Wreck-It Ralph Merchandise – Wrecking with Heart
The same game for thirty years: Ralph smashes the building, Felix repairs it, the residents cheer – just not for him. With that setup, "Wreck-It Ralph" conquered theaters in 2012 and gave Disney one of the most original animated heroes of the decade: a villain who doesn't want to be one. The film takes its audience behind the screens of an arcade, where game characters live their own lives after closing time, and it earned an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. "Ralph Breaks the Internet" followed in 2018, sending Ralph and Vanellope online. At Elbenwald you'll find officially licensed fan items for both films – no medal required to earn them.
Why Fans Love the Films
Because of the details. The arcade world is packed with cameos from real video game greats: Ralph's villain support group includes Bowser and Street Fighter's Zangief, and in "Ralph Breaks the Internet," Vanellope meets the assembled Disney princesses – a scene that lovingly skewers every cliché of the studio's own house. Add to that the mismatched duo at the center: the big lug with an inferiority complex and the small glitch girl with the big mouth. That these two of all people help each other reach a happy ending gives the films their warm foundation – and gives the fan items their charm somewhere between pixel nostalgia and sugar frosting. Look closely and every shot of the arcade hides another reference – the films generously reward a second and third watch.
Frequently asked questions
What Wreck-It Ralph products does Elbenwald offer?
A rotating selection of officially licensed Disney fan items, currently including Funko collectible figures in arcade style. What's currently available is shown in the overview on this page; details are listed on the product page.
What is Wreck-It Ralph about?
About the arcade villain Ralph, who after thirty years in the game "Fix-It Felix Jr." finally wants to be recognized as a hero. His journey through other games' worlds takes him to the racing game Sugar Rush – and to his first real friendship, with the outsider Vanellope.
Is there a sequel to Wreck-It Ralph?
Yes: "Ralph Breaks the Internet" from 2018. In it, Ralph and Vanellope leave the arcade and head online – including the famous meeting with the Disney princesses.
Range overview
The Funko figures make the start – small enough for any shelf, quite unlike Ralph's fists. The figures section provides the broader frame across all formats, and since the range is compact, it pays to keep an eye on the overview above – new arrivals land there first.
What else goes well with it?
The Disney universe waits right next door: Disney overall, Zootopia and Moana from the same studio era, plus the Disney Princess lineup that Vanellope shook up so memorably. Arcade kinship awaits at Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, Street Fighter, and Super Mario – Bowser sends his regards.
