Funko POP! Disney

[Avaitor]

Cute! Aurora's always been one of the most attractive princesses to me, so I'll definitely consider her.

Ugh, there's just os much stuff that I want from that page. The Re-Action figures especially look incredible. But Willow definitely looks like an absolute day one purchase for me. Rocky, Bullwinkle and Barney Rubble probably are, as well, and I'm thinking about the HTTYD's.

[ProfessorRatigan]

You think there's a chance of the Sultan getting a figure as well?

as for Frozen, I want the big summer blow-out guy. YOO HOO!

I don't think anything is impossible at this point. We have Sir Hiss. Sir Hiss. Sultan's unlikely, though.

I'd love to see peasant Aladdin and Prince Ali in the same set together, but we'll probably only get 1 version of Aladdin at a time, unfortunately. Iago would be fun. Can't wait for Anna and Elsa, too!

I had a thought earlier. I know the games aren't played/liked by everyone here, but I would really love if they released Kingdom Hearts pops in the future--maybe they could coincide whenever KH3 ever comes out? They've had stranger pops; I mean, that they've acknowledged Robin Hood, Epic Mickey, and The Rocketeer, for instance... I'd love to have Donald and Goofy in their KH outfits, plus Riku and Sora (in their KH1 outfits, preferrably, but KH2 outfits would be okay, too). Namine, Aqua, Axel and Terra would be really cute, too.

Come to think of it, I wish they'd do Square Enix properties in general. Would love some Final Fantasy characters--Lulu, Yuna, Auron, Jecht, Fran, Balthier, Vaan, Zidane, Garnet, Kuja, Vivi, Quina, Edea, Ultimecia, Seifer, Quistis, etc. I'm glad they've started doing Dreamworks characters.

I never played Kingdom Hearts and was never really much of a Final Fantasy guy, myself. Always been partial to Zelda, so, I hope we get some of those in the future. They are doing video game characters, though, so, either wouldn't surprise me at this point.

We have the image of Aurora up now.

Thanks for the link! Aurora looks pretty much exactly like I imagined she would. Glad she turned out all right. The finalized Rafiki though... Not really a fan. It's a shame: I really dug the design on paper, but now I'm kind of put off by it. I hope I don't end up feeling that way about Scar, Shere Khan, Sir Hiss or any of the others...

[Avaitor]

I'd be surprised if we don't get any Zelda Pops in the near future. After Sonic and Mario, that has to be the next logical step. I wonder which game they'd base the designs on however. Wind Waker seems like the logical choice to fit in for Pops, but they might go for something more iconic like Ocarina of Time, more recent like Skyward Sword, or just stick with a non-specific looking Link and Zelda.

And yeah, I kind of agree about Rafiki. But it's mostly in the eyes, the big, bright yellow ones don't really work for him, and make him look kind of creepy. I think I'll end up passing on him. :/

Oh, and I'm also super excited for the Ghostbusters and Pulp Fiction figures! I don't even like Slimer that much, but I really want his figure.

[ProfessorRatigan]

I think if they do Zelda, that they should probably go with the designs from Ocarina of Time for Adult Link, Adult Zelda and Ganondorf. That game IS the most iconic among people of a certain generation and it would sell better than Windwaker, I think. Even if I feel Windwaker's designs are more unique and cute. My favorite Zelda (and game of all time, actually) is Majora's Mask, so, I'm hoping they'll do a Skull Kid wearing Majora's Mask figure. That would be a dream come true, as there's little to no merchandise of that character. At least Ganon has figures! I could also see them releasing different characters from each game... Midna and Zant from Twilight Princess, Tingle from Majora's Mask, Vaati the Wind Mage from Four Swords/The Minish Cap... And so on. Come to think of it, ALL of those characters would lend themselves well to the Funko aesthetic. I'd have to resist buying them all.

Sorry to go so off-topic.

For those collecting the Hot Topic Exclusive Hipster Princesses. Belle has started showing up.

