Pluto - 2017 Hidden Mickey - Disney Dog Bones

This charming pin features Pluto, the beloved pup and faithful companion of Mickey Mouse, depicted in a stylized bone-shaped design. Released in 2017, this piece is part of the 'Disney Dog Bones' series, which was featured as a Hidden Mickey collection at Walt Disney World. The design utilizes a clean, minimalist aesthetic with a green bone background and a black and white silhouette of Pluto, accented by a small Mickey Mouse icon icon on the left side of the bone. Pluto first debuted in the 1930 short 'The Chain Gang' and has since become one of Disney's most recognizable characters, known for his expressive personality despite not having a speaking role. As an Open Edition pin, this was originally distributed through Cast Member pin trading boards and mystery pouches at Walt Disney World Resort parks. Hidden Mickey pins are highly sought after by collectors because they are not sold individually in retail stores, making them a fun challenge to track down during park visits. This specific pin is a favorite among Pluto fans and those who enjoy completing character-focused sets. Its simple, graphic style makes it a versatile addition to any collection, particularly for those focusing on canine characters or Hidden Mickey series. The 2017 series remains a popular point of interest for traders looking to fill gaps in their collections from that era.
