Mr. Toad Trading Pins

 

Disney pins from Disney Parks including Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom are popular around the world. Mr. Toad; his friends Cyril, Moley, Ratty, and McBadger; Mr. Toad's Wild Ride; and a variety of Disney characters such as the Mad Hatter, Tinkerbell, Chip 'n' Dale; and others are featured on trading pins related to J. Thaddeus Toad of the famous Toad Hall.

 

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

Many pins feature Mr. Toad's Wild Ride as an original Disneyland attraction, opening with the park in 1955. This pin from 2005, for example, shows Toad in his motorcar with a dangle on the pin that says, "Original Attraction." It was a surprise release in a limited edition of 550 pins.

Wind in the Willows

The 1949 movie The Adventures of Mr. Toad opens with a pan of a library of classic books, including Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. The book opens to show an illustration of Mr. Toad on the title page.

 

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad pin from the 2002 Storybook Pin Set #6 is a hinged pin that depicts the library sequence in the movie. The red book opens to reveal the title page of Wind in the Willows. It is the animated adaptation of the book that gives us The Adventures of Mr. Toad.

Mr. Toad and Friends

Mr. Toad has been around the Disney studios since 1949. This 2008 pin shows his Disney Imagineering ID card. It's a limited edition of 300.

The hard-to-find 8-pin set from The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad feature Mr. Toad, his friends--Cyril, Ratty, Moley, and Angus McBadger--and the villains--the prosecutor (turned judge in the movie), a weasel, and Mr. Winky. The set is a limited edition of 1500.

This 2005 spinner pin has two scenes that rotate around the center. Mr. Toad and Cyril dash through the English countryside in one scene. Toad Hall is shown in the other. Toad's friends Moley and Ratty stay fixed in the center. It's a limited edition of 250.

Pin 49250

Mr. Toad is shown with his friends Moley and Ratty, standing around friend Angus McBadger, who is busy trying to reconcile all the bills due from Toad's misadventures and manias. It is a limited edition of 3500 from 2000.

 

Relic Pins

In 2006, the "Piece of Disney History - Halberd Prop from Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" pin designed by Rachael Sur from Disney Design Group was released in a limited edition of 2500. It was the fourth pin in the Piece of Disney History series.

Much like contemporary baseball cards containing relics such as jersey swatches and pieces from game-used baseball bats--or even hair from famous presidents like Abraham Lincoln--this Disney pin contains pieces of halberd props used in the Mr. Toad's Wild Ride attraction that was at Disney' Magic Kingdom in Florida from October 1, 1971 to September 7, 1998. A halberd is a pole weapon that has a hook on the back side of an axe blade, used against opponents wearing armor.

 

The 2011 Disney pin collection called "Piece of Disney Movies" highlights a classic Disney film each month. The April 2011 pin features Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland. Each pin contains a unique frame of film. The one shown here includes a fabulous frame of the Mad Hatter at his tea party. Hopefully, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad will be commemorated in a similar pin in the series.

 

The Disney 110th Legacy Collection pin with Ichabod and Mr. Toad pin also is one that frames the center image. In this limited edition of 250, the framed center makes it appear as though Walt Disney was there with Toad. This pin, released May 3, 2011, is available at the Disney store for $19.95.
