Pop N°264 Kingdom Hearts Pete Black & White Exclusive Vinyl Figure

Pete, the Eternal Troublemaker of Kingdom Hearts

Origin and Creation of the Character

Pete is a character from Disney’s classic universe, first appearing in 1925 in the short film Alice Solves the Puzzle. Known as one of Disney’s oldest antagonists, he has evolved through generations, from Mickey Mouse’s rival to a scheming villain. His introduction into Kingdom Hearts, beginning with Kingdom Hearts II in 2005, establishes him as a loyal henchman of Maleficent and a recurring enemy for the player.

In the Kingdom Hearts universe, Pete is a clumsy antagonist, often used for comic relief, yet still a persistent threat who assists Maleficent in her quest to dominate worlds.

Character Description

Pete is a large, imposing anthropomorphic figure, dressed in exaggerated armor with bright colors and a mischievous grin. He is characterized by his boastful nature, thunderous laugh, and tendency to underestimate his opponents. Despite his many failures, he remains loyal to Maleficent and continues to execute her plans, even if they often end in comical disaster.

In Kingdom Hearts II, Pete travels across worlds spreading chaos and awakening the Heartless, hoping to build an army for Maleficent. He appears in various iconic worlds such as Timeless River, where he encounters his 1920s counterpart, and Hollow Bastion, where he faces Sora and his friends.

His role in later games, particularly Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep and Kingdom Hearts III, further develops his connection to Maleficent while enhancing his comedic and less-threatening side.

With his exaggerated charisma and impulsive nature, Pete is one of Kingdom Hearts’ most iconic antagonists, serving as both a threat and comic relief in the adventure.
