James P. Sullivan, Mike Wazowski and Boo, the frightfully cute
leads of Disney/Pixar’s Monsters, Inc., are featured
on the movie’s pin.
Collectors can now obtain an original movie poster of such classic films

make any Disney fan nostalgic.
The “Winnie the Pooh Discovers the Seasons” and
“Pooh’s Great School Bus Adventure” pins mark the

Holiday pins make the perfect gift. Collectors will be able to choose
from
“Nightmare Before Christmas” and
“Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too” pins, to name
a few.
The unforgettable Disney Princesses -- Cinderella, Belle and Ariel --
are each featured on their own pin along with their
debut year.
The final pin in the collection, which will be revealed on December 15,
showcases Walt Disney’s most famous creation,
Mickey Mouse, along with a surprise that’s sure
to delight collectors across the nation.
The pin collection is complemented by a quality pin binder ($20) and
pin briefcase ($24), each featuring the official
logo of the collection.
