The Rare & Valuable Disney Infinity Figures

Phineas from Phineas & Ferb

New Price: $NA | Used Price: $399 | See Current Prices

At San Diego Comic Con in 2013, Disney gave out four of these figures as part of their Disney Infinity promotion at the convention. The figure is hand painted and does work on Disney Infinity games. Only one of these has sold publicly and it sold for almost $400.

Phineas has already been announced as a character in Wave 2. By the end of the year there will be tens of thousands of these figures available. It remains to be seen if this hand painted version from Comic Con will continue to fetch a premium.

Agent P from Phineas & Ferb

New Price: $NA | Used Price: $305 | See Current Prices

Disney also handed out four Agent P figures at Comic Con 2013 along with the Phineas mentioned above.

The seller of the only version that did sell also included a special package with three signatures from voice actors for the show and a t-shirt. These items will help keep the value of this item high because they are limited edition items and will not be included with the figure when it is sold in Wave 2.

Sorceror Mickey from Disney

New Price: $160 | Used Price: $150 | See Current Prices

Sorceror Mickey is another convention figure but this time it was at the D23 convention (D23 is the Disney fan club). 5000 figures were given away at the convention along with special packaging saying the figure was given out at D23.

Sorceror Mickey will be available to the public in early 2014 so prices for the loose figure will plummet when it becomes easy to find at retail stores. But the sealed figures with the special packaging confirming it was from D23 will continue to fetch a premium because only 5000 were made.

Skylanders and Disney Infinity Crossover?

A recently uploaded video to Disney Infinity's official YouTube channel detailing the process of designing the figures, has an interesting little cameo in it. Clearly in view at 2:08 are three Skylander's figures: Spyro, Gill Grunt and Double Trouble! In case you missed it, I took a still of it.

Now before you get too excited, I want to state that I believe a Skylanders and Disney Infinity crossover is NOT going to happen. For one, Disney isn't going to try and work with another title they have been trying to distance themselves from. In a recent interview, they told GamesIndustry International that, "saying Disney Infinity is [imitating] the Skylanders business is not a valid assessment at all."

Another, more practical, reason why there will be no crossover is in the hardware. The bases of the figures are different and Skylanders figures simply won't fit on the Disney Infinity pedestal. Disney Infinity uses circular bases for figures and hexagonal bases for power discs. Skylanders figures have bases of all different shapes and sizes. Here is a comparison.

I know, I was hoping for an amazing crossover but sadly all this video reveals is that Skylanders figures designs heavily influenced the designs of the Disney Infinity's figures. So I hope this quells some of the rumors out there and make sure to follow our regularly updated Skylanders Collector's List and Disney Infinity Collector's List.

About Disney Infinity Game & Figure Collecting

Disney Infinity releases on August 18th for Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii U. It is a video game that brings action figures and games together through the "Infinity Base" a device that transfers the figurine into the virtual world. It is very similar to Skylanders.

Prior to launch there are 26 known figures for the game with many more guaranteed to be released in the months and years after launch.

Skylander's figures became popular collector's items soon after it launched. We will have to wait and see if Disney Infinity characters become rare and collectible too.

Disney Infinity Gameplay

The game premise for Disney Infinity is very similar to Activision's Skylanders series of games. You use physical figures to load characters into the virtual game. For instance, if you have a Sully figure you can play as Sully in the game.

Unlike Skylanders, Disney Infinity allows for the use of "Power Discs", which add vehicles, weapons, and themes to the game as well. You attach these Power Discs to the base of a figure before loading them into the game with the "Infinity Base".

Infinity has two main game play types - platforming and racing. There is also a "Toy Box" mode that allows you to combine characters, pieces, and levels and create your own world to explore and play in.

Disney Infinity Marketing

Disney Infinity copied much from the Skylanders game concept, Disney even mentions Skylanders multiple times on their website when discussing features of the game. Their marketing playbook looks very similar as well.

They have developed an extensive website with videos, screenshots, and details about the game. Disney has started airing commercials on children's TV channels too. They have yet to do major tie-ins with fast food or snack companies, but those are sure to follow.

Disney Infinity Collecting

Activision helped push the collectible nature of Skylander's characters by making chase variants - figures that are harder to get than others. They will often be a different color or made from a different material. This encouraged people to hunt for the figures and try to collect them all.

Disney has not announced any rare variants, but they are using another tactic used for Skylanders figures - waves of characters. Instead of releasing all possible characters at launch, the figures come out in waves. The first wave are the launch characters. Then a few weeks later will be another wave of figures. Followed by more a month or more after that, until all the figures compatible with the game have been released. This keeps interest in the game going because there is always something new coming out.

Disney has tried to keep the character information quite so people don't know which characters will be available and when. The launch characters are all known, but there are already rumors about Waves 2, 3, and beyond. The rumors include a Mickey Mouse figure and figures from the winter 2013 movie Frozen.

Disney Infinity is rumored to be using store exclusives just like Skylanders does. A particular figure might be available only through GameStop, while another can only be found at Wal-Mart.

All of these tools are used by Disney make the characters appear collectible. It remains to be seen if Infinity will be as popular as Skylanders or as collectible, but Disney is taking all the right steps to make it happen.

Infinity does have something Skylanders never did - a huge list of famous characters that everyone already recognizes and loves. Disney has an almost endless supply of characters they could add to the game including Star Wars, Marvel Comics, Pixar cartoons, and Disney cartoons.
