Disney Adventurer Action Figures

      The "Disney Adventurers" line of action figures was created in 1999 and available exclusively in Disney Stores. The series consisted of 5 renown male characters that were made in 3 varying sizes - 11" boxed sets, 7" blister packs and 2" boxed sets. The "Disney Adventurers" line prevails to be one of the only lines that focuses specifically on male Disney characters. Each character has full articulation and includes a bundle of accessories. We are showcasing 4 of the 11" boxed sets; we were not able to acquire Captain Hook, the only villain released in the all male series.


     Hercules is portrayed as a courageous warrior from ancient times. The logo on the front of his packaging is an impression of a sword. He comes with a his lightning bolt sword, a smaller sword and a shield.  Hercules is a personal favorite of ours, his accessories as well as the figure itself are both perfectly sculpted.



     Tarzan has a spear, a knife and a swinging vine accessory. The logo on Tarzan's case features the arrowhead from his spear. This is the most well done Tarzan figure that we have come across to date. The expression on the face of this particular figure is true to the film and portrays his character extremely well even at a glance.



      Peter Pan comes with a bow and arrow, knife, sword and axe. Pan's packaging is unique from the others, it does not have a logo on the front window of the box. His detailed accessories are exactly what you would find in the Lost Boys camp itself. The sculpt of Peter Pan himself is also very well done.



       Aladdin is complete with his magical genie's lamp, a sword and a large sabre. The logo on the front of his box is an impression of the genie's lamp. These figures are now only available on the secondary market. We hope to update soon showcasing Captain Hook, the final release in the series.

Disney Store Exlclusive Cars 2 Deluxe PVC Sets

        In honor of the theatrical release of Cars 2 Disney Store has created this pair of beautiful deluxe figurine playsets. This is the first time that Disney has released two different deluxe sets to commemorate the debut of a film.

     The first set focuses on the racers from the world grand prix featured in Cars 2. The attention to detail of every racers particular style is true to the film and very well done. There are a total of 10 figures in this set that sold out very quickly. The second set focuses on the spies from the film, both the villains and our heros. Though there are only 7 figures in this set, the size of each piece is very impressive. We would strongly recommend both sets to collectors and fans of the film alike.

Emperor Zurg Talking Room Guard by Thinkway Toys


      Emperor Zurg talking room guard by Think Way Toys was created for the theatrical release of Toy Story 2. Zurg was very sought after even upon the original release of the product and sold out very quickly. When you press the button on the base Zurg speaks one of twenty different phrases. As he is speaking, his eyes and mouth light up. He also features moving arms and a light up laser gun. There is a motion-activated sensor that can be set to greet objects that cross his path with ominous warnings. This item can only be found on the secondary market and has become very sought after by collectors and fans of the film alike.

Mad Hatter Vinyl Collectible Doll by Medicom


      Medicom Toy Corp. created this Mickey Mouse Vinyl Collectible Doll inspired by the Mad Hatter from Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland. Mickey is dressed in the Mad Hatter's iconic attire that stays true to his outfit in the film. Medicom did a fantastic job at handpainting every intricate detail onto Mickey's costume. This piece was just released within the last month and quantaties are already running low within North America. This is one of the more elaborate Vinyl Collectible Dolls released by Medicom Toy Corp. and is definitely a favourite of ours, here at Disney Pixar Fanatics.

Nightmare Before Christmas Square Enix/Formation Arts Figures


     The Japanese based company Square Enix has a line of figures called Formation Arts that depict scenes from Disney films and video games, with a unique perspective. This Nightmare Before Christmas set was released in 2010 and is scarcely available in Canada and the US. It features four different figures that are impressively detailed, standing under 12 cm tall. Each of the Nightmare Before Christmas scenes are mounted ontop of Halloweentown Hall with a plaque that reads "The Nightmare Before Christmas". The first figure in the package is called "Rub-a-dub-dub!" and has Lock, Shock and Barrel in their mobile tub. The second one is sculpted after Jack's initial take off as Santa. Zero leads the skeleton reindeer with Jack in his coffin sleigh behind. It is entitled "Off We Go!". The third figure in this set features Sandy Claws trapped in Oogie Boogie's Lair and it is called "Sandy Claws in Peril". The final figure in this set has Jack and Sally alongside the iconic Spiral Hill. It is called "Moonlight Confession" and captures the moment from the film very well.
