Flashback Friday - Who Framed Roger Rabbit Baseball Jersey


In the early 90's, Roger Rabbit merchandise was incredibly scarce (which meant that Jessica merchandise was non-existent). A few things were released over time, but for any Roger and Jessica apparel, there was only one shirt released - the Roger Rabbit baseball jersey-style shirt. It was a first of it's kind, and a huge surprise release for The Disney Store. Take a look at this cool shirt with the cartoon cast of Who Framed Roger Rabbit:

Flashback Friday - Jessica Britto Bust



A new Jessica Rabbit statue by neo-pop artist, Romero Britto, was released in 2013. Known for his use of bold colors, graffiti patterns and elements of cubism, Jessica joins the growing list of Disney characters recreated by Britto, such as the Little Mermaid, Tinker Bell and Mickey Mouse. Jessica is featured with different colors and in a style that we've not seen before. At an affordable price, this is still one Jessica piece worth picking up:

Flashback Friday - WDCC Jessica Rabbit Statue


The Walt Disney Classics Collection was started in 1992 and saw a wide collection of characters, such as Mickey Mouse, Buzz Lightyear, Stitch, Tinker Bell, Nightmare Before Christmas, Lion King, The Haunted Mansion, Small World, Snow White, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast - and of course, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The first WDCC Roger and Jessica piece, "Dear Jessica, How Do I Love Thee," was released in 1999, and "I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Drawn That Way" was released in 2004. Both statues are sculpted by Kent Melton, and are a great example of what a high-end Disney collectible should be. Sadly, the Walt Disney Classics Collection statues stopped production in winter of 2013. Take a look at the Jessica statue, which was first in the Leading Ladies series:

13 Jessica Rabbit Halloween Pins #10



Title: Jessica Rabbit Halloween Costume Series 2010
Released: October 4 2010 on Disney's Website
Price: $14.95
Limited Edition: 250
Sold Out

This Flashback Friday for the 13 Creepy, Kooky, Spooky Jessica Rabbit Halloween Pins countdown is filled with torture, mayhem and suspense!! For many years it was well known that Jessica's Halloween pins sold out all too quickly after release. There was no limit amount on how many you could buy and the pins did not require a phone order during this time. It was chaos once again and the pins sold out in no time. That is, if you could find them on the site. Disney changed the look of their site and people were having a little trouble navigating through it. Aside from that, every Monday pins were listed between midnight and 12:30 am (again for people on eastern time that's 3 in the morning!) Sometimes there is a little lag getting all the pins up, which is understandable. This did not happen the week before and mysteriously, none of the other Halloween pins that week sold out.

With Roger and Jessica Rabbit concept art finding it's way to the internet, it appears there is so much more of our favorite characters that we have never seen before.

Jessica was especially difficult for artists to create, with having many different looks and styles before the got to the big screen.

Flashback Friday - The Smallest Jessica Rabbit Figure


Not all Jessica Rabbit statues are big, tall, expensive pieces that you have to handle with white gloves. In the early 2000's Disney started to release small mini-figures of just about every character you could imagine. These tiny figures were similar to Disneykins which had been made in the 1960's. Take a look at this teeny Jessica:
