Hidden Mickey 2017 WDW - Paws - Pumbaa Chaser

This Hidden Mickey 2017 Walt Disney World pin features Pumbaa from the beloved 1994 Disney animated classic, The Lion King. The pin is part of the 'Paws' sub-set, which creatively depicts the paw prints of various iconic Disney characters, with the character's face subtly integrated into the design. This specific pin is the Chaser version of the Pumbaa design, identifiable by its distinct metallic, monochromatic finish compared to the standard colored release. As a Chaser in the Hidden Mickey series, this pin is significantly more elusive, as these variants were produced in much smaller quantities than the standard pins in the set. Hidden Mickey pins are traditionally obtained through Cast Member pin trading at the parks, making them highly sought after by collectors who enjoy the 'treasure hunt' aspect of the hobby. Pumbaa remains a fan-favorite character, known for his comedic relief and his philosophy of 'Hakuna Matata.' This pin is a must-have for completionist collectors of the 2017 Hidden Mickey series or those specializing in Lion King character memorabilia. The high-quality metallic texture and the clever integration of the Hidden Mickey icon within the paw print design add to its aesthetic appeal. Its status as a Chaser makes it a Hard to Find piece that stands out in any collection.
