Hidden Mickey 2013 DLR - Just Got Happier - Tow Mater

This square-shaped pin is part of the 2013 Hidden Mickey collection at the Disneyland Resort, specifically from the 'Just Got Happier' sub-set. It features a close-up, stylized depiction of Mater, the lovable tow truck from the Disney-Pixar 'Cars' franchise, which debuted in the original 2006 film. The design focuses on his iconic buck-toothed grin, capturing his friendly and rust-covered personality. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally available through the Cast Member pin trading program at the Disneyland Resort rather than being sold directly on a card in shops. Collectors prize this pin because it is part of a popular Hidden Mickey series that highlights various character expressions. The pin includes the classic Disneyland Resort logo in the lower section alongside a small, subtle Mickey Mouse icon, which is the hallmark of the Hidden Mickey series. Because these pins were distributed to Cast Members for trading with guests, they are frequently sought after by those looking to complete their 2013 sets. Mater remains a fan-favorite character, making this a staple for any 'Cars' collection or Hidden Mickey enthusiast. The design's simplicity and the distinctive focus on his teeth make it instantly recognizable to fans of Radiator Springs.
