Check Out The Team Behind Wishables -Disney’s Latest Collectibles Craze
This year, we here at MickeyBlog fell in love with a brand new line of collectables called Wishables! These soft, small, squishable figures have become a guest favorite since they made their debut earlier this year!
If like me, you’ve ever wondered how Wishables came to be we’ve got a video you’ll definitely want to check out! Merchandising manager Julie Young and character artist Maria Stuckey made up part of the team that came up with these cuddly collectables. The collections are tied to experiences that guests have during a Disney vacation.
“I believe Wishables are so unique and have really resonated with our guests because they are so cute,” Julie said. “It’s also about that experience and that memory that the guest is taking home with them.”
To date, more than 70 Wishables have been released so far. Each cute collectible represents a favorite Disney theme park character, snack, or even attraction vehicle! Maria had this to say about being a part of the Wishables team, “Disney has a deep root in who I am as an artist and a person and being able to take that love and share it with other guests is just a dream come true,” said Maria.
Take a special behind-the-scenes look at how these toys were created:
