I think this is the first time I showed off fanart on Reddit.

“Get ready to go commando” - Lanky Woody

Found this on Pinterest, I can't find the original artist or source but I'm guessing this is late 2000s.

I hope you like it! :)

Too often I think about what this show could’ve been and then I get sad we were so close to having another Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat or Ralph Bakshi Mighty Mouse or even something like the Casper series also on Fox Kids which was pretty good.

These infos were taken from the press kit of the show

I forgot who i found the post on Instagram it from so i forgot to give credits, it was a comic collector, the panels are kinda blurry, but its better than nothing huh

Most of these didn’t get made and the last picture is a pamphlet from the actual line up of toys they went with. There’s also concept art for a Woody and Winnie toy along with a Smedley and Chilly Willy one too (both with proto-designs) but I unfortunately can’t find those photos for the life of me right now.

The first ten photos are from Toy Network’s Woody Woodpecker plush line which apparently lasted from 1999-2004. Despite a lot of their Woody plushies looking pretty terrible, they’ve probably done the most variants out of any other company I know of. They’re also one of the only companies to have made merch of the other Lantz characters (and in their 1997 designs no less!). I have no idea how many other variants or characters they could’ve made, so this is just all I’ve been able to find so far.

It seems Winnie got the most merch, she has multiple plushies and a figure from USJ and even the American Universal parks got some stuff in form of this pencil topper and snow globe, which I am happy to own both ;)
She’s also in this small ornament set too.

And finally there’s this really neat Fève set, these tiny porcelain figurines from France. It gives us figures of nearly the entire Lantz gang (this also being the only merch most of these characters even have in general).

Seriously, I'm curious now

The short that had Woody dress in drag, or as I like to call him "Clementine Woody".

I think they were good friends anyway.

I like to imagine whoever drew this had a good laugh after saying their handiwork