[Disney's Divinity]

I might would get the Hipster Belle, but only if she were in her blue outfit, tbh.

I believe I'll get Simba along with Scar. I thought the Rafiki, Timon and Simba were ugly, but Simba's design has grown on me.

[thedisneyspirit]

I like it.

[Avaitor]

Oooh I'm loving the new Game of Thrones sets! I would def. get myself the Sansa one and the Dany one in her purple gown. For a while I really didn't wanna buy most of the GOT pops because they were so ugly. (Sorry, mayor Game of Thrones fan here)

I have the first Dany, but I have to admit, I'm liking the more recent ones they've made of her a lot more. Enough to where I'm considering buying one. Especially since the one I have of her now can't stand up very well, so it's down by my TV, instead of on top like my other Pops.

[pap64]

All of these are so cool! But, I am so disappointed that for the Beauty and the Beast set, Beast in his normal outfit and Gaston were omitted. I adore Beast and Belle in their ballroom outfits, but considering this set has Belle in her blue peasant, it would have been awesome if Beast had his shirtless cape ensemble.

... BUT THOSE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST MINI MYSTERIES FIGURES ARE SOOOOOOO COOL!

[thedisneyspirit]

I know I've said it already, but Jose and Panchito would look so adorable in this style, it'd be awesome. Sadly, we'll have to wait a long time, considering they're not very popular disney characters and the Fab Six aren't even finished yet... (seriously, where is Daisy and Pluto?)

[SpaceAce]

Seeing as how Goofy has been retired due to poor sales I would be surprised if we see Pluto much less Daisy.



Some more info from Toy Fair.

[Disney's Divinity]

Really? I didn't know Goofy had poor sales (not very surprised, since his design could be better...). I had planned to get him eventually, but he was never a priority.

The only characters I have of the Fab Six is Donald. Well, I have Steamboat Willie Mickey, too. I only planned to get Goofy to complete the trio, and maybe Sorcerer Mickey, too.

I have to admit, I hate Daisy and would never buy her. I might get Pluto depending on the design. Would rather have Scrooge McDuck.

[ProfessorRatigan]

Wow, didn't know any of them had been retired yet! Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to have stop putting off getting Cruella. I've seen her at Barnes and Noble, but, I wanted others before her. Now, I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and get her. Any idea if any others are retiring soon? I know I never see Chernabog or Ursula. (That may be because they sell well, who knows? But, I've only encountered one Ursula, when I didn't have any money, and have YET to see Chernabog anywhere.)

[thedisneyspirit]

Ah man, I really wanted Cheshire and Steamboat Willie! So bummed.

[SpaceAce]

No info on who is retiring soon. If I find any info I will let you know.

Steamboat Willie shouldn't be to hard to find, but Cheshire is already starting to climb in price.

[Avaitor]

I think a couple of those are still at Barnes & Noble and the comic book shop, so I may have to consider getting some of them.

Wait, how on earth are Gonzo and Fozzie retired?

[SpaceAce]

Just looked thru the 2014 Funko Catalog and the following are not in it. So it looks like the following may be retired now. Not 100% confirmed though.

#26 - Captain Hook
#31 - Donald Duck
#32 - Winnie the Pooh
#34 - Emperor Zurg
#36 - Mad Hatter
#43 - Chernabog
#46 - Grumpy
#47 - Tigger
#53 - Jafar
#55 - Baloo
#56 - King Louie

Wreck-It Ralph
#01 - Wreck-It Ralph
#02 - Fix-It Felix

#04 - King Candy
#05 - Turbo

[ProfessorRatigan]

I had a feeling Chernabog was... But, Captain Hook, too?! Ah, man. I gotta get him. And Jafar?! He hasn't even been out that long. Baloo and King Louie, too. Seems silly that they might retire, considering Mowgli, Shere Khan and Kaa are coming soon...

[Avaitor]

We definitely have a Chernabog here, and I always keep on sleeping on picking it up, even though that's oen of my most wanted. I'll change that this week.
