Attractions License Plate Booster Set - TOY MNA

This pin is part of the Attractions License Plate Booster Set released in 2013 at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort. The pin features Ursula, the iconic sea witch from the 1989 classic film 'The Little Mermaid,' styled as a vanity license plate that reads 'MER M8'. The design cleverly incorporates Ursula's signature purple skin, white hair, and black tentacles against a blue, bubble-filled background, mimicking a license plate aesthetic. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally designed as part of a multi-pin booster set intended for traders and new collectors to easily acquire multiple pins at once. Ursula remains one of the most popular Disney villains in the collecting community, leading to high demand for pins featuring her likeness. The witty play on words in the text adds a humorous touch that appeals to fans of the character's manipulative yet charismatic personality. While it is an Open Edition release, the character's enduring popularity and the unique novelty design make it a fun addition to any villain-themed collection. Collectors often seek out these booster set pins to fill gaps in their displays or to use as traders for other desired pieces. The pin's rectangular license plate format is a distinct design choice that separates it from standard character portrait pins.
