Black Puffle - Club Penguin - Booster Pack

This engaging pin features the Black Puffle, one of the iconic and beloved pet companions from Disney's popular massively multiplayer online game, Club Penguin. The pin portrays the Black Puffle with its signature intense and grumpy expression, a characteristic well-known to players of the virtual world. Club Penguin, launched on October 24, 2005, by New Horizon Interactive (later Disney Canada Inc.), allowed players to explore an Antarctic-themed island as penguin avatars. Disney acquired the game on August 1, 2007, and it operated until its discontinuation in March 2017. Black Puffles were among the first puffle species discovered in November 2005 and became adoptable in March 2006, known for their strong, silent, and sometimes mischievous nature. Despite their frequent frown, they were famous for catching on fire and grinning when happy, especially after eating an O'Berry, and for their love of skateboarding and the game Cart Surfer. This Open Edition pin was released on October 1, 2009, as part of the "Club Penguin - Puffles Booster Pack Set" at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, retailing for $29.95. The initial set comprised seven pins featuring the first seven Puffles, making this Black Puffle a key component of a cherished collection from a significant era of Disney's digital history.
