The Ultimate Collector's Guide To Inside Out 2 Pins: 9 Must-Have Pins And Limited Edition Sets
The release of Disney and Pixar's Inside Out 2 has sparked a frenzy among collectors, not just for the film's emotional depth, but for the highly anticipated new line of collectible pins. As of this current date, December 25, 2025, the merchandise landscape is flooded with fresh, unique designs, marking the first time the new teenage emotions—Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment—have appeared on official Disney pins. This comprehensive guide details the most sought-after sets, the different pin styles, and exactly where you can find these limited edition treasures to complete your collection.
The transition from Riley’s Core Emotions to the complex feelings of adolescence has provided a creative goldmine for pin designers, resulting in some of the most intricate and valuable Disney pins of the year. From Limited Edition (LE) Marquee Pins to elusive "Chaser" variants, the Inside Out 2 pin collection is a masterclass in collectible merchandise, driving intense activity in the Disney Pin Trading community worldwide.
The Debut of New Emotions: Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment
For collectors, the biggest draw of the Inside Out 2 pin line is the introduction of the new emotions. These characters—Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment—are not only central to the film’s plot but are also the stars of several key pin releases, instantly becoming high-value entities on the secondary market. Their distinctive designs and color palettes make them stand out against the original Core Emotions.
Must-Have Pins Featuring the New Emotions
The new emotions are prominently featured in several collections, often paired with the original cast to signify the chaotic new dynamic in Headquarters. Here are some of the most essential pins to track down:
- The Anxiety Chaser Pin: This is arguably the most coveted pin in the entire collection. Released as a Super Chaser Mystery Pin within the Pink A La Mode (PALM) *Inside Out 2* Micro Mystery Pin Set, the Anxiety Chaser Pin often features a unique colorway or a metallic finish, distinguishing it from the common version. Its low Limited Edition (LE) size (some Chasers are LE200 or LE300) makes it extremely rare and valuable.
- Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment DLP Pins: The new emotions have been released as individual pins, notably in the Disneyland Paris (DLP) collections. The Envy Pin, the Ennui Pin, and the Embarrassment Pin capture the unique look and posture of each character, moving them from the screen to your pin board.
- The Jumbo Cluster Pin: This large-format pin is a collector's dream, featuring all nine emotions: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment, all grouped together in a single, high-detail piece. The Jumbo Pin format adds dimensional appeal and is a perfect centerpiece for any collection.
Limited Edition and Exclusive Collector Sets
The true heart of pin collecting lies in the Limited Edition (LE) pieces, which are typically released at specific Disney parks, events, or exclusive online vendors. The *Inside Out 2* collection has several high-profile LE sets that are essential for serious traders and collectors.
1. The DSSH Marquee and Ticket Pin Series
The Disney Studio Store Hollywood (DSSH), often associated with the El Capitan Theatre, released a highly exclusive set of Marquee Pins and Ticket Pins to commemorate the film's premiere. These pins are known for their distinct design, often featuring a movie poster or theatre ticket motif. Each pin in this series is typically an LE400, making them incredibly scarce.
The most sought-after pins from the DSSH *Inside Out 2* release include:
- Joy and Anxiety Marquee Pin (LE400): A stunning pin-on-pin design showcasing the film's central conflict.
- Anger and Fear Marquee Pin (LE400): A pairing of two core emotions facing the new challenges of adolescence.
- Sadness Marquee Pin (LE400): A solo pin capturing the emotion's signature look.
- Disgust and Envy Marquee Pin (LE400): A new pairing that highlights the social dynamics in Riley's mind.
- Anxiety PTD Pin (LE400): A Pin Trader Delight pin, a highly sought-after series from the Disney Soda Fountain (DSF).
- Anger and Embarrassment Ticket Pin: Part of the "Admit One" ticket series, featuring another key new/old emotion pairing.
2. The "Current Mood" Limited Release Spinner Pin
One of the most popular and interactive pins available on the Disney Store (shopDisney) is the Current Mood Limited Release Spinner Pin. This dimensional Pin-on-Pin design features a top layer that swivels, allowing the collector to display a different emotion—or "mood"—at any given time. It’s a clever design that perfectly captures the film’s theme of shifting emotions. It is a Limited Release, meaning it is available for a short time, but not numbered like the LE400 sets.
3. The Wall of Emotions 2 Mystery Jumbo Pin
Pink A La Mode (PALM) released the Pixar Wall of Emotions 2 Inside Out Mystery Jumbo Collectible Pin, which is a large, high-quality pin with a premium metallic finish. The first confirmed pin in this mystery series is a detailed Jumbo pin of Anxiety, a must-have for those who prefer larger, more detailed collectibles. The Mystery Box format adds an element of excitement, as collectors try to pull the rare chaser variants.
A Pin Trader's Guide: Understanding Pin Types and Terminology
Navigating the *Inside Out 2* pin collection requires understanding the specific terminology used by serious traders. Knowing these terms can help you identify the value and rarity of a pin.
- Limited Edition (LE): Pins produced in a finite, numbered quantity (e.g., LE400). Once they sell out, they are never produced again, making them highly valuable.
- Limited Release (LR): Pins produced for a limited time, but not in a specific numbered quantity. They are easier to acquire but still become unavailable after the release window closes.
- Chaser/Super Chaser Pin: A rare variant pin found within a Mystery Box set. These are often lower LE (LE200 or LE300) and feature glitter, metallic, or glow-in-the-dark elements to distinguish them from the common pins in the set. The Anxiety Super Chaser is a prime example.
- Pin-on-Pin: A pin design where one pin is layered on top of another, creating a three-dimensional effect and adding depth. The "Current Mood" Spinner Pin uses this technique.
- Jumbo Pin: A large-format pin, often 2.5 inches or more, that typically features multiple characters or an elaborate scene. The Wall of Emotions 2 pin falls into this category.
- DSSH/DSF/PALM: These acronyms refer to the exclusive vendors: Disney Studio Store Hollywood, Disney Soda Fountain, and Pink A La Mode. Pins from these sources are almost always Limited Edition and command high prices.
Where to Find and Trade the Inside Out 2 Pins
Acquiring these pins can be a challenge, as the most exclusive items sell out quickly. Here is a breakdown of the primary sources:
Official Disney Channels:
- shopDisney/Disney Store: The best source for the Limited Release Pins, such as the "Current Mood" Spinner Pin and the Inside Out 2 Cast Pin.
- Disney Parks (DLP/WDW/Disneyland): The source for most Disney Trading Pin Series and certain exclusive sets. The 17-pin Disney Trading Pin Series is a major park offering.
Exclusive & Secondary Markets:
- DSSH/El Capitan Theatre: The only source for the highly collectible Marquee and Ticket pins, though these are often sold out and must be acquired on the secondary market.
- Licensed Vendors (PALM, FiGPiN): These companies release their own lines of highly collectible, often Jumbo or Chaser, pins. Look for the FiGPiN Full Case Inside Out 2 Collectors Enamel Pins for a unique style.
- eBay and Collector Groups: The main platforms for acquiring sold-out Limited Edition pins like the Sadness DSSH LE 400 Pin and the various Chaser pins. Prices here are often significantly higher than the original retail price.
The *Inside Out 2* pin collection is a vibrant and valuable addition to the world of Disney collectibles. By focusing on the Limited Edition releases, especially those featuring the new emotions—Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment—collectors can secure some of the most memorable and sought-after pins of the year. Happy collecting!
