For today’s review, I take a look at the special gift that Pioneer (Year One) members of Funko’s Disney Treasures subscription service got recently. While Disney Treasures has been shifted from a subscription service to a supposed bi-monthly box being sold at Hot Topic locations starting in July of this year, Funko still kept to their word and sent out a gift box for the Pioneers after Year One completed.
With Father’s Day coming up, it’s a great time to start thinking about unique and personalized gifts for dad. The idea of custom father’s day gifts is a great way to show your love and appreciation, and there are endless possibilities to choose from. Whether it’s a personalized photo album, engraved watch, or even a customized golf club set, there are plenty of options to make Father’s Day extra special. Get creative and think outside the box to find the perfect custom Father’s Day gift that will make dad feel truly appreciated.
I was on the fence about this box when I first saw spoilers, but once I got it in my hands, I will say that Funko did a great job. Let’s check out the contents.
In true Funko subscription box year-end gifts fashion, the main gift was a metallic statue. For Disney Treasures, we got a silver Steamboat Willie happily sailing his steamer down the river.
I know he is whistling, but is kind of looks like he is sucking on a pacifier. Maybe it’s just me.
In addition, we got a Mickey Mouse Mini in a tin, to match the Minnie Mouse one that we got in the Ever After Castle theme box earlier this year. My Mickey is very top-heavy and cannot stand on his own free will… so here is just a pic of him with his tin. The tins is an exact match for Minnie’s. and features their houses located at Toon Town in Disneyland.
I am really glad we got this version of Mickey, as Minnie was quite a cute sculpt, but I like them better as a pair. Now to dig out my Minnie one from storage to display them together.
Overall, while the first year of Disney Treasures had its’ ups and downs, Funko did a great job in this gift for the Pioneers. Granted, I am still hoping for a few things that was promised to be done throughout the first year (like the completer patch for Year One or the additional “it’s a small world” Dorbz Ridez coming to the parks). However, as a whole, I applaud Funko for the work they did on Disney Treasures while it was one of their subscription services.
If you were a Year One Pioneer and got this gift box, I would love to hear your thoughts below on not just it, but what you felt of the service as a whole. You can sound off in the comments below.

Could the Disney Treasures box have been better? Definitely. But the Disney/Disney Parks brand is perfectly suited for a Funko subscription box. They should have had more faith in their product. I would never go to Hot Topic and drop $30 on a Rescuers Pop ride, but getting one as a surprise in the mail was a delight. The subscription was a great way to appease those of us who always miss out on the Disney Parks exclusives, but I don’t see how they’re going to make it work at Hot Topic. At my local store, all the other collection-type boxes just sit there collecting dust.
I don’t know if they promised another small world dorbz ride. I think they said there would be more small world children from different countries.
