collectors could acquire these pins through mystery boxes, each containing two random pins, originally priced at $22.99 or €16 per box. Mickey Mouse, initially almost named "Mortimer Mouse" by Walt Disney before his wife Lillian suggested "Mickey," continues to be a highly sought-after character for collectors worldwide.
