For trading purposes, what are the most popular characters to look for? I know at one trading event, someone told me Figment, Tinkerbell and ChipnDale. Is that correct? Are there others?
As the saying goes, different strokes for different folks. Yes Chip and Dale are very popular, especially with the traders in Japan. Some do Walt or Mickey or both. Tink is also very popular. Then there are the Stitch fanatics and the monorail collectors. Personally, I'm in the Figment camp. But I also do Maleficent, who's popular and Chernabog, again popular, both of which fall into the Villains collectors. It's hard to guess what others want, so the best advice is buy what you like.
what daber said, it really depends on the person. Everyone has different choices for different reasons. I collect Tink because I love Tink, I collect Pocahontas because she's harder to find, I also collect Jessica Rabbit, Megara, Maleficent, Pirates (but only certain pirates) Aurora (preferably in her blue dress) Jack & Sally from NBC, and miniature pins. DBF collects Alice and glow in the dark, the girls collect whatever they like. LOL So really, it's all subjective.
