This is one of those don’t-blink-or-you’ll-miss-it sort of Disney items. The artists at Disney have recreated a nostalgic item from the opening day of Disneyland, a giant plush Mickey Mouse that Walt featured on the Dateline Disneyland broadcast from the park in 1955.
The large 36″ plush figure is part of the Disney Treasures From the Vault collection and is a limited edition. However, this one will only be sold via Amazon Treasure Truck and will likely sell out instantly.
The new Engineer Mickey is wearing a red checkered shirt under denim overalls, red kerchief, and engineer cap, just like the original. He even includes a custom stand and Certificate of Authenticity and comes in a whimsical box designed to look like a crate.
On Disneyland Park’s opening day, July 17, 1955, Walt Disney made his grand entrance into Main Street Station at the controls of the Disneyland Railroad accompanied by his longtime partner Mickey Mouse. Engineer Mickey, dressed in engineer’s overalls and cap, was created especially for the opening of Disneyland Park and appeared with Walt Disney on the live television special “Dateline Disneyland” as well as in publicity photos in the days leading up to the Park’s dedication.
The Mickey used for the opening day promotion of Disneyland has been recreated as a limited edition in the exact scale as the original:
The Engineer Mickey is part of the 2021 Treasures From the Vault Plush collection. and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. D23 members have early access to the line of limited edition Disney plushes sold via Amazon.
