Shan Yu - Disney Villains Framed Portrait Mystery Collection

This compelling Open Edition (OE) pin, released on February 23, 2024, features Shan Yu, the formidable main antagonist from Disney's 1998 animated classic, *Mulan*. The pin is part of the "Disney Villains Framed Portrait Mystery Collection," a popular series available at Disneyland Resort (DLR) and Walt Disney World (WDW). It depicts Shan Yu in a dramatic, ornate framed portrait, with his loyal pet bird, Hayabusa, perched atop the frame. The background is a striking green with embossed flame details, and parts of Shan Yu's arms extend dynamically beyond the frame, adding to its dimensional appeal. Shan Yu is characterized by his ruthless leadership of the Hun army and his singular goal of conquering China, making him one of Disney's most cold-blooded and cunning villains, distinct for his lack of a musical number. Collectors highly value villain-themed pins due to their enduring popularity, and mystery collections like this one foster excitement as collectors aim to complete the full set of eight distinct pins. This particular pin captures Shan Yu's menacing presence, making it a desirable piece for fans of *Mulan* and Disney Villains alike.
