I find it fascinating that new merchandise is being released based on such an old (well, 1986) film. And a short film, running only 74 minutes. Other than you, Miss Werepuppy, I've never known anyone who mentions this film as being among their favorite Disney animated features; or, indeed, anyone who has mentioned this film at all. It surprises me, then, to see merchandise for it being released.
I wonder if there are plans, somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of the Disney catacombs, to some day resurrect this property? Could these figures be a "market test"?
Or are the toy companies running out of Disney characters to make figures from? Have Elsa and friends finally run their course?
Side note: in Walmart yesterday, the Frozen II dolls, which once dominated the doll aisle, have been reduced to two shelves in one small section.

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
