Today, I am taking a look at a special set of pins that Loungefly, a subsidiary of Funko, released at last year’s New York Comic Con to celebrate Mickey Mouse’s 90th Birthday. A Limited Edition of 500, this set features nine pins depicting Mickey Mouse in various looks throughout his lifetime.
Just like a lot of the various collectibles released for Mickey’s 90 birthday last year, the variety of the different looks that Mickey has had is a great plus for this set. My favorite ones are Plane Crazy and Little Whirlwind, two versions of Mickey Mouse that receive very little representation in merchandise, and are two cartoons of his that rank up there are some of the best imho.
While you cannot pick up this set at retail anymore (I believe they sold out during NYCC before the last day), I have seen them pop up on the secondary market like eBay before. They are still somewhat affordable (at least the last time I checked).
What do you think of these Mickey Mouse pins? Will you be tracking them down for your Disney collection? Let me know in the comments below.
