Snowman Mickey

The "Snowman Mickey" pin, an Open Edition (OE) release from October 1, 2009, charmingly depicts Mickey Mouse as a festive snowman. This delightful pin features Mickey adorned with a classic red and white Santa hat, a cozy red and green scarf, and two prominent red buttons, embodying the spirit of the holiday season. It was released at both Walt Disney World (WDW) and Disneyland Resort (DLR), making it accessible to collectors on both coasts. This particular pin is part of a larger "Mickey and Minnie as Snowmen" series, specifically belonging to a two-pin set titled "Snowman Mickey & Minnie." Mickey Mouse, the iconic character, first made his public debut in the animated short "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928, a groundbreaking film known for being the first cartoon with synchronized sound. While Open Edition pins are continuously produced without a numerical limit, older releases like this 2009 holiday-themed pin can become Hard to Find (HTF) over time, especially due to its popular character and seasonal appeal. Collectors value this pin for its timeless design, association with a beloved character, and its festive theme, perfect for holiday pin boards. The original set of two pins retailed for $11.95.
