Mattias from Frozen 2 had a doll too and he was not a very important character in the film.
They released also Ariel's sister dolls from the live action and they only appear 5 minutes in the movie.
I think that they Did an Amaya doll for fans. They now that they are going to buy her, she's not quite expensive to make
Ariel sisters only exist in the movie to be made into merchandising, they had less than a minute of screentime
And Mattias from Frozen II had originally a song so his role was bigger
There are many characters with songs without a doll. I don't know who decided to release him but it was a bad idea. You can find him in some outlets right now and buy him under 5€.
A female doll is more easy to sell because children’s can brush her hair, change her clothes and they use to look more attractive while a male doll use to be more like an action figure.

I dislike reused names as well. Another pet peeve of mine is when too many main characters have names that start with the same letter (Aurora, Ariel, Alice, Asha, Anita, Anna). I’m fine with it if a character comes from a pre-existing source material, but for original characters they should try to come up with something more unique.

I doubt they have a twist villain, the producers, lee and directors have been very explicit that this is a return to the originals with a simple villain from begining to end, King Magnífico
I assume Amaya is just a good person since Disney is very pro-monarchy and have to show that good monarchs exist (queen Amaya role)
I hope they are straightforward with the story and characters this time around. Though after Moana came out, there was hardly ever twist villains at all; so maybe you could be on to something. But no one knows until the movie comes out.

Just two more days until we get a new poster and the full trailer
And the full voice cast as well.
I'm sure the cast will be full of unknowns
If Dahlia is filipina an unknown but if she's "generic east asian" they maybe cast Stephanie Hsu that has very much the same style as Ariana Debose, both being awards darlings (and both queer)
Edit: now that I think even if Dahlia is of filipina ancestry they will still cast an East asian actor, like they did with Raya that was explicitly South East Asian and not a single cast member was from the region

I think I read somewhere that Danny Pudi (from the TV show Community) might be part of the voice cast, but I don’t know how likely that would be. I guess we’ll have to wait until Wednesday to find out.

He looks like one of the teens so makes sense, and since they will most likely only cast USA actors he makes sense, not a big actor but not small either

Which one of the Teens do you think he looks like?
King Magnifico has the look of a classic Disney villain alright! Plus, it's cool that the aspect ratio will be very similar to Sleeping Beauty which hopefully means that Wish will use the widescreen format to its fullest potential. So excited for the upcoming trailer.

I'm so hyped, I hope the movie feels like Tangled or Moana because I love those movies
I need the movie to be an adventure type of story (a oceans eleven type of movie where they steal the wishes with a big plan would also work) because I'm tired of short movies like Encanto or Frozen II
I need time to pass in the movie, feel that the movie means something
I think The Black Cauldron + Atlantis (+ part of Brother Bear too) had the same aspect ratio (or very similar) to Sleeping Beauty, right? So do we know if Wish will be shown in IMAX?

Unfortunately, no. Not in it’s initial release.
But maybe in December or January, like Barbie, it could come out in IMAX.
