Star Wars Muppets Mystery Collection - Link Hogthrob as Han Solo

This charming Open Edition pin features Link Hogthrob from The Muppets reimagined as the iconic Star Wars character Han Solo. Released in 2010 at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort, this pin is part of the popular Star Wars Muppets Mystery Collection. The design perfectly blends Link’s signature pompadour and porcine features with Han Solo’s classic vest and blaster holster ensemble. The Muppets first gained massive popularity with their television debut in 1976, and this series celebrates the humorous crossover between Jim Henson’s creations and the legendary Star Wars space opera. As an Open Edition pin, it was widely available for trade at the parks, making it a staple for character-crossover collectors. Fans of both franchises appreciate the clever casting, as Link Hogthrob’s ego matches the swashbuckling confidence of Han Solo. The pin captures the whimsical aesthetic of the series, which features various Muppets dressed as characters from the original Star Wars trilogy. It remains a highly sought-after piece for those building a complete set of these themed mashups. Collectors often value this pin for its nostalgic appeal and the unique intersection of two beloved pop culture universes.
