New Magic Kingdom Pin Set Showcases Maniacal Disney Villains
A new collectible pin set at Magic Kingdom spotlights classic Disney villains including Prince John, the Queen of Hearts, and Maleficent.
Disney has released a new collectible pin set at Magic Kingdom, featuring some of the most recognisable villains from across the Disney canon. The set, themed around maniacal antagonists, includes Prince John from Robin Hood, the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, among others.
Villains in the Collection
The pin set draws heavily from the Disney animated canon, spotlighting characters long associated with the parks' villain-themed merchandise. Prince John appears in regal medieval styling, the Queen of Hearts is rendered in her iconic red-and-black colour palette, and Maleficent is depicted in her horned, flowing-robed form. Additional villains in the set continue the theme of classic Disney antagonists rather than more recent additions.
Availability and Theme
Released at Walt Disney World, the pins align with Magic Kingdom's tradition of villain-focused collectibles. Fan communities frequently track these limited sets, and the inclusion of multiple long-standing characters suggests broad appeal to collectors.
Notable Characters Included
- Prince John — the scheming royal from Robin Hood
- Queen of Hearts — the temperamental ruler of Wonderland
- Maleficent — the iconic horned sorceress from Sleeping Beauty
