Re: Official Disney Characters Updates
Yeah as you can't tell from my sign and avatar Elsa is my favorite. And your right Nightmare Elsa is the most famous out of them all I even when to the Disney store to see what they had n only thing they have is plush figures of Anna and Kristoff and dolls of Hans and Kristoff and dress of Anna only and mugs with Anna. I really hope we get to see something with Frozen.

Re: Official Disney Characters Updates
I'm over the moon with these new announcements! Huge Disney Villain collector here, so, I'll definitely be getting SCAR, SIR HISS, SHERE KHAN, PRINCE JOHN and Kaa. I'm really digging the Angelina Jolie Maleficent, too, which surprises me. I am NOT exactly looking forward to that movie, haha. Jessica is one I'll definitely be trying to get, too. These are just... Gimme! Gimme! Any idea how long it'll be before they're in stores?
Funko, great job! These all look terrific! (Now, please, consider FROLLO, GASTON and HADES for the next batch. Those are the three I want most!)

Re: Official Disney Characters Updates
So from that list of Disney POP! I see the only ones I will get are....
1. Aurora
2. Belle (in blue)
3. Lumirer
4. Robin Hood
5. Prince John
I got to see the figures of Miss Potts,Chip & Cogsworth to make sure I really want them. Cause of right now from looking at the drawings I don't like the looks to them.
Wonder what happen to Aladdin and with Anna & Elsa and maybe Olaf that Brian said they be coming out in 2014.

I don't think the past catalogs have included *everything* that was released in the year. Maybe they just don't have anything to share (figures OR art) on Aladdin or the Frozen Pops yet.

I was already THRILLED that we were getting Robin Hood, but I literally squealed when I saw Prince John.

I second your requests for Gaston and Hades!

Re: Official Disney Characters Updates
The catalog says Spring 2014 so it seems as though we will be getting at least one more catalog this year..I'm guessing semi annual...Toy Fair and SDCC are roughly 5 months apart so I could see a new catalog coming out around then

I'd find that kind of scary, there are already 25 new characters coming from Disney alone this year, let alone the 2 muppets (I'm surprised there aren't more), the next wave of star wars (I only need Emperor Palpatine myself), and all the new Marvel (granted all I'll be getting are MCU title characters) but that puts my list up to 34 new figures this year in Disney owned IPs.
My grand total already owned is 138... the scary thing is that this will put me up to 172 figures, then I think about how much they all cost (lets just say 10 each) which means I'll have spent $1,720 just on pop figures

I second on that with Queen Elsa. Infact when I see it up for per-order who ever does it I will go for it. Cause I know when they hit the internet or store Elsa be the first one to go fast.

No love for Frollo? Personally, Hunchback is my all-time favorite Disney movie and Frollo is a big part of the reason why. I consider him the best villain the company has ever done. Since I discovered Disney POPS I've held out hope Frollo would make it in. I've always thought he'd lend himself very well to Funko's design with his big hat, beady eyes and crooked nose. I could easily picture a POP of him with beady, angry eyes, holding a lit torch in his hand.

Hades is one I really want to see, too, but worry how he'll translate. He's very pin-headed by design, so, I fear if he were POP-ed his head might end up looking too...odd. But, I hope if they DO do him, that they'll make some clear blue vinyl flames for his hair and not just a solid blue.
Gaston I want to be holding the Magic Mirror from the 'kill the beast!' scene. Don't know why any Gaston merchandise never showcased that moment. It's his most diabolical scene! It seems every Gaston toy I've ever seen since 1991 is just goofily flexing his muscles.

Haha, noooo... Frollo creeps me out too much. ;P Hunchback Pops WOULD look cool though. :P
I would hope for Hades they would do some "semi-sheer" flames a la Ghost Rider.

They hit my most wished-for characters with Robin and Prince John, but next in line for me are Great Mouse Detective Pops - Basil and Ratigan - and then Emperor's New Groove Pops.

I definitely want Sebastian and Flounder Pop!s, but if we could only have one more TLM Pop! made it would have to be Eric. We really need more princes to catch up with the princesses and villains.

Re: Official Disney Characters Updates
God I love everyones lists. I do want to finish collecting the princesses so Tiana, and Rapunzel (I'm kinda shocked they're not already funkoized...especially Rapunzel's popularity.) Of course the Frozen Girls and crew. Oh and Pocahontas
Personally I'd love having Pongo or any of the Dalmations be a funko.
Mulan would be really cool, but would she be in her traditional garb or as Ping in the soldier gear?

As you can see from my username, I love The Great Mouse Detective. Honestly, though, I considered the idea of Ratigan and Basil getting POPS to be so far-fetched that it was impossible. But, now that we're getting Prince John and Sir Hiss, I'm not so sure anymore. I'd probably lose my mind if Ratigan got a figure.
I agree about Gaston. For some reason, out of all the classic 'Princess' villains, he and Lady Tremaine from Cinderella NEVER get blessed with merchandise. Maybe it's because they're more realistic and human and not quite as flamboyant and colorful as the Ursulas and Maleficents of the canon.

Disney did make a Gaston shirt which I have here is a photo of me wearing it.

Also he does have the magic mirror in his hand.

That's not the Magic Mirror. That's just a regular mirror, the one he gazes in during "Belle."

With all the Frozen promotion that was going on during the release I'm surprised they didn't have Pops for the characters during the theatrical run.

