The Ultimate Munchling Guide
Disney Munchlings are the latest collectible craze blending Disney characters with popular desserts and foods. Originally launched as scented plush toys in 2022, Munchlings quickly expanded into the world of Disney trading pins. In this ultimate guide, we’ll explore what Munchlings pins are, where to buy and trade them, how to avoid fakes, and provide a comprehensive list of every Munchlings pin released (with handy tables by series). Whether you’re a seasoned pin trader or a sweet-toothed Disney fan, this guide will satisfy your cravings!
What Are Disney Munchling Pins?
Disney’s Munchling’s feature popular Disney characters styled as desserts and snacks. This concept originated with Disney’s Munchlings plush line, where a “magical mishap” in a bakery transformed iconic characters into sweet treats. The pins capture those same designs.
Munchlings have a huge appeal because they combine two things fans love: Disney characters and food. They also adore the playful themes and “blind box” excitement of not knowing which design you’ll get.
Why Collect Munchling Pins?
Aside from their cuteness, Disney has been regularly releasing new Munchlings series with different culinary themes (e.g. baked goods, fruity treats, seasonal snacks). This keeps the line fresh and gives collectors lots of variety. Plus, like all official Disney pins, Munchlings are tradable at Disney Parks and a fun way to connect with other fans.
Where to Buy Disney Munchling Pins
If you are looking for places outside of Pin Hive to increase your Munchling collection you can look into these sources. Disney’s official online store (and app) frequently stocks Munchling pins. These come as mystery packs (blind boxes or pouches). You’ll also find Munchling pin packs at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World shops. If you have local Disney Store retail locations or international Disney Stores, they may stock Munchling pins as well. Availability can vary.

Types Of Munchling Pin Releases
These are pins that are not limited in quantity and can be restocked. As of now, most Munchlings pins have been mystery or limited runs, but some open editions exist. For example, a 3-pack of Mickey, Donald, and Stitch Munchling pins was released through Primark in the UK.
Open Edition Pins
The core of the Munchling pin line are the mystery sets. Series 1 launched with 16 designs in late 2022; subsequent series (Series 2, 3, 4…) have also had 16 pins each. The cost per pin in these sets are roughly $6–$9, making them an affordable way to collect.
Mystery Pack Pins
Beyond the core mystery series, Disney has released a handful of special Munchlings pins outside of the blind packs. These are usually limited editions or seasonal releases sold individually.
Limited/ Special Edition Munchling Pins
The Munchling franchise isn’t just pins and plush: it has expanded into a whole range of merchandise for those who crave more cuteness! If you’re a fan of the pins, you might also enjoy some of these other Munchling goodies
Other Munchling Merchandise (Plush, Apparel, etc.)
The original Munchlings product. These come primarily in two sizes – small 5-inch mystery blind-box plush (you buy a box or bag not knowing which character you’ll get, similar to mystery pins) and larger 15-inch plush. There have been multiple collections: Sweet Treats, Baked Treats, Frozen Delights (the first wave from 2022), Everyday Snacks, Garden Goodness, Spooky Spooktacular, etc.
Scented Plush Toys
Disney has put out a few clothing items themed to Munchlings. You might find a shirt featuring Mickey and friends in their dessert forms, or seasonal apparel (like a Halloween Munchlings tee). These are less common than the toys, but keep an eye on Disney Parks merchandise – sometimes during Epcot festivals or events they might sneak in Munchlings-themed wearables.
Apparel
Disney has released Munchling a couple of acessories besides t-shirts and pins, for example: Christmas ornaments, crossbody bags and wallets, and even water bottles or lunch boxes. There are also phone cases and stickers available through third-party licenses.
Accessories and Home Goods
On occasion, Disney does special collaborations (like Loungefly mini-backpacks featuring Munchling patterns, or Chef figurines). Keep a watch during major events (D23 Expo, etc.) – Munchlings had its debut at D23 Expo 2022 with some exclusive packaging, for instance.
