Thanks for keeping us up-to-date, Don. Can't tell you how thrilled I was upon seeing the Mickey's Christmas Carol scene as part of the announcement. Looking forward to learning more about the new Disney Artist Series and the release information on the Pumpkin King.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Jason. I too was happy to see a scene from Mickey's Christmas Carol being done. Especially after the strong interest in discussions of seeing something done from this film plus the return of a Christmas release. Hopefully this release will do well and we'll see more scenes and characters in the future. The scene chosen sounds like a good start for something from this film. Maybe they will build on it and we'll see Goofy as Marley and the 3 Ghosts (Jiminy, Willie and Pete).
ReplyDeleteDo note the actual release date for the Mummy Boy and Witches (2-piece set) will be released in July vs. October has previously posted by Janeene.
I'm sure the Pumpkin King also being available through authorized dealers and not a Disneyland™ Resort exclusive are making some breathe a sigh of relief :)
I'm so excited to see some more Nightmare figures being released. I've been waiting on planning a trip to Disneyland in October until third quarter releases were announced just in case there was a theme park release.
ReplyDeleteWile I'm excited to see the Witches and Behemoth released as figures, I'm surprised we haven't seen a Sandy Claws figure.
Now I have seen some 'leaked' images do you agree that Ruben has done an incredible job with his sculpts.
