Scar & Ed (hyena)

This Open Edition pin features the iconic antagonist Scar and his dim-witted hyena sidekick, Ed, from the 1994 animated classic, The Lion King. The design captures the menacing dynamic between the villainous lion and the laughing hyena, a pairing that remains a fan-favorite among collectors of Disney Villains and Sidekicks. Released in 2025 at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, this pin serves as a staple for those looking to round out their collection of Pride Lands characters. As an Open Edition release, it offers an accessible entry point for newer collectors while maintaining the high-quality artistry expected from modern park pins. Scar, voiced by Jeremy Irons, is widely considered one of Disney’s greatest villains, and his inclusion alongside Ed makes this a quintessential piece for any Lion King enthusiast. The pin's aesthetic aligns with the broader Disney Villains and Sidekicks Series, which focuses on the complex relationships between primary antagonists and their loyal or bumbling followers. Collectors often value these pieces for their ability to tell a story within a small format. Whether you are an avid trader or a casual collector, this pin stands out as a tribute to the darker, more dramatic moments of Disney animation history. Its availability across both major US parks makes it a common sight for visitors, ensuring its status as a widely recognized and appreciated design.
