Hmm...in addition to my above analysis, assuming that John just meant more Princesses are coming in future editions, these I can see as NON-Princess options. The list is far shorter, however.
Quasimodo-Esmeralda
Alice-Mad Hatter
Bernard-Bianca
Milo-Kida
WALL-E-Eve
Felix-Calhoun
And even here, some of these are stretches. I tried to eliminate some of the ones that would outright not work (Simba and Nala, for example). The issue here is that a few of the non-princess examples are kind of obscure. Atlantis: The Lost Empire, for example, would be lucky to get one figure, so the chances of both Milo AND Kida happening are quite slim. Bernard and Bianca may work, but you'd wonder what they could do to differentiate themselves. Plus, The Rescuers isn't as popular of a franchise as it used to be. In addition, if EVE were going to be playable, why make her an important NPC role as the Forest Builder? Assuming they don't pull a Yondu, she seems unlikely at this point.
Felix and Calhoun depend solely on if they want to retroactively give Ralph a playset. Both characters fit the game very well. No huge qualms here.
Quasimodo and Esmeralda are...odd. Popular due to being part of the Renaissance, though arguably their film was among the least popular of those in the Renaissance (a shame, really. It's my favorite.
). Both would fit well in Infinity though. And we haven't seen any Hunchback content. Maybe they're hiding it until these two release? Though it'd make more sense for them to be a 2016 release, to coincide with Hunchback's 20th Anniversary.
Alice and the Mad Hatter have much less standing in their way though. Their movie has outright eternal popularity, both are extremely popular (especially at the Parks!), and they have recent movies, as well. I just hope they go with the Animated 1951 versions. These two seem like a good pick.
So combined with the above, I'm almost willing to bet my life that the two figures will be one of:
Belle-Beast
Alice-Mad Hatter
Tiana-Facilier
Snow White-Dopey
Felix-Calhoun
Quasimodo-Esmeralda
With a WALLE - EVE as an outside shot in case they pull a Yondu.
Just what I think. Kinda weird how this news outright disconfirmed a lot of characters (including three of my Top 5: Merlin, Baloo, and Pooh
)
