Despite being announced as part of the merchandise lineup for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2017 at the Magic Kingdom, a line of Hocus Locus Villains Spelltacular merchandise (based on the show that is a staple of the party) was not released at the event.
Some sources claim the items were recalled due to some legal/copyright issue. Whatever the reason may be, the items are not expected to show up at any point unless the issue can somehow be resolved before the end of the Halloween season.
The merchandise was also completely removed from the original Disney Parks Blog post about the merchandise.
This is clearly a knock off of Alexander Henry’s “Ghastlies” fabric line.
Copyright? Does Disney have to get the rights from Disney?
Tom do you have any updates on this issue?
