Rumors have been swirling for quite some time regarding a new Inside Out character named “Bing Bong” and thanks to an unlikely source, we have a sugary-glimpse at the new character. Kellogg’s recently released a set of fruit snacks themed after the upcoming film and featured six flavorful characters: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust, and (the yet-to-be-discussed) Bing Bong.
Until now, we’ve held off on posting about Bing Bong strictly because images of the character were leaked, but now that we have the product in hand we chose to post this initially to start the conversation.
In fact, you can jump right in and start chatting about Bing Bong in the Pixar Post Forum. We even have a few personal theories about the character (who is being labeled as Riley’s imaginary friend), but we’re going to save those for our next podcast (episode 035).
haha was the fanart I did too soon? I saw the plushies of him on sites, so I assumed his image was \”Out there\”
Ha! Yeah, it may have been a bit early technically, but you're right, his image has been \”out there\” for a bit. Your fan art of him is so great, we'd love it you added to the \”Let's Draw Inside Out\” gallery http://forum.pixarpost.com/post/june-1st-to-18th-lets-draw-inside-out-bing-bong-7246304?pid=1285756120#post1285756120
Go ahead :). There's a second one on my tumblr http://williambradfordart.tumblr.com/post/103194735314/williambradfordart-pleaaaasssee-pixar-i-need#disqus_thread
Awesome- glad they finally showed up in your area! I might just cave and get them next time I see them even though I don't like fruit snacks 😉 Brita will eat them! It's just hard to pass up on getting the very first official \”merch\” (ish) for Inside Out, ha!
