shopDisney has shared a sneak peek at the upcoming 1980s Disney100 Decades Collection, which features items inspired by the classic Disney Afternoon animated series, “Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers.”
This preview image shared via Twitter showcases an ear headband featuring Chip and Dale in their Rescue Rangers outfits, with the show’s logo on one ear. Instead of two ears and a bow, one of the ears is styled to look like a magnifying glass instead.
Also part of the collection will be a Loungefly Mini Backpack designed to look like the Ranger Plane from the show, with Chip, Dale, Gadget, Monterey Jack, and Zipper all riding along. The plane’s wings stick out on the sides.
A previously shared preview for this collection also included The Mickey Mouse Club and Donald Duck, which implies they could also be included, though Donald Duck was first created in 1934.
This collection will launch on shopDisney on August 21 at 8 a.m. PT. At the time of press, some items from the 1970s Decades Collection are still available.
