Disney has a lot of different parts - movies, tv shows, parks, comics, video games, & more. And many, many different pins are released every year . . . but those two facts don't quite line up equally.

So do you have a favorite story or character (or even a specific version of a character) that you'd love to have a pin of, but has never had a pin?
For me, it's:

Fluppy Dogs - A pilot for a cartoon show (that sadly didn't get picked up) that was repeatedly aired as a standalone movie afterwards. It has very much never had a pin of any character - I don't think Disney has even acknowledged that it exists in years.

Gusto from Gummi Bears - I'd love more Gummi Bears pins in general, but even the few that exist have never been of my favorite character.

Lion Sora & the Heartless from Kingdom Hearts - The transformations of the main characters when visiting different worlds was great, & there are so many cool Heartless designs (they'd make a really great set of Hidden Mickey pins).

Duck Avenger - It would be neat to see this specific version of Donald (& One!) get pins. I'm honestly a little surprised they haven't.
 
I would go feral over an Ozzie pin! (runner up to Bink and Dink). Or an "Adventure, Jamie, Adventure!" quote pin, which is a standard phrase in my vocabulary.

I have a few:

- A Christmas/Holidays Inside Out pin with the words Joy To The World on it. They have made a few Inside Out holiday pins but have never used this phrase on one and the pun is so obvious that a small part of me inside dies every year that passes that it sits unused.

- An Inside Out pin set with the various stages of Abstract Thought. There is the Abstract Thought attraction poster pin from D23 a few years ago, but I want a pin set of all of the different stages.

- Riley's Mom. Her dad has a Father's Day pin but her mom is yet to appear on a single pin.

- specific PTDs - Why do we have two PTDs of Jake from Rescuers Down Under but zero of Mufasa? (No shade to my boy Jake, I love him and was excited for both, but he is such an obscure character compared to others who have none). Other PTD characters I'd love: the other characters from Brave Little Toaster (ESPECIALLY Kirby!), the rest of the Inside Out 2 emotions (I'm sure they'll come eventually since they did Anxiety already), Sarabi, Sarafina, hula Timon, Kit Cloudkicker (also possibly in the pipeline since we have had several TaleSpin PTDs over the past few releases), Gargoyles (especialy Lexington and Bronx), Rufus from Kim Possible, Bingo from Bluey (license schmincence, a girl can dream and they have released several other Bluey pins)
 
Awesome, I honestly was worried that no one else would have heard of/remember Fluppy Dogs. Pin trader delights are my favorites, so that would be a perfect place for rarer characters to show up - I absolutely second Gargoyles pins! (I hadn't realized that Mufasa didn't already have one, & Sarabi needs more pins in general.)

Going into 'not originally Disney', I'd love Xyber 9: New Dawn as well, which I think is now owned by Disney. . . ? (That show has such a fascinating history. It's heavily story-based rather than being episodic, but was cancelled very early, leaving everything hanging . . . even though the entire show had already finished being made. It wasn't until years later that Disney aired the entire thing on XD, finally letting people see the ending!). (Edit: Oops, misremembered the channel - Toon Disney, not Disney XD.)

My grandma had cable and would tape tons of stuff and send us the VHS tapes. Fluppy Dogs was one of my favorites (I think The Thanksgiving Promise was also on the tape though we didn’t watch that one quite as much). I watched Fluppy Dogs so much that I’m surprised I didn’t wear a track through the VHS tape.
 
I DO A SEGEMENT ON THIS EVER SINGLE MONTH FOR MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL... well it's more of a "what kinda merch do I want to see Disney make" but often suggest a lot of forgotten characters! This month's theme was: Knowsmore - share a brainy character and some of the suggestions I had included rarer characters like Zummi Gummi, Ms. Maripole (An Extremely Goofy Movie), and some of the new characters from Amphibia and The Owl House since Disney really hasn't greenlight any merch from those shows yet. I would die if more official merch was created for any of the shows I love!!


Love your suggestions @Ach West - especially Gusto!
 
It would be Return to Oz for me. Those would be some weird pins, but I'm thinking lunch pail, limestone pie, green ornaments, Bellina the hen, the Oz key.

@momin.ator I think a lot of that depends on what Disney media you like the best - movies get a lot of pins, & rides get quite a few as well . . . while cartoon shows, video games, & comics are far less likely to get any pins at all. (The toaster robot who gives out maps in the video game Disney Illusion Island is probably never going to get a pin, no matter how cute & endearing.)

It also reinforces itself - it's easier to remember the characters that do get pins because you're constantly being reminded of them.
 
Wow. 4 outfits and he’s not even a princess.
