Disney Treasure Planet toy - ID help needed? ETA: FOUND!
« on: August 22, 2015, 08:12:35 AM »
Hi all!

I found this figure in a charity shop today - it's Captain Amelia from Disney's Treasure Planet! She's about 6" tall and she's nicely detailed and jointed. Somehow I don't think the bag was original, it looks like the charity shop wrapped her to stop her falling out of the plastic bubble. I didn't even think to ask if they ever had her box... *facepalm*

I can find no information about her online, I've seen one image with no credit/caption and everything else is McDonalds toys or the weird flat-faced plush toys. Does anyone know anything else about her?

I adore Captain Amelia anyway so I chucked the charity shop a donation on top of the £1.50 (about $3) that she was priced at.

ETA: Found!!!
"One of my favorite characters from one of my favorite Disney films, Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet. This figure was premium given away in the UK when you bought Fairy laundry powder. There was also a Jim, Silver, Ben, and Morph. She is about 7 1/2 inches tall. The trunk and map came from one of the Habro figures"
But I've already removed her bag, so she's not MIP any more. I did keep the bag, however! Apparently she's never seen...

It looks like it's either a meal toy or out of a set. This aren't usually packed that way otherwise.

She's way too big to be a McDonalds meal toy - and the meal toy for this movie is about 4" tall maximum. The bag is from 'Proctor and Gamble' which is a UK cosmetic company - it has nothing to do with the toy, just what she was apparently put into so she could be put out for sale.

I love her!!!! Such a ,underrated movie! :lovey: She lookslike a happy meal toy at first, but looking harder at it she looks like a promotional figure included in a box or something with a product!

OH MY GODS I AM A MORON.

I just found her:  "One of my favorite characters from one of my favorite Disney films, Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet. This figure was premium given away in the UK when you bought Fairy laundry powder. There was also a Jim, Silver, Ben, and Morph. She is about 7 1/2 inches tall. The trunk and map came from one of the Habro figures" from Flickr.

But I've already removed her bag - so I just un-MIP'd her.

FAIL... XD

Yeah.. but that's weird, I've only got that one paragraph to go on. I can't find anything else about her.

Sometimes I get jealous of the things you get across the pond, we don't have nice promotions like this over here in the US.    :jealous: :jealous:

This was in 2003-ish, I haven't seen promotions akin to this since then. That, and the USA gets all the exclusives first because your branches of chain stores are bigger. ;)
