Cruella DeVil - 2008 Hidden Mickey - Bowling Pin Villains

This collectible pin features the iconic Disney villain Cruella De Vil from the classic 1961 animated film 'One Hundred and One Dalmatians', stylized as a bowling pin. Released in 2008 as part of the popular Hidden Mickey - Bowling Pin Villains series at Disneyland Resort, this pin is an Open Edition release that collectors often seek to complete their sets. The design captures Cruella's signature black and white hair, sharp facial features, and mischievous expression, set against a light green bowling pin shape. As an Open Edition pin, it was originally distributed as a Gift With Purchase or through pin trading with Cast Members at the parks, making it a nostalgic piece for long-time traders. Cruella De Vil remains one of the most beloved and recognizable antagonists in Disney history, consistently driving demand for merchandise featuring her likeness. The Hidden Mickey series is highly regarded among collectors for its creative themes and character-centric designs. This specific piece is highly sought after by those who specialize in villain-themed collections or those who enjoy the unique 'bowling pin' aesthetic of the 2008 series. Its status as a retired Hidden Mickey pin adds to its appeal, as these were once readily available at Disneyland Resort but have since become more difficult to find in pristine condition.
