Winnie the Pooh

This enchanting Open Edition (OE) pin, released in 2016, features the beloved character Winnie the Pooh in a charming, stylized design. Part of the "Cute Stylized Characters Mystery Collection," the pin depicts Pooh in his iconic yellow fur and red shirt, walking cheerfully with a distinct black outline, embodying the series' endearing aesthetic. Winnie the Pooh, a character originally created by A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard, made his first Disney appearance in the 1966 theatrical short, *Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree*. This pin celebrates the timeless appeal of the 'bear of very little brains' who is known for his insatiable love for 'hunny'. The "Cute Stylized Characters Mystery Collection" was available at both Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW) and comprised 16 distinct pins featuring various popular Disney characters. Collectors appreciate this pin for its appealing art style and the enduring popularity of Winnie the Pooh, making it a delightful addition for fans of the Hundred Acre Wood. The mystery collection format meant that collectors acquired these pins in packs of five, adding an element of surprise to completing the full set.
