A Whimsical First Look From Disney Parks
Disney Parks teased the merchandise line on X, describing it as "a whimsical new collection inspired by Duffy & Friends" bound for Mickey's of Glendale at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Mickey's of Glendale is the shop tied to Walt Disney Imagineering, and it regularly brings exclusive, Imagineer-designed merchandise to Disney's biggest fan gathering. This year's reveal leans into the pastel, plush-friendly aesthetic that has made the Duffy & Friends characters a favorite among collectors.
What's in the Collection
The collection celebrates all seven members of the Duffy & Friends family, with each character represented across a crew neck sweatshirt, a baseball cap, a necklace, and a Mini Big Face Tote Bag. Instead of leaning on bold, oversized artwork, the designs stay understated — a light pastel color palette paired with soft, textured fabrics and small, signature details for each friend, such as a cupcake for CookieAnn and painting tools for Gelatoni.
Embroidered Sleeves and Tote Bag Touches
Some of the collection's charm hides in the fine print. The sweatshirt sleeves carry embroidered questions tied to each character, including "Where will you and Duffy journey next?" and "What will you sing with 'Olu Mel?" — details easy to miss at a glance but rewarding once spotted. The Mini Big Face Tote Bags may prove to be the collection's breakout piece: sized for park essentials, they include loops designed to hold bag charms for guests who like to customize their bags.
Where and When to Find It
The Duffy & Friends collection is set to be exclusive to D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, which runs August 14–16, 2026, at the Anaheim Convention Center and Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Disney has not shared pricing for the collection, and no online or post-event availability has been confirmed — for now, it is positioned as an event-exclusive offering at Mickey's of Glendale.
Why This Matters
Duffy & Friends has grown into one of Disney's most passionately collected franchises, and Mickey's of Glendale's Imagineer-designed drops are among the most sought-after merchandise at any D23 gathering. The restrained, detail-driven styling — embroidered sleeves, character-specific accents, and charm-ready totes — is aimed squarely at longtime fans who prize the small stuff. Guests planning to attend D23 in Anaheim will want it high on their shopping lists, and GenieGrove will update this report as pricing and additional details are confirmed.
