Coming Soon - Roger Rabbit Funko POP!

 

Funko had a big reveal day recently and showed off a bunch of new figures on the way. These will be available at New York Comic Con in October but also through various other sites - this one in particular scheduled for Funko.com at some point around the convention.

This new Roger Rabbit POP! has Jessica's kisses all over his bashful face. It will be part of the POP! Movies series (the first figure was part of the Disney series). 

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:

Roger Rabbit Pop Vinyl Figures Revealed

The POPVinyls.com website nabbed this picture (and a whole lot more) of Funko's catalog of upcoming figures at the NY Toy Fair happening this week. Here for the first time is the Who Framed Roger Rabbit set of four characters - Jessica Rabbit, Smarty Weasel, toon Judge Doom (with squeaky shoe), and Roger Rabbit!

Flashback Friday - Jessica Rabbit Flexies Figure

Among the very first official Roger Rabbit merchandise released were bendable figures called Flexies - which included Roger, Eddie, Judge Doom, Jessica, Baby Herman and Boss Weasel. These, along with smaller figures, called Animates, are so far the only types of Roger Rabbit action figures to be produced. The Flexies were made of rubber with a wire inside so you can "pose" them in various positions. There was also a small bit of text on the back of the figure cards truly bringing out the "Who Done It" type mystery aspect of the movie.

"Zany film characters you can collect, bend and pose! The mystery continues! Was there a will... Who bumped off Acme... Who Framed Roger Rabbit... What part does Baby Herman play... Detective Eddie Valiant is on the case. Perhaps it was the evil Judge Doom and his Weasel companions... or maybe the ambitious, beautiful Jessica is behind it all... Re-enact all the action or create your own adventures with your Who Framed Roger Rabbit™ Flexies™: Collect Them All!"

Roger Rabbit Vinylmation

The rumors were true - there is a Roger Rabbit Vinylmation figure on the way! There is no information yet as to when it will be released, but this is going to be a larger scale Vinylmation figure which will stand at 9" tall. No word on a Jessica figure right now, or if this Roger figure with come packed along with a small Vinylmation companion like a lot of the large figures did.

Jessica Rabbit Merchandise Review #36 - Collector Pack Figure

Back in 2007, Disney releases Series Five of their Collector Pack Mini-figures. If you were like me, you didn't even know there was a series one through four. Series Five finally contained some Roger Rabbit figures - one being Jessica of course!

Jessica Rabbit Custom Statue

With all the excitement of the upcoming Jessica Rabbit Premium Format statue by Sideshow Toys, we are treated to a step-by-step look at a custom made Jessica statue by one of the talented artists of Deviantart. Member Celso Ryuji is busily at work creating a very character accurate Jessica statue and I have permission from the artist to show the progress on this site. You can take a look at his awesome work on his Deviantart page, featuring characters like She-Ra, Hello Nurse from Anamaniacs and Irma from Ninja Turtles.

Jessica Rabbit Merchandise Review #2 - Disney Beanie

Before people were crazy about pins, they were crazy over little stuffed bears called Beanie Babies by the Ty Company. Eventually, Disney got into the act with its own line of beanies based on its characters. For a very long time the characters of Who Framed Roger Rabbit remained missing from the line, but soon after the films 10th Anniversary, Roger and Benny the Cab were released in stores.



With a small surge of merchandise released, the possibility for a Jessica beanie seemed hopeful, but still uncertain. Yet, 1999 finally brought us a plush version of our curvaceous cartoon. Jessica was sold only as a set with Baby Herman through the Disney catalog and website. For a plush doll, it's perfect and an exact representation of her film counterpart.



Her face is embroidered and earns the best points for the doll as it is a very accurate representation. Her hair is three pieces. The main part is the back. The other is the part which covers her right eye. It has a little less stuffing in it so it's more movable. The third part is longer and attached to her left side, cascading over her shoulder. Her gloves are a satin-like material (although not as shiny as in the promotional photo and perhaps a different shade) with a wavy ric-rac border down the side which mimics the light colored reflection often seen drawn on her gloves. The dress is the usual color with the slit on the correct side.



For a beanie, I suppose they did the best they could with her chest adding a strategically placed seam right in the middle.



On a humorous note, she is wearing small white panties. There are really the bean-beads in this doll located in her lower torso, backside and legs. The colors are all correct and although it's a mini bean bag, at 10 inches, it's a big enough plush to enjoy. This beanie is easily found on eBay and is worth picking up.




A solid 4½ for accurate face and details, being part of a set, and rounds out a nice collection of four characters from the film.
