Tron is one of those things you don't have to like the IP to enjoy the material. If you don't care about the movies, it's still a really great looking aesthetic. It's just cool looking.I'll admit when I first saw the thumbnail on the front page, I thought they were sealing pleather body suits and my brain just spiraled.
Compared to that, these toys seem pretty mild but still, it's weird the level of merchandising they're ratcheting up for an attraction based on an IP I don't think most millennials on down care much about.
Given the nature of the ride, the IP isn't really that important to the experience so I've no doubt the ride will be a hit but I'm wondering who's excited about thesetoysaction figures?
Oh, I completely agree about the aesthetic and the ride, from what I've seen, doesn't need any understanding of the IP to be enjoyed.Tron is one of those things you don't have to like the IP to enjoy the material.

Even as a Tron fan I'm surprised by the amount of merch. I don't think the figures will sell well at all but the identity discs should move fine. Then again, they're only selling one color it seems so that's pretty lame. Most of the clothing probably won't sell well either. The jacket looks nice though.
You think it will take that long?Tron Fans should be sure to check out the Disney Character Warehouse locations at the Premier Outlet and Premium Outlet Malls in 2024.
Poor Space Mountain will exit into all Tron merch lol
Photos from inside Tomorrowland Launch Depot and merch that will be available -
Funny enough, I got a really cool 60's modern-retro style Micky and Minnie character for Space Mountain a couple years back.*"Hmm... we can't sell Magic Bands, phone cases, plush, generic park t-shirts, and dozens of other things not really related to Space Mountain at the exit, what else could we try to sell there instead?"
Honestly. Make some cool Space Mountain t-shirts. I bet they'd all have some retro vibe since that's the only thing Disney seems to be able to produce these days, just avoid the horrible 70's color schemes. But the chances of that happening are slim to none, and slim just left.
Remember when the media used to focus on celebrating the ride not the merchandise...?
You think it will take that long?
Seeing this huge merchandise push just reminds me of how tremendously dull both Tron films are.
If they needed to revive a box office disappointment from the vault, why couldn’t it have been The Rocketeer? Or Dick Tracy?
Too.......Wonder how expensive the Identity Program experience will be.
Are you really implying The Rocketeer isn't dull? Really?Seeing this huge merchandise push just reminds me of how tremendously dull both Tron films are.
