Classic Pins from the Disney Pin Vault... from the Worldwide Disneyana Specialists of Saturday\'sToys
Item: Tokyo Disneyland / Disney Resort Framed Pin Set for 2004 Lunar New Year (Year of the Monkey)
Artist: not stated
Year: 2004
Description: Presenting a framed pin set from the Tokyo Disneyland asreleased only in Japan to commemorate the Lunar New Year on January 22, 2004 (Yearof the Monkey), featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Pluto intraditional Japanese kimono attire.
Like the vast majority of merchandise sold directly atTokyo Disneyland, this specific New Year 2004 pin frame set wasdesigned internally by the Walt Disney Attractions Japan / Oriental LandCompany (OLC) merchandise design team.
Unlike limited-edition pins in the US that occasionallyfeature a specific named Disney Design Group artist signature, Tokyo DisneyResort merchandise is traditionally credited strictly to the park\'s in-housecreative division rather than individual designers.
- The Frame & Matting: A significant portion of this set\'s value is tied to the specialized display frame. Having the original red frame and the custom graphic backing intact keeps the valuation on the higher end.
- The \"Year of the Monkey\" Theme: Zodiac-specific items carry a premium for collectors who focus specifically on Lunar New Year or Tokyo Disneyland calendar holiday releases.
Reverse side of frame has a Parental Warning Label; conveniently translated in this listing from Japanese into English (as shown). Reminder: Disney pins are not intended for children under 3 years of age.
Measurement: 6\" x 7.25\" (framed)
Condition: Excellent; never previously displayed; pristine condition. Still features original plastic overlay, easily removable, to protect acrylic cover over the pins (no glass is used in this presentation).
