On October 22, Disneyland Resort released four new Splash Mountain 15th Anniversary pins, two of which depict the Brer characters. The first pin, entitled “Paddle Wheel,” depicts Brer Rabbit aboard the Zip-A-Dee Lady, the large showboat seen at the end of Splash Mountain. What’s cool about this pin is that you can turn the paddle wheel! This pin retails for $12.50 and is limited to an edition of 1500.
The second pin, entitled “The Drop,” depicts Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear and Brer Fox all plummeting down the Splash Mountain plume, while Brer Vulture (a.k.a. one of the Boothill Boys) looks on. This same scene is pictured on many Splash Mountain publicity items from the early 90’s. This pin also has a neat feature, the log slides up and down. This pin retails for $10.50 and is also limited to an edition of 1500.
The other two pins, entitled “The Descent” and “The End”, depict Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. They are Open Edition pins and retail for $6.50 each. These pins are available at the Emporium, La Mascarade d’Orleans, the Plaza Pavilion carts, Greetings from California, P.T. Flea Market, World of Disney, and Mickey in Paradise.
