Collectibility

This pin is a Limited Edition (LE) of 3000, making it a moderately rare collectible. Its desirability is significantly boosted by the enduring popularity of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy from The Muppets franchise. The inclusion of Cinderella Castle, a quintessential Walt Disney World icon, further enhances its appeal, especially for park-specific collectors. The glitter accents on the "Happy New Year" banner add a special visual flair that many collectors appreciate. As a themed holiday pin celebrating New Year's, it holds seasonal significance and is often sought after to commemorate the specific year.

Historical Context

Kermit the Frog was first introduced by Jim Henson in 1955 on the local Washington D.C. television show "Sam and Friends." Miss Piggy made her initial appearance in 1974 and quickly became a breakout star on "The Muppet Show," which began airing in 1976. Cinderella Castle, an iconic symbol of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, was completed in July 1971 and opened with the park on October 1, 1971. The castle's design drew inspiration from various European palaces and chateaux, as well as the 1950 Disney film "Cinderella." This pin was released as part of the annual New Year's celebration merchandise at Walt Disney World, marking the transition into 2026.
