DLR - Starburst (Chip)

This charming pin features Chip, one half of the iconic duo Chip 'n' Dale, centered within a radiant sunburst frame. Released in 2004 at the Disneyland Resort, this piece is part of the popular Starburst series, which highlights various beloved Disney characters set against a glittery, sun-shaped background. Chip first appeared in the 1943 short 'Private Pluto' and has remained a staple of Disney animation, often causing trouble for Donald Duck or Pluto. As an Open Edition release, this pin was widely available to park guests during its production run, making it a nostalgic find for long-time collectors. The pin utilizes a vibrant, glitter-filled circular inlay that makes the character artwork pop against the metallic, flame-like points of the sunburst. Because the Starburst series features multiple characters, it remains a favorite for collectors who enjoy building character-specific sets or completing the entire collection. The design is classic early 2000s Disneyland Resort style, focusing on clean character portraiture and eye-catching background effects. Despite being an Open Edition, the character popularity of Chip ensures that this pin remains a sought-after piece for fans of the mischievous chipmunk. It serves as a great example of the creative and accessible designs that defined Disney pin collecting in the mid-2000s.
