Some of those vaulted are already quite expensive as it is, like Lotso (I really wish they would rerelease him!).

I understand how you feel. I need Kida (who is in fact a princess in her film) to feel like the set is complete.

I've hear that they can't nor can Disney have her out because Amy Adam told Disney that she didn't want her likeness in anything from toys to have a face character at the theme parks. If Disney does that Amy will sue them. So that is why there is nothing of Giselle out.

I will be disappointed if Aladdin is never done. It ticks me off seeing Jasmine's face everywhere when it's not even her movie.

I NEED Aladdin. I need street urchin Aladdin. I need Prince Ali. I need a genie (lamp as base), I need elephant Abu, I need the dumb Sultan and Rajah and baby Rajah, and slave Jasmine, and genie Jafar.

I. NEED. ALADDIN. :D

I'd be curious to see what we'd have gotten if the movie was brand new today, my gut says we would have gotten Aladdin w/ Abu, Jasmin, Genie w/ Carpet, Jafar w/ Iago, Prince Ali, Sultan a guard, and for a HT exclusive or convention exclusive we'd get Slave Jasmine, Genie Jafar, and probably Genie in his tourist outfit (going based on Frozen and that w/ inflation Aladdin was a bigger hit).

I'm right there with you. There's a very short list of Pops I desperately need as a part of my collection at the moment, and Aladdin is probably #1 at this point. As you said, they could make so many variants of Aladdin. I would take any of them. I was talking about this with someone else a few days ago - it's just so strange to me that there's such a lack of Disney princes in Pop form. Is there a reason for that? I'm new-ish to collecting Pops, and I'm sure it's been discussed at length several times before, it just drives me crazy that they've barely made any of the princes. Why did they make two side characters from Aladdin, but not the character it's named after? ](*,)

As per Brian in Ron's Toy Fair interview, a Disney sub box is coming. Hopefully this will help get characters released as Pop!s that otherwise wouldn't be.

Seriously? Why would a subscription box be needed for a specific character to be made? That makes no sense. It's not a licensing issue, so...And I'll be damned if I sub to a Disney box, just to get Frozen crap. I swear to Zeus, if I see Olaf's stupid face one more time I might snap. :evil:

lol Hopefully, the themes aren't vague enough to get a surprise Olaf. If there is ever a winter theme, RUN! This is pretty exciting news though. I'd prefer to just get them released regularly, but I'm totally excited for some awesome Disney characters. I get the feeling this is a way we're going to get characters we've been pulling for. Maybe even remolds, who knows.

The one caution I would give is that it is very possible that the box themes will be more tied to upcoming theatrical releases than the library of characters. Disney Typically has at least 6 movies a year that aren't Marvel or Star Wars. I hope I'm wrong because I would rather see a healthy mix of new film boxes w/ themes also for the huge library of characters. Perhaps a villains box every October with a different 1-2 of the missing villains from previous movies. Maybe even a parks theme box for when different major attractions have significant anniversaries.

I didn't realize Disney releases six movies a year. I guess that would make this box a huge toss up. They could probably manage a few older characters, but if it's anything like MCC then they'll be few and far between then. I'm still counting on Funko for old Disney someway. It seems they do listen to fans.

The box should be out by the time Incredibles 2 is released in 2019. I'll finally get Incredibles pops. Just three years to go..... yup... :-"

Maybe I'm totally wrong on this one, but do you think that Funko doesn't release the Princes because Disney caters more to girls in terms of merchandise?

Take Tangled for example: Flynn is a major character but there isnt much merch for him....am I totally out in left field on this one?

Take Tangled for example: Flynn is a major character but there isnt much merch for him....am I totally out in left field on this one?


But the thing is the Prince like Flynn & Aladdin are always out in Disneyland so you would think with them out they would make figures with them. I myself a big Prince Phillip fan and would love to have a POP! figure of him. I have notes that the Disney Stores do have merchandise of all the Prince from the Prince to Snow White to Prince Naveen and even Kristoff and John Smith from Pocahontas. So I don't know why there is really nothing of the Prince in other stuff.

I'd like it, but it would all depend on the price.

I think with the "princess movies" AKA movies where the princess is the protagonist, they do. I feel like it's different with movies starring animal characters (Lion King had a good selection of Pops, for example) and of course movies like Cars.
It's silly really, I know a bunch of boys who love Princess movies and there isn't much merchandise in the form of, say, clothing for them... Shame. The same is true for girls who love Cars.

This doesn't really explain Aladdin though..

Why does it matter what Disney caters to? Funko made Dr. Facilier and Louis (a freaking gator), but no human Naveen? They made Jafar and the Genie, but no Aladdin? It's HIS FREAKING MOVIE. They made Maximus (horse), but no Flynn? Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs.Potts/Chip, but no human Nameless Prince? Point is, they have no problem making secondary male characters, so WTF FUNKO?!

Funko isn't owned by Disney and they obviously have the licenses necessary.

Would love an explanation, Funko. If you even freakin' have one. :evil:

Them not making an Aladdin is still very odd, he was like every little girls' crush back in the 90's. I would expect him to sell way better than Jafar. There must be a reason. Maybe Disney has to approve every Pop individually? They are very protective of their brand...
Then the question remains: why do they not let Funko make this particular character? It's strange either way...

Just wondering: Has Mushu been vaulted? I ordered him from Amazon at the end of January when it said he was in-stock with them, but then got an e-mail about how they’d have to ship when they received stock. A month has passed…

I want to cancel and buy him from somewhere else that does have it before he starts to disappear, but don’t want to lose the Free Shipping I had with the rest of my order. What to do...

There's no way he was vaulted, he just came out. It's likely Amazon is just out of stock.

I mean it is possible, Aurora was practically Vaulted within a month of her Summer release

BTW, I got to see a screening of Zootopia last night. I think most of you will like it. I promise not to spoil anything but it was lots of fun.