I was thinking the same thing. At least we know for sure that we are getting them, and hopefully that's very soon!

I totally agree! I mean, Disney makes next to no effort to produce merchandise for anything besides their princess movies, Mickey Mouse & Co., and their Pixar movies (I guess you could include Marvel, too, but I still consider them their own thing). But I'm starting to hope now that Funko is giving some neglected Disney films some Pops.

I can understand more why Lady Tremaine is overlooked, but I mean... at least Gaston is funny. :P I was disappointed since he wasn't included in this new BatB wave, but on the other hand Aurora and Aladdin are being released by themselves.

What are your thoughts on getting more princes? I know several of them are basically nonentities, but I really love Philip; I'd buy him and Prince Charming in an instant tbh.

I guess it wasn't known that the audience would think that Frozen was better than the likes of The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast; maybe it's a lack of long term memory. I don't agree with that assessment at all, the Frozen story had a lot of holes in the plot. It doesn't come close to the other two.

I agree. The entire movie went downhill after "Let It Go" imo. I did enjoy that first third of the movie, but it had a lot of problems, and I'm pretty much the only person in my social circle who feels that it wasn't "BEST DISNEY MOVIE EVAAAR IT MOCKS THE TYPICAL DISNEY LOVE STORY AND IS ABOUT SISTERZZZZ!!!!1". I'm glad to find I'm not alone.

I mean, Disney makes next to no effort to produce merchandise for anything besides their princess movies, Mickey Mouse & Co., and their Pixar movies (I guess you could include Marvel, too, but I still consider them their own thing). But I'm starting to hope now that Funko is giving some neglected Disney films some Pops.
I can understand more why Lady Tremaine is overlooked, but I mean... at least Gaston is funny. :P I was disappointed since he wasn't included in this new BatB wave, but on the other hand Aurora and Aladdin are being released by themselves.![]()
What are your thoughts on getting more princes? I know several of them are basically nonentities, but I really love Philip; I'd buy him and Prince Charming in an instant tbh.
Amen to the point about Disney not giving any love to their non-Princess films. It's a complaint I've had for YEARS. It's gotten so bad that I have actually started to despise the Princesses (as a BRAND), when, in fact, I actually quite LIKE most of their films. But, the idea that Mulan and Pocahontas, both of whose original films are pretty much on the same level of public recognition as, say, Hunchback, Hercules, Robin Hood, The Emperor's New Groove and so on, get merchandise JUST because they've been arbitrarily included in a marketing line-up for politically-correct reasons is...well, it just makes me livid sometimes.
I think Lady Tremaine is one of those villains that people just LOATHE. Me, I think that's a GOOD thing. It means she's accomplished her job as the VILLAIN and made you so actively despise her. But, I think too many just hate her without even thinking about how well done she is to INSPIRE that hatred in the first place. Gaston, though, completely mystifies me. He's got some of the greatest lines, greatest songs and one of the greatest roles in the story of his film of ANY Disney villain, he has the Disney Prince good looks and he's a nasty cut of work. I honestly don't know WHY this character gets relegated to the dustbin of Disney Villains. I was quite disappointed we got Peasant Belle over Gaston. If we'd gotten Gaston, the main cast of the film would have been rounded out! Such a wasted opportunity. (Plus, I have a friend who is crazy about the character and who LOVES POPS. I just know if they made Gaston he'd be the perfect birthday/christmas gift for her. So, I've wanted to see him included for THAT reason as much as my own affinity for the character.)
The Princes? You know, except for Phillip, Naveen, Aladdin and Eric, I find them duller than rocks. I mean, I know from a marketing stand point, it'd be smarter for Funko to do them to 'complete' the Princesses (Wow. That sounds bad. As if women need a man to complete them. I didn't mean that at all...

Oh, and, count me among the people underwhelmed by Frozen. That film's success baffles me. I have my problems with The Lion King, but, oh, boy, do I have more with Frozen. A LOT more. I hope this thing doesn't become the monstrously overrated 'Disney classic' of the day. (But I can already see it. "The best Disney film since Frozen!" Oy. It already hurts.)

Re: Official Disney Characters Updates
I happen to love Frozen to me it was one of the best Disney movies out of all Disney movie. Infact this makes the first time ever that I have seen a movie more then once in the theater infact I have seen it 3 times. I have a friend that has seen it 9 times and 3 of the 9 was right in a row. I love the songs the story and the twist in the movie. I'm glad it wasn't one of those Princess falls in love with a man but have ture love for a sister. My top 5 Disney movies are.
Frozen
Sleeping Beauty
Little Mermaid
Brother Bear
Beauty & the Beast.
I never did like Lion King at all to me it was one of the wrost movies out.

Re: Official Disney Characters Updates
I was also a huge fan of Frozen. Don't get me wrong, I do understand where the dislike comes from and how some parts may not be necessary or how it could have added more to make it better. But all in all, when I watched it, I fell head over heels for it and I loved it to pieces! I loved it so much I designed myself a phone case of Elsa (There are no good looking Windows phone cases anywhere). I never thought of the Lion King as an absolute masterpiece until I saw commercials for Frozen and it honestly confused me because I didn't see it as such. Every Disney movie has its ups and downs, but personally, I hope that Funko does finish all the Princesses because my collection feels incomplete without them.
101 Dalmatians was my favorite movie growing up, so I would love to see pops! of Roger and Anita, as well as a puppy or two!
