Update: OK, so John Vignocchi has confirmed that Sam Flynn & Quorra are the 2 final Disney Infinity characters for 2.0. However, when I (and several others) asked him “If the Tron figures are going to be digital releases only, he danced around the question with an indirect answer. To me this suggests that Sam Flynn & Quorra will be coming as physical characters in Disney Infinity 3.0.

The question is though, why would they delay the physical figures for so long – thinking out loud here, perhaps it’s because of the length of time it takes to go from planning > development for the actual physical figures, from plastic mould stage 1 to plastic mould finished piece. I do recall JV saying in an interview (can’t remember which) that it takes a considerably long amount of time to actually go from the planning stage to actual development stage for each of the physical figures so this could be why. Another thought is that Disney Interactive want to gauge the demand for Tron related figures and will use the digital release as a business case for the development of physical figures.

All in all, there isn’t much we can do about it except to be patient and hope that Disney Interactive develop physical figures in the future.

Epic news has just hit the web and well it’s not all good.

So, several weeks ago there was a sneak peak of Disney Infinity’s Sam Flynn & Quorra due to a mistake by Disney Interactive – see here. Since then, everyone has been awaiting “the big Disney Infinity Tron announcement” which seems to have rather subtly made it’s way on to the web via Kotaku.

Sam Flynn & Quorra iOS & PC exclusive?

We are still trying to put together the peices of information we have received, but so far it seems (mainly based on Kotaku’s article) that Disney Interactive have decided to launch Disney Infinity Tron exclusively through iOS today…and to only be available digitally.

“The iOS version of Disney Infinity has always attracted our largest audience, so we wanted to do something special to celebrate its launch. I can’t think of a more appropriate digital exclusive than Sam Flynn and Quorra from Tron,” John Vignocchi, Vice President of Production for Disney Infinity.

We always thought that as a marketing campaign a digital release of Tron would be ideal, but we never thought that Disney Interactive would stop there and not even consider the millions of players who use Xbox, Nintendo or Playstation consoles, let alone those who really would of loved to have a physical figure of both Sam Flynn & Quorra.

OK, so what now?

Wait, there is going to be an announcement today (5th February 2015) made by Disney Interactive so we are hoping that this will shed some light on whether or not Disney Infinity will include physical characters of Sam Flynn & Quorra.

My opinion is that they will initially release them as digital versions then perhaps in April or May they will release them as physical versions, but hey what do I know!
