DLR - LGM and Wheezy - Toy Story Zoetrope - Mystery

This charming pin is part of the Toy Story Zoetrope Mystery Pin Collection released at Disneyland Resort in 2009. The design features a whimsical crossover, depicting the Little Green Men—often known as the Aliens—from the Toy Story franchise alongside Wheezy the penguin. The scene is set against a vibrant yellow circular background, evoking the feel of a classic zoetrope animation device. Wheezy, the beloved squeaky toy penguin introduced in Toy Story 2 (1999), is shown with his signature red bowtie, while the Little Green Man appears in his classic space suit. As an Open Edition pin, this piece was designed to be accessible to collectors during its initial release period at the parks. The Toy Story Zoetrope series is well-regarded by collectors for its creative concept that mimics the motion-blur aesthetic of early animation technology. The pin features a Pin on Pin design element, adding depth and dimension to the characters as they appear to float over the zoetrope frame. Because this was released as part of a mystery set, finding specific characters like Wheezy can be a fun challenge for those building their Toy Story collections. It remains a nostalgic favorite, celebrating the enduring popularity of Pixar Animation Studios' iconic toy characters.
