I'll start this off, then...So I think they are cute to a point but I am not the plush toy audience.

Donald and Goofy are cute, but it's kinda just not my style. X:

I don't mind plushies, in fact I would love one of them... IF it was the original characters. I am extremely irritated that all this merchandise is just Disney characters. They are the lesser part of the series. I mean, at least make Sora, the MAIN character of the game.

Nah not my thing, I'm still on point with more original KH merch and not just Disney characters which we can get almost in every toy store. Difference only in clothing and price

Why couldn't it have been Sora, Riku, and Kairi? :(

I love plushies, and love we're getting KH plushies, but I'm pretty miffed that the majority of all this merchandise has been the Disney trio.

They are okay, I mean I have Funko plushies but I wish for it to be Sora, Riku and Kairi too.

Hey look,a Dolan plushie.

Seriously though,this doesn't interest me,it would be more cool if it was the original characters.

I never buy the plushes.

Personally, I'm glad the Disney characters are getting their fanfare considering how much the fandom seems to hate the Disney aspect of the games. :p

Well, it's nice there are so many KH merchandises coming out - this is what we wanted for all these years after all, right?
it's just... it's really just Disney characters, which is rather upsetting imo. This could've been their chance to release more merch for the characters that didn't get nearly enough (Naminè, Kairi, everyone whose name isn't "Sora/Riku/Roxas").

@Tartarus: I don't hate the Disney aspect at all. Really. It's, like I said, a missed opportunity. Of course new KH merch is always appreciated, but...

They really don't. This is more of a matter of there already being tons of Disney merchandise for Disney characters already. Why do we need even more of it when there are literally over two dozen original characters with no merchandise at all.

Love plushies, but just not interested in these ones...

I may actually get these and hope for plushies of the original cast (and Aqua). So far, I've only gotten plushies. Just Chirithy in fact, but I preordered the rerelease of the Shadow and I'd totes jump on board for a Dusk and a Flood.

People have been wanting KH merch.... of actual KH characters. I'm sure you can find Mickey, Donald, and Goofy plushies anywhere and you can call them KH plushies especially fi they're in their original outfits cause they literally are in the game. But there's barely anything of anyone else, and all the other merch announced lately is absolutely hideous and super cheap looking.

What is the deal? I though Nomura was all about quality. Funko is ok, but some of these other releases are not. I see such cute well done figures and merch of all different kinds of games and anime and Kingdom Hearts just continues to get... crap.

I threw a picture of the plushies on display into the OP so you can see what they actually look like :)

I don't know what it is, but something about them seems really off to me (especially Mickey looks awful imo because of his face or headshape). Are they prototypes or final?

Mickey does look hella off, it's almost creepy D:

They're prototypes.

They look a little off, but they're still cute. I might get them if they look good in person.

Now i can confirm that he definitely looks like Dolan and not Donald.

More images added to OP.

They are undoubtedly cute, but yeah, I'm not the one.

This ruined me

They are cute in a weird way. I'm so happy we have an official Dolan plush tho

I'd like to see these sold at the store I work at for sure

They don't look too bad. At least not as bad as the Domez lol. But Donald definitely does look like he's unintentionally stylized to look more like Dolan.

They look cute to me... in a derpy way LOL I think Goofy is the best one because he looks decent and not as derpy

As others have pointed out, if you look closely at the KH logo on the boxes, there is one name above it: Disney. I doubt Nomura had any real say in the decisions as of late with all of this merchandise.

That being said, this is all so new with KH merchandise and who knows what else being made privately, we may see more Sora/Riku/Roxas merchandise just yet. I specify them because, let's be real...merchandise of other characters?

I would have thought Disney learned their lesson the first time they tried to sell super cheaply made KH merch...

The way I look at is we probably wouldn't have got any pops without Disney. The only connection SE has to Funko that I know of is the couple of Soul Eater and Black Butler pops that have been made, whereas Disney has lines upon lines upon lines of them.

And it's because I think Disney is the reason we even got these that I think they're testing the waters with Disney characters only. I don't believe Disney really sees KH as a lucrative merchandising property, and they approved characters that non-KH fans might consider buying. If these are successful, I'm sure we'll get a line of the original characters. And hopefully that'll wake SE up, and they'll give Funko access to their Final Fantasy characters, too.

Agreed. My brother recently went to Disney World and said that in a store with literally thousands of collectible Disney pins they only had one Kingdom Hearts pin that you could buy, and that was of a hooded Mickey Mouse. With them allowing access to their Disney characters, they're probably just seeing how successful these things end up being before they decide to open the flood gates and allow a Sora pop figure to be made.

Also, I have never really seen Disney advertise Kingdom Hearts in any way at all, especially at the parks, where Disney's stores are by far the most abundant. Even when the games are close to coming out I see nothing advertising wise, I don't think they want to advertise the series that much until they know the size of the fanbase they're dealing with here (although they've had 15 years to do it).
