Weirdly, I don't think i've seen any recent merchandise for it. Even the Disney Store just has the old movie.

 

 I wouldn't be against buying a cuddly dragon.

 

"Weirdly" doesn't begin to describe that.  Hm.  I suspect it will change, but I'm surprised it isn't out already.

 

edit, well, there's some but not as much as I expected: http://diskingdom.com/2016/06/20/new-petes-dragon-merchandise-released/

...Not 100% sure what's going on with Elliot's mouth situation there but it's making me chuckle.

Seems to be a better Spielberg movie than an actual Spielberg movie.

Can't wait!

 

Unfortunately due to unprecedented success of local movies, won't be seeing this day and date with the US. The limited screens must be shared.

You may like this one better (from the Disney Store)

Maybe you didn't see them because earlier batches weren't up to quality control...

Much better but I still prefer the one modeled on old Elliot with the pink wings

 

I don't see that in plush, just plastic.  Oh, and the Electric Light Parade float:

Re: the new one, Build a Bear apparently has one.  Or two, if you count this:

Lowery has made a film that appeals simultaneously to kids and adults, but not with simple silliness for the kids and some wry, winking jokes for the grown-ups. Instead, Pete’s Dragon graciously appeals to a deep, shared constant in all of us: it finds, and nourishes, the soul.
