Revision as of 14:15, 25 November 2014
Disney Wikkeez are small collectible figurines (each about 1" to 1.4" in size) in stylized likenesses of a wide array of Disney owned characters, distributed by PPI Worldwide Group, the makers of Gogo's Crazy Bones (similar figurines that became a popular fad during the 1990s and 2000s). They were first released in 2014.
The series was first distributed in Israel under the name Disney Gogo's Crazy Bones; they were given away as promos for Strauss Brand, Dany Chocolate Pudding and Yogurt. Following this test run, the figurines were renamed Disney Wikkeez and subsequently sold in the UK and Germany. In the latter country, marketability was tested with blind bags of 30 select characters given out as promos at Rewe grocery stores during the 2014 Christmas season. The Rewe chain also offered collector's bags, collector's boxes and board games for the toys.[1]
