Pain and Panic in Drink Cup - Imaginative Icons Mystery Set - Hercules

This Open Edition (OE) pin features the mischievous duo Pain and Panic, Hades' shapeshifting imp minions from Disney's 1997 animated classic, *Hercules*. The pin cleverly integrates these secondary antagonists within a light blue drink cup, often referred to as a 'Hercules sipper cup' or 'tumbler,' complete with a straw and subtle Greek-inspired design flourishes. Pain, depicted in his plump, crimson form, and Panic, in his slender, turquoise appearance, are shown peeking out from an opening in the cup. This pin is part of the "Imaginative Icons Mystery Collection," a popular mystery pin set released on October 1, 2024, at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW). The collection consists of 8 different designs, each transforming a beloved Disney character or element into an iconic object. Other pins in the series include Mickey Mouse with a Sorcerer Hat and Genie with a Magic Lamp. Collectors value this pin for its unique artistic interpretation of the characters, the enduring popularity of *Hercules* villains, and the fun of completing a mystery set. Pain and Panic are known for their comedic antics and their failed attempts to thwart Hercules, making them memorable figures in Disney lore.
