The Bobby Kim x Disney Collection 2, called Baddies, arrives with [villain artwork pulled into streetwear graphics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-mxxxxxx). The lineup leans on bold character art, including a Queen's tee with five famous women villains and a Jafar design that covers most of the shirt. It also plays with [Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mickey-mouse-friends-ski) in offbeat ways, which keeps the collection from feeling like a simple character print run. Releasing October 15 at 9 PM ET through the Disney Store, the drop uses scarcity and a holiday window to drive urgency. That setup makes the collection feel more like a collectible release than a standard licensed tee rack, and it gives Disney's apparel business a sharper seasonal edge.
