Released in 2002 as an open edition, this vibrant pin features Mickey Mouse dressed as a policeman with red and white stripes behind him, symbolizing the American flag, and adorned with white stars within a blue circle. A distinctive "NYPD" label appears below him in bold red text. Authentically released only at select NYC Disney stores adjacent to Avenue of the Americas and Times Square, it was quickly snapped up by collectors due to its significance tied to New York’s experiences following the terror attack. Over time, the pin's surface has acquired an orange hue from a soft epoxy dome coating that subtly alters its appearance. Such nuanced color variations are a testament to the piece's historical legacy. Made in China.
