Goofy Plush...

My daughter wanted me to ask why Goofy is disrespected within MK... she was very upset to see all the other characters had a good selection of small to very large plushs but not for Goofy. She even asked a CM at one of the stores and was told that she would only be able to find a very large plush if we went to DTD.

I personally think he is 100% more popular then Pluto. How many Pluto shapped hats do you see arouind the parks? I seen TONS of Goofy ones like my daughter had.

I don't agree that Goofy is not popular. He is certainly represented in every parade and a number of character events. He even has his own candy store. I don't ever remember not being able to find a plush. I know for awhile at least, they released special editions--we have a Tower of Terror Goofy, a couple of ones from the countries, and even a Darth Vader Goofy from a Star Wars Weekend a few years back.

Its not that we couldnt find one, just that they were all small ones and all the other characters had larger sizes to pick from.

He probably suffers from what I call the "Donald syndrome."

For years people clamored for more Donald merchandise. Then, when PhillarMagic opened, the shop at the exit was almost exclusively Donald. Marketing saw this as their big chance to make amends.

And you know what happened?

The store didn't make any money - no one bought the Donald stuff. So they decided to bring in other items, and that is why you rarely see much Donald-exclusive merchandise.

It happens all the time.

We had the exact same problem. My kids each pick out a small plush everytime we go, and last time my son wanted Goofy. All we could find of Goofy dressed in his regular clothes were larger ones. The only small ones we could find were the YOAMD Goofy and a pirate Goofy. We went to every store in MK that sells them and they did not have what we wanted. I was REALLY surprised that they did not even sell it in ToonTown, especially since Goofy even has his own ride (The Goofy Barnstormer). We ended up getting the pirate Goofy because my son had his heart set on getting a Goofy that trip. But I still want the regular Goofy for our collection. I love Goofy!
BTW, I remember seeing small plushes of LOTS of characters that are nowhere near as popular as Goofy in The Emporium.
