Hi all,
So I've gone and made a new display for my Jules Verne pin collection. My collection started as only pins from Disney films and attractions based on Verne stories with Disney characters on them, but I expanded a bit to basically any Disney-Verne pin I like. I also started a diorama thing that is a bit askew of my original concept. Here are some photos of it...
The full board (I laid it flat to photograph):
A photo of Walt reading from the prop
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea book forms the backdrop for these two pins, the 110th Legacy Collection 20,000 Leagues pin and Mickey as Ned Land:
And my 20,000 Leagues ride pins from Tokyo (Mysterious Island, 20,000 Leagues, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Nautilus Gifts), Paris (Mysteries of the Nautilus) and a recent addition, a Walt Disney World submarine ride memorial pin:
And DLP/Discoveryland pins... Space Mountain: Mission 2, PanoraMagique, the Orbitron and Stitch on the Astro-Orbitor (which is Disneyland USA, but imported from DLP... I'm not above trading it though):
I got a nice bit of background for the 3D diorama pin of the WDW 20,000 Leagues attraction (that I never got the chance to ride, darnit!):
The set of Mickey and Co. as characters from the
20,000 Leagues film:
Last but not least, my "20,000 Leagues Unda' Da' Sea" diorama I'm working on. It's pretty much done, as far as I can see. I'm just passively looking for any other fish pins I can add to it (that are Disney, not Pixar)... Turtles, snails, Cleo from
Pinocchio or whatever:
With the exception of that last diorama, I've pretty much got everything I want for this collection for now. There are a couple of
box sets that are okay, though I only really want them for the boxes. I'm mostly just relying on anything new they might come out with. They still have never made an
In Search of the Castaways or
Around the World in 80 Days pin, so who knows?
