Cheshire Cat Fruit Parfait

Collectibility

As an Open Edition (OE) pin, the Cheshire Cat Fruit Parfait was produced without a specific quantity limit. However, its release within the Munchlings Pin Series 3 mystery pouches, which contained five random pins from a set of 16, adds a unique collecting dynamic. Collectors often purchase multiple pouches to complete sets or find specific characters, contributing to its desirability. The enduring popularity of the Cheshire Cat, combined with the successful and whimsical Munchlings theme, makes this pin a sought-after item. It is a standard enamel pin, without special features like a spinner, dangle, or hinged element.

Historical Context

The Cheshire Cat is a major character from Walt Disney's 1951 animated musical fantasy film, *Alice in Wonderland*. Based on Lewis Carroll's classic novel, the film features the Cheshire Cat as a mysterious, pink-and-purple-striped feline with a permanent grin, known for his philosophical riddles and ability to disappear and reappear at will. The Munchlings Pin Series 3, which includes this Cheshire Cat Fruit Parfait pin, was initially released at US Disney Parks on October 1, 2023, and later on Shop Disney on October 31, 2023. The series capitalizes on the popularity of Disney characters reimagined as delectable treats, continuing a trend that began with the Munchlings plush line in 2022.
