Limits on Duffy the Bear Merchandise


Recommended Posts

Apparently little Duffy is more popular than we thought!

Starting May 6th, all Duffy products will be limited to the purchase of 5 of the same item (same SKU) at any given time. this includes Duffy plush, costumes, accessories and other Duffy souvenirs.

The limit is effective across all Disney merchandise locations, including international and online. The only exception is Tokyo Disneyland which already has a purchasing limit of 3 of the same items per purchase.

Trying to use the limit to make people think it is more popular than it is?

I wondered that myself.

Or maybe they've already pulled the plug on manufacturing Duffy merch and they're trying to make what they have left last until they come up with the "next big thing" to separate suckers Guests from their money.

Gotta love a good conspiracy theory on a Friday morning. :rofl2:

Bobby did it as a personal favor to me. I have been known to buy impulsively after lunch at the Biergarten. I don't know exactly what impairs my judgement. It must be the kraut.

Well just in time for the new limits on Duffy Merch, the Disney Parks blog announced this...

New Duffy the Disney Bear Items Celebrate Moms and More at Walt Disney World Resort

I recently showcased a variety of new Duffy the Disney Bear items with media visiting the Walt Disney World Resort. I thought you would like to see a sampling of these new items including one that was created especially for moms.

For the first time, we will offer a pre-dressed 17-inch Duffy the Disney Bear wearing a tee-shirt filled with love for Mother’s Day (to my mom who is reading this article – I love you!). Starting Sunday, May 6, bears with shirts will be found at the following Walt Disney World Resort locations – Disney Trader’s at Epcot, Emporium at Magic Kingdom and World of Disney at Downtown Disney Marketplace. This concept is something new we are testing, so there are limited quantities of the pre-dressed bears available. Retail for this item will be $30.00 (plus tax).

We have carried, however, a variety of 12-inch, pre-dressed bears for years. There was a bear recently released at Disneyland Resort Paris in early April to commemorate their 20th Anniversary. For the graduate in your family, we are releasing a new 2012 graduation bear complete with cap and gown. And coming this summer to Disneyland Resort, there will be a new 12-inch bear for Disney California Adventure park.

Besides the plush bears, we will be releasing several new pins in the coming months. One pin has Duffy driving an Autopia car from the “Gear Up For Adventure” collection at Disneyland Resort (my fellow author Michelle Harker first told you about these collection in February. Both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort will see two different collections of new Hidden Mickey pins coming this summer that have Duffy sporting a variety of hats. In November, the Walt Disney World Resort limited edition Pin Trading Nights pin will also feature Duffy.

Finally, I’m excited to announce that coming in July we will release the two unique Vinylmation figures of Duffy. Both open edition figures were designed by Monty Maldovan who has designed a variety of costumes for Duffy in recent years. There will be two figures – one in a sailor suit and the other with flocking – that will be presented in decorative open window boxes.
