It's a Small World Mystery Collection 2016 - Russian Boy

This charming pin features the Russian Boy character from the iconic Disney attraction, It's a Small World. Released in 2016 as part of the It’s A Small World Mystery Collection, this Open Edition pin captures the whimsical, stylized aesthetic designed by Mary Blair for the original 1964 New York World's Fair attraction. The design depicts the boy in his traditional folk-inspired attire, complete with a black hat, yellow vest, and vibrant pink boots, set against a blue floral background. As an Open Edition pin, it was designed for broad appeal among park guests visiting Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. Mystery collection pins are highly sought after by collectors who enjoy the thrill of the hunt, as they were originally sold in blind-boxed sets. This specific figure represents one of the many international children featured in the ride's famous finale, celebrating global unity and the beloved Sherman Brothers' anthem. The pin's clean lines and bright, screen-printed colors reflect the classic mid-century modern style that defines the attraction's enduring visual legacy. It is a fantastic addition for collectors of ride-based memorabilia or fans of the attraction's unique artistic heritage.
