Hidden Mickey 2018 WDW - Stitch Emotions - Sad

This charming pin features the beloved alien Experiment 626, known as Stitch, from the 2002 Disney animated film Lilo & Stitch.

Collectors prize this series because it features a wide range of expressive emotions for the character, making it a fun set to complete. The iconic Mickey icon symbol is prominently displayed on the bottom of his left ear, confirming its status as a genuine Hidden Mickey pin. Despite being an Open Edition pin, Stitch remains one of the most popular characters in the collecting community, ensuring consistent demand. The simple yet high-quality enamel work makes this a standout piece for any fan of the Lilo & Stitch franchise. Its availability through the 2018 Hidden Mickey wave makes it a nostalgic find for those who were actively trading in the parks during that year.
