Ursula - Hidden Mickey

This Ursula pin is a standout piece from the 2004 Cast Lanyard Collection III series, which famously featured a 'Wanted Poster' theme. Ursula, the iconic sea witch from Disney's 1989 animated masterpiece 'The Little Mermaid,' is depicted in a stylized poster format that highlights her villainous persona. As a Limited Release, this pin was distributed as a Cast Member Gift With Purchase at Walt Disney World, making it a classic example of early 2000s park-exclusive trading culture. The design captures the essence of the character, whose popularity remains immense among collectors due to her status as one of Disney's most celebrated villains. Because these pins were originally acquired by trading with Cast Members, finding them in pristine condition is a goal for many enthusiasts. The 'Wanted Poster' series is highly regarded for its creative concept and cohesive aesthetic across the set. This specific pin features the small Hidden Mickey icon, which serves as an authentication mark for the Cast Lanyard collection. It remains a highly sought-after item for those building comprehensive Ursula or villain-themed collections. Its age and the specific nature of its release venue add significantly to its appeal for long-time Disney pin collectors.
