Pluto with Gargoyle Hat - Mini Mix-Its Mystery Collection

This Open Edition (OE) pin showcases Pluto, Mickey Mouse's loyal and non-anthropomorphic canine companion, adorning a distinct gargoyle hat. The hat's design is a clear homage to the iconic gargoyles that are a beloved and eerie feature of The Haunted Mansion attraction, a classic dark ride at both Disneyland Park and Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. This particular pin is an integral part of the "Mini Mix-Its Mystery Collection Series 1," which made its debut on July 6, 2025, at both the Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW). The series encompasses 8 unique enamel pins, each presenting a different classic Disney character wearing headwear inspired by various Disney Parks attractions. The broader "Mini Mix-Its" concept originated from a popular line of pint-sized plushies with interchangeable hats, making these pins a complementary collectible within a larger merchandise trend. Pluto, who first appeared as an unnamed bloodhound in the 1930 Mickey Mouse cartoon "The Chain Gang" and received his official name in 1931's "The Moose Hunt," is recognized as one of Disney's enduring "Sensational Six" characters. Collectors highly value this pin for its charming depiction of a foundational Disney character in a playful, attraction-specific theme, and the inherent challenge of completing the full 8-pin mystery series significantly adds to its appeal.
