Daily Fig: Scrooge McDuck and bonus Epic Mickey ramblings.
March 1st, 2010 | by GeoffSOkay, you know who this one is. It’s Scrooge McDuck or, as his grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie refer to him, Uncle Scrooge. This was one of my favorite characters growing up from the show DuckTales, but he has a whole lot more history than that.
While Uncle Scrooge is unlikely to be a character in Epic Mickey, since they are aiming for more obscure long forgotten characters from the depths of Disney’s vault, but I really can’t help but think about the game when I see old characters like this. To be honest I am somewhat concerned about that project. Don’t get me wrong, I really think they have the opportunity to create something so brilliant with those assets, but with it currently relegated to Wii exclusivity and the difficulties 3rd parties face on that system, my concerns are more than likely warranted. Here’s hoping we see it shed that exclusivity before it’s show time.
Late night ramblings aside, this fig was featured in a pre-order roundup on Tomopop and they have a few more items that you may fancy. So go give it a look over.
