Hades Inkwells of Evil

This highly collectible pin features Hades, the fast-talking Lord of the Underworld and main antagonist from Disney's 1997 animated feature film *Hercules*. Released on April 8, 2025, this Limited Edition (LE 4000) pin is the fourth installment in the popular 12-pin 'Inkwells of Evil' monthly series. The pin depicts Hades in a stylized, monochromatic gray tone, emerging dramatically from an ornate black inkwell. He is captured mid-exclamation, with his characteristic fiery hair (rendered in gray hues) flaring and a menacing grin, while holding a small vial in his outstretched hand. The inkwell base prominently features the word "INK" in white lettering. The 'Inkwells of Evil' series, available at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW), celebrates iconic Disney Villains in a unique artistic style, often with marbleized elements in their designs. Hades, known for his fiery temper and schemes against Zeus and Hercules, is a fan-favorite villain, making this pin particularly desirable to collectors. The series itself was released monthly throughout 2025, with each pin featuring a different villain popping out of an inkwell. The backer card for these pins also commemorates "Celebrating 25 Years of Disney Pins".
