Mad Hatter Hat - Alice in Wonderland - DLR Hidden Mickey 2013: Wave A

This pin features the iconic green top hat worn by the Mad Hatter, complete with the classic '10/6' price tag detail that references his eccentric nature. It was released in 2013 as part of the Disneyland Resort Hidden Disney 2013: Wave A series, a popular collection designed for pin trading within the parks. The Mad Hatter is a beloved character from the 1951 animated classic 'Alice in Wonderland,' known for his chaotic tea party and whimsical personality. As an Open Edition release, this pin was originally distributed to Cast Members for trade, making it a staple for collectors focusing on Disneyland Resort park-exclusive sets. The design is clean and recognizable, focusing on one of the most famous pieces of headwear in Disney animation history. Because it is part of the Hidden Disney series, it carries the prestige of being a sought-after 'trader' pin that collectors actively hunt for at the parks. The '10/6' designation on the hat actually refers to the cost of the hat in pre-decimal British currency—ten shillings and sixpence. Its inclusion in the 2013 Hidden Disney series highlights the enduring popularity of the Alice in Wonderland theme among collectors. This pin is a perfect representation of the whimsical aesthetic that defines the Mad Hatter's character. It serves as a fantastic entry-level piece for those beginning their journey into the world of Disney pin trading.
