I like no. 90. :)

Not sure about the orange bird. Looks sort of commercialised. Very un-Disney.

I clicked the Orange Bird and it said something about the Orange Growers Association, Disney must have designed that thing as their mascot at some point.

I want the figure of Walt holding Mickey's hand. If anyone knows where you can order one, let me know!

I am positive I've seen the Orange Bird in some Disney product, but I'm not sure where. Maybe it's featured in some picture book or music record from the 70's that I have. I must check.

Maybe its a first look at the merchandise for 'Chicken little'? ;)

Hmm.. it looks a bit like an old version of the Sunkist-creatures (see http://www.sunkist.com/kids/ ).

EDIT: found it. It's a mascot for the Florida Citrus Growers when they sponsored the Tropical Serenade at Walt Disney World. It was (obviously) designed by Disney. See http://www.toymuseum.com/inside/c11/3265079a.html for some more details.

Cool! Thanks Bean:Therio! Still seems odd that he would be in the Magical Collection, but for hardcore collectors it's an interesting, obscure character to collect.

Where is that orange bird from? Looks like the mascot for Florida orange juice or something.
Dragon, not lizard. I don't do that tongue thing.
