Magical Merchandise: WDW 50th Anniversary Funko Pops

The 50th anniversary celebration of Walt Disney World is well underway, but the merchandise just keeps coming.  Over the past few weeks, I've seen a lot of new 50th products... and some of it has been at retailers and stores other than the parks!

One of Eliot's and my favorites have been the new Funko Pop vinyl figures.  We swore we wouldn't get into collecting these... but here we are.  Some of our favorites are the Disney Parks figures.  When Disneyland celebrated it's 65th anniversary in 2020, Funko released a bunch of different Funko Pop park designs.  We've had high hopes that they would release some for WDW's 50th, and we were not disappointed!

So far, they've released two waves of designs.  The first wave consisted of Mickey and Cinderella Castle, Goofy riding Dumbo, the Queen of Hearts on Mad Tea Party, Mickey on Space Mountain and the Pirates of the Caribbean dog with the keys.

The second wave included Captain Hook riding Peter Pan's Flight, Conductor Mickey from Mickey's Philharmagic and four Peoplemover figures: Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Stitch!  They also had some exclusives in the second wave.  Amazon had a special version of Mickey standing outside of Space Mountain.  Hot Topic has a Diamond (sparkly) version of Philharmagic Mickey.  BoxLunch has a flocked (fuzzy) version of the Pirates to the Caribbean dog!  And Peoplemover Stitch is from Funko's website.

My favorite of all of them so far is obviously Mickey and Cinderella Castle.  I'm a sucker for anything with the castle, and Mickey is in his special 50th outfit!

I really love how they made the characters in the Peoplemover.  It looks like they hook together so that's a cute detail.  Plus, this leaves room for them to make more of them!

I'm so glad they made a Pirates of the Caribbean dog!  I have Redd (the redhead) from a few years ago, so now she has a friend to display with her.

I love these cute figures!  The only thing I haven't seen so far that I'm really hoping they release is more of the characters in their special 50th anniversary outfits.  I'd love to see Pop figures of Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale added to the collection!  Otherwise, Mickey just looks lonely all by himself!

I can't wait to figure out where we're going to display all of our Walt Disney World and Disneyland Funko pop friends!  They definitely add more magic to our house!  °o°
