Universal Character Site: UPDATED MARCH 2016 PG 7

[HLAuburn]

Just got back from Universal.

I met all 6 of the HOP Characters:

Pink Berets - Bit, Fluffy, and Patch
Chicks - Carlos and Phil
E.B.

Additionally, I also visited the KidZone Mardi Pardi to get pictures with the characters in their special Mardi Gras clothing.

I also found some characters outside of areas I usually see them (Marge, Homer, and Beetlejuice).

And found some new UNEXPECTED characters: Bullwinkle and Shrimp Louie.

All of the new pictures are linked from the home page!

Very successful day and it only took 90 minutes!

UOCharacterHunt

Great pictures!

Do you happen to know if SpongeBob is still making appearances in the Nick store now that the Jimmy Neutron ride is closed?

 

[Berlioz70]

Yep - SpongeBob is out daily!

BTW - Dora's okay I guess, but Diego's just trying to get your child mauled by wild animals. "That's right kids, that baby bear is your friend! He needs your help finding his mommy!" Yikes!

My favorite thing about that oft-glossed-over aspect of Diego is the whole "Cool Water for Angela Anaconda" controversy. Basically, it was fine for Diego to hang out with bears and jaguars and Mountain Lions and whatnot. The minute he helps an anaconda, parents start screaming for that one episode to be banned. Uh-huh.

Hello,

I haven't been to US in 10 years, but when we were the we saw the Ghostbusters and they would drive the car and run the siren and get out to meet people. Has anyone seen them recently?

Does Universal sell Autograph/Photo books like Disney does - one page for photo to slide in and the other is for the autograph?
Just curious! Thanks!

Yes...there are many different kinds available at both parks.

Wondering if anyone can confirm who is currently available for meet and greets as of recently? The site from the OP doesn't really list who is still out and about.

Would like to know so we can plan accordingly when we get there later this week. Thanks!

 

[Berlioz70]

Everyone on the site was seen in the last six months. So you have a pretty good chance of seeing most of them.

The only ones that are not regular is Bullwinkle and Minion.

There haven't been any recent updates because there are not any new characters. I do need to get images with the Marvel characters in their new costumes!

The Simpsons have their own little RV that they come out in during the day in Hollywood. The whole gang is usually there (though sometimes one or two of them may be missing). If you're over there and you see characters out, you can ask a character attendant about the scheduled times for the Simpsons as they should have a schedule of some sort.

Beetlejuice and the monsters do meet and greets, but it depends on the number of shows. If they have 3 shows (12:30, 2:30, 4:00), then they will only have a meet and greet after the first show (12:30). After the show ends, you'd just stay seated and they'll make an annoucement that Beetlejuice and the monsters will be out for pictures and autographs in a few minutes. They'll all come out and you'll be able to take pictures with them. If they have only 2 shows (12:30 and 4:00), then they have a meet and greet after the first show, just like it would be when there's 3 shows and then they *usually* have one around 3pm, but that's not always 100% sure, it really just depends on the weather and what-not. The 3pm meet and greet isn't really advertised as much. It's an outside of theater meet and greet too. If there is more than 3 shows, they won't have a meet and greet unless they have to cancel a show (inclement weather, technical difficulties, etc). If anything, it's always good to ask one of the attractions attedants at Beetlejuice and they'll be able to let you know for sure!

Doc Brown meets outside of the Back to the Future train and car. It's over in New York, by Delancey Street where the Blues Brothers do their show. I haven't seen Marty McFly ever, but I never really hang out over there much. Maybe someone else can chime in about him.

 

[Berlioz70]

I also haven't seen Marty personally - but he was out recently. Several of my friends posted photos of him from July.

Ok, so we are on the fence to take a day and go visit US. We went to IOA last year, and loved it, but we aren't sure that US is worth the cost for our family yet... so we are basing the decision on characters! I see alot of info about who has been there, but can someone give me a current list of characters that would be around for photos? Thanks!
We'll be in FL in Nov

 

[Berlioz70]

The website is still current.

Minon and Bullwinkle are the only ones not out regularly.

 

[macraven]

Today I was at the studios and saw solo many of the characters. Wow, it was great!!

While eating at Boulangerie outside at the tables, Marilyn ricky and lucy sat with me.

The man that impersonates Ricky Ricardo is a dead ringer for him....

[englishrose47]

subbing for Characters for next year !!Do these characters sign autographs and pose for pix too!!???

 

[truck1]

Yes. Most of the characters, if not all, will pse and take pics.

 

[Berlioz70]

Finally made it back out to Universal to see more characters. I've posted updated images for the Marvel Costumes (Cyclopes was not out), but have several new images to post throughout the week.

You can follow the Facebook group to know when other additions are made.

I did not see any new characters, just characters in updated costumes and in different locations.

I also stand corrected, I thought the Minons had gone away, but saw one today. Bullwinkle was also out (in the same location so I didn't stop to see him again).

My wife and I saw several minions out a week ago, this past sun. I think Dora and another char were with them in front of the Universal Store.
