That's fair. And I'm biased because I love Tron, but I still think this would be more appealing than the Navi figure. We'll see how the actual figures turn out with someone's likeness. A big turn off for me on the Navi ones was that I didn't think they looked like the people they scanned. Unlike the old Star Wars ones that came out great.

More chances to get Mickey's fat fingers into the wallet. The value of the price of admission continues to erode. In 1982, this would have been part of the cost of admission.Pricing announced for the TRON Identity Program retail experience to open at the new Tomorrowland Launch Depot in Magic Kingdom

I'm actually pleasantly surprised, I expected it to be way more.

Id consider myself fairly die-hard TRON fan but I have no interest in this, and not even because of the price. I'm more interested in the retro gear that I hope they add to over the next few months.

Uh, when was a toy ever part of the price of everyday admission?

You would think that Disney would have given Cindy Morgan a proper Tron shirt. Not sure how they let an actress who starred in the orginal movie wear a Tron Cryptocurrency shirt she got off Amazon. How pathetic.

Haha wow, I didn’t even notice that. I’m not a huge fan of these shoddy media events 3 weeks before opening and then pretty much nothing on opening day.

Good to see Disney's media team are on top of stuff
At the official dedication ceremony for TRON Lightcycle Run - Cindy Morgan who played Lora in TRON (1982) wore a TRON shirt... but not the movie TRON but the crypto currency called TRON instead!
Easy mistake to make on her part, but unbelievable that someone on Disney's media team didn't catch before the official ceremony. They are PAID to notice things like that! Guess they were too busy drinking and partying in a closed off Tomorrowland.
Oh and if that isn't bad enough, all of the media/influencers who went along were told to use hashtag #TRON. But no one at Disney has checked and seen that the hashflag emoji is of the crypto and links back to the crypto. So all these influencer tweets have free promotion for a crypto currency!

The price of the action figure and the fact that Disney’s top-notch PR staff didn’t pick up on Cindy’s shirt:
While I agree that PR should have caught this, I’m not sure this is a “mistake on her part.” I wouldn’t be surprised if the crypto company paid her to wear it.At the official dedication ceremony for TRON Lightcycle Run - Cindy Morgan who played Lora in TRON (1982) wore a TRON shirt... but not the movie TRON but the crypto currency called TRON instead!

The same theme park probably wouldn't have Jungle Cruise, Pirates, and Splash right next to each other. Tron, Space, and Barnstormer are all different experiences despite all 3 being coasters.

The shirt is on Amazon right now alongside TRON movie merchandise. I highly doubt "the crypto company paid her to wear it." More likely answer is that she was enthusiastic to be there and wanted to wear a shirt for the ceremony. It's an easy mistake to make. But Disney should have caught it beforehand.

It's Disney's way of getting crypto bros to go to the parks!

I understand the sentiment but that's not completely fair. They scan your face, record some lines, and apply those to your action figure. That does sound pretty cool and they make it seem like there's an experience associated with it.Ninety bucks for an off-the-shelf plastic toy?

Imagine if they made star wars action figures that looked like kenner ones. Even without sound if they just kind of got hair color and had the package picture and your name maybe put your family pics on the back (instead of other characters) they could charge 50 bucks easy.
