Mickey, Donald and Goofy may be the figurative tent poles for Disney, but I could not take my eyes off ESPN's line of bean bag players, sold exclusively at the Disney Store and ESPN - The Store in the late '90s.
The set consisted of generic athletes dressed in a generic ESPN uniform for each respective sport. The best description for the athletes would be a taller, leaner version of Ziggy with no eyes and bountifully fuzzy hair that responds well to static electricity. Apparently, having no eyesight and a large nose was all it took to succeed in ESPN's plush universe.
