DuckTales Grand Jester Disney Mini Busts

If you haven’t heard already, Disney’s beloved animated series DuckTales is coming back in a huge way next year with a brand new television show scheduled to air on Disney XD. Not only that, but the series features an all-star cast that includes David Tennant as Scrooge McDuck, Danny Pudi as Huey, Ben Schwartz as Dewey, and Bobby Moynihan as Louie. How awesome does that sound!?!

To commemorate the return of one of the original Disney Afternoon television series, Enesco has released this killer new line of DuckTales Grand Jester Mini Busts! First up is the Uncle Scrooge Grand Jester 8” stone resin mini bust ($69.99), which features the duck sitting atop a treasure chest fill with gold base as Scrooge searches for more treasure with his map and cane.

Then there’s the Hewey, Dewey and Louie Grand Jester Mini Bust Set ($99.99). Each of Uncle Scrooge’s nephews feature a base of shiny gold coins and stands 4.5” tall to be in scale to Uncle Scrooge. Both DuckTales Grand Jester Mini Bust releases can be purchased at Entertainment Earth now here.

McDuck Rich Resin Figure by Chimera Studios

Chimera Studios recently dropped a sick new resin figure entitled McDuck Rich! It’s a 3.75” bootleg custom Scrooge McDuck figure hand cast in clear resin, which contains laser cut gold glitter in its body and real shredded US currency cast in its money bag. How awesome is that!?! It fits perfectly with the iconic Disney character's history.

Each figure comes packaged on a 6”x9” blister card featuring artwork by RenOne! This killer figure retailed for just $20 at the Chimera Studios online store. Unfortunately, it’s now sold out. But hopefully CS will be releasing an uncarded version very soon!

The 2007 Forbes Fictional 15

The Forbes Fictional 15 is back! Thanks to faithful reader Mark for alerting me to its release. The past three years Forbes has complied a list of the richest fictional characters as if they were flesh and blood (they even give a rationale for each character as to how they determined the character’s worth in today’s economic climate).

The characters that make up the list come from all different kinds of fiction, books, television, comics, movies and once even a real life e-mail campaign. The only complaint I have is that former #1, Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks (from Annie), has not only been unseated as the richest fictional character, but he has fallen completely out of the top 15. It must have been a very good year for the other 15 characters comprising this year’s list.

Making his first appearance in the number one spot as richest fictional character is none other than Scrooge McDuck. Rounding out the top 5 is Ming the Merciless (from Flash Gordon), Richie Rich, Mom (from Futurama) and Jed Clampett (from The Beverly Hillbillies). You can read about who rounds out the Forbes Fictional 15 list here.


I’m actually pretty disappointed in this year’s list in that many of the fictional characters I felt deserved to be on the list in years past were taken off for newer characters without a valid reason for their inclusion. After checking out the rest of the 2007 Forbes Fictional 15 take a look at the 2006 Forbes Fictional 15 and the 2005 Forbes Fictional 15 to compare. I’d love to hear thoughts from all of you on fictional characters that should need to be added to the list and which ones should have never been included on the list in the first place. I for one think Lex Luthor (from Superman) should always be ranked in the top 15…but then again what do I know?
