Forgotten characters......

[Disneyclaire]

Do you ever wonder why some characters that you love seem to be missed out by the decision makers for Disney merchandise.
Be it WDCC, Lenox, Pez, stuffed toys, action figures, mugs, tree ornaments and so on......
I'm not saying there has never been a single thing made featuring this character, just it's not as readily available as some.

Here's my personal top 5 of characters that merchandise forgot

1) Rachel (Fantasia2000)
2) Alameda Slim (Home on the range)
3) Morph (Treasure Planet)
4) Runt of the litter (Chicken Little)
5) Celia (Monsters Inc)

Bowler hat guy and the penguins from Marry Poppins just missed the cut as they have their own vinylmation figure.

Let's hear yours......

Here are some of my choices:
1. Ferdie and Morty (Mickey's nephews)
2. Huey Dewey and Louie - they are not forgotten really but they NEED a vinylmation
3. Evinrude from the Rescuers
4. Ratigan from the Great Mouse Detective
5. Faline - Bambi's girlfriend
6. Gurgi, Hen Wen - from Black Cauldron
7. Mr. Toad's friends (Moley, Ratty, MacBadger)

and so many others...

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is my favorite Disney film other than Fantasia, and it bums me out that it's basically swept under the rug by Disney. It's probably way too dark and mature for most little kids, but that's part of why I love it.

Here's hoping Frollo is in Villains 3.

I agree with Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is an amazingly beautiful movie and one I know I did not appreciate until I was an adult. Also, there is rarely any Hercules merch.

Oswald wasn't so much forgotten as he was not owned by Disney up until a few years ago, they didn't really have a choice until Universal gave over the rights.

I know but ive heard so many people pick up the oswald plushie at the disney store and they go "oh look! its mickey mouse back when he was a rabbit" its really sad =( i love oswald and i cant wait till disney does more with him, hopefully epic mickey 2 makes him a little more popular, expecially with the kiddies

1) Sheriff of Nottingham (Robin Hood)
2) Trigger & Nutsy (Robin Hood)
3) Basil of Baker Street (Great Mouse Detective)
4) Fidget (Great Mouse Detective)
5) David Q. Dawson (Great Mouse Detective)
6) Pecos Bill (Pecos Bill)
7) Widowmaker (Pecos Bill)
8) Slue Foot Sue (Pecos Bill)
9) Brer Bear (Song of the South)
10) Brer Fox (Song of the South)
11) Brer Rabbit (Song of the South)
12) The Reluctant Dragon (The Reluctant Dragon)
13) Heffalumps & Woozles (The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh)
14) Flotsam & Jetsam (Little Mermaid)
15) Casey (Casey at the Bat)

Really, honestly I'd love to see more merchandise (especially vinyls) of these wonderful characters.
I'd also love for Disney to release Song of the South from the deathgrip of the vault...but I doubt that will ever happen.

EDIT:
I just had to add a couple more and change some things around.

1) Rachel (Fantasia2000)

Being a rabid Fantasia 2000 fan I know that some Rachel plushies exist as a part of a Disney Store set released during the release of Fantasia 2000. theres also a limited edition pin of rachel.

although I wouldn't mind some more fantasia 2000 merchandise myself. Im a big Punkin (the flamingo during the carnival of the animals segment) fan myself. so my list would look something like this.

YoYo Flamingo aka Punkin (Fantasia 2000)
Pink Elephants (Dumbo)
Firebird (Fantasia 2000)
Monstro (Pinochio)
Headless Horseman (Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad)
Egrets From Blue Bayou/ Claire De Lune (Make Mine Music) <--- would love a wdcc of this!
Johnny Fedora (Make Mine Music)
Alice Blue Bonnet (Make Mine Music)

Anything from :
Emperor's new Groove,
Kingdom Hearts Merchandise,
Lilo (Lilo & Stitch)
