Terrific non-TV Toys: Scrooge McDuck plush from "Mickey's Christmas Carol"

This author was thinking "Mickey's Christmas Carol" first debuted on TV, but when I did a little digging around, I found that the film short was actually first released to theaters in December 1983, then debuted on television a year later. Interesting! It means that the adorable collectible below gets featured on the Terrific non-TV Toys series rather than Terrific TV Toys, but hey, that's neither here nor there!

This plush celebrates Scrooge McDuck, who took on the role he was born for -- Ebeneezer Scrooge -- in Disney's animated adaption of the beloved Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." If you haven't seen the film short, which is just under an hour, you can watch it on the Disney+ app. The trailer is below, as well. 

Merry Christmas from BRBTV!!!!

Terrific TV Toys: Batgirl of DC Super Hero Girls Christmas tree ornament by Hallmark, 2019

Christmas time is here indeed, and we've got a couple Christmas-themed episodes on the collectibles series of BRBTV. (And we even had a Christmas episode last month!) This week, it's the DC Super Hero Girls once again on Terrific TV Toys. This Batgirl was snagged at Walmart a couple years back, part of the more-affordable line of Hallmark Christmas tree ornaments. It was just a few bucks, it's simple in design, but it's all Barbara!
