Lightning McQueen and Mater 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Pin

This vibrant Limited Edition 3000 pin celebrates the 20th anniversary of the beloved Pixar franchise, Cars, originally released in 2006.

Released on May 27, 2026, at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, this pin is a sought-after piece for fans of the Radiator Springs crew. The pin features the classic mickey-waffle backstamp, a hallmark of authentic Disney pin production that collectors prioritize for quality verification. As a Limited Edition 3000 release, it offers a moderate level of exclusivity, making it a centerpiece for Cars-themed collections.
