Character Ear Hat Mystery Set 2 - Steampunk Clock

This pin is part of the Character Ear Hat Mystery Set 2, released in 2013 at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort. The design features a stylized Mickey Mouse ear hat reimagined with a detailed steampunk aesthetic. The left ear displays an intricate array of mechanical gears, while the right ear features a clock face with Roman numerals, evoking the feel of a time-traveling apparatus. The base of the hat incorporates goggle-like lenses, further emphasizing the industrial, retro-futuristic steampunk theme that remains a popular motif among Disney collectors. As an Open Edition pin, it was designed to be accessible to guests at both major domestic parks, though its unique artistic style has made it a standout piece within the broader Ear Hat mystery series. Mystery sets are highly prized by collectors for the fun of the "blind box" purchasing experience and the challenge of completing the full collection. The mechanical details and the creative interpretation of the classic ear hat silhouette make this a favored choice for those who enjoy steampunk-themed Disney merchandise. It serves as a creative departure from standard character-specific ear hat pins, celebrating the imaginative spirit of Disney design. Because it is an Open Edition pin, it offers a great entry point for new collectors while maintaining appeal for veteran traders due to its distinct visual character.
