Gallery: ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ Toy Preview Reveals New Characters
We’re looking forward toWreck-It Ralphbecause it boasts an entertaining premise, top-notch comic talents, and fun imagery, but no doubt one of the aspects Disney execs are most excited for is the opportunity to sell a whole lot of branded toys this holiday season. While some recent blockbusters have struggled to find appropriate marketing tie-ins (sorry, but in no timeline do the Men in Black have anything to do withBaskin-Robbins), the merchandising opportunities for the video game-themedWreck-It Ralphare practically built right in.
Disney unveiled its upcoming line ofWreck-It Ralphtoys at their Holiday Gifts Preview event, and in the process introduced some more of the secondary figures who fill out Ralph’s universe. Get a glimpse of the new characters (in toy form) after the jump.
Pixar Timespicked up these images. Among the toys they got to preview are scented plushes of ten characters we haven’t seen yet, who all seem to come from theSugar Rushgame featured in the film and will be priced at $8.99 each.
Like fellowRusher Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman), they boast some truly ridiculous names: Adorabeezle Winterpop, Crumbelina Dicamello, Fluggerbutter, Gloyd Orangeboar, Jubileena, Minty Zaki, Snowanna Rainbeau, Swizzle “The Swizz” Malarkey, Taffyta Muttonfudge, and my personal favorite, Candle Head. (She’s the one with the candle on her head.)
But it’s not just the supporting characters who’ll be turned into toys, of course. Our gallery also features glimpses of talking figures for Ralph and Vanellope, which will cost $44.99 each and go on sale in October; $29.50 “Talking Smash Hands” for when you want to emulate Ralph and destroy some buildlings; and a $16.50 “pixellated plush” version of Ralph.Pixar Timesdidn’t post any pics of Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer) or Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch) toys, but I’ve no doubt they’ll be coming down the pipeline soon too.
