With the anticipation of the opening of Pandora – The World of Avatar opening this summer growing, a new limited edition Avatar Pin collection has been announced! The new Avatar Collectible Pins begin arriving today, March 2nd at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park!
This limited edition pin collection will be the first of many new and unique merchandise products launching as part of Pandora, that will captivate guests with an in-park experience like never before, and immerse them in this new and exotic world.
Steven Miller from Disney Parks Blog talked with Eric Herbst, the merchandiser for Disney Pins, to learn more about this countdown collection.
“With the addition of this new land to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we wanted a way to continue the excitement leading up to the grand opening,” explained Erin. “This countdown pin collection features the beautiful travel posters created by Alpha Centauri Expeditions, the exclusive provider of tours to Pandora. We thought guests would love collecting these posters as they prepare to journey to another world.”
A new pin will be released each month from March till the grand opening in May. The first pin in the collection, showing the dark forest filled with bio luminescence lighting will be released March 2. The next pin in the countdown will arrive in April and is seen in the middle above. The last pin, which shows a family walking through Pandora, will launch on May 4. Each individual pin will have an edition size of 1,250, and will be released at Discovery Trading Company in the park.
The limited edition Avatar Collectible Pins are inspired by the travel posters designed by Artist Dylan Cole. Dylan provided design work on Disney’s “Maleficent,” and is currently Co-Production Designer for the upcoming “Avatar” motion picture sequels. If you missed the debut of the posters at D-23, you can check them out now near Tiffins restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park.
There are two “completer pins” available for this collection, but they will only be found in the five-pin boxed set. This set will contain all five travel posters as collectible pins, and have an edition size of 250. This full collection set will be released during the opening of the new Avatar land on May 27.
Unlike many special merchandise items that have been released lately, these pins will not be available via Shop Disney Parks app or the Disney Parks online store.
