"For the D23 Expo exclusives, the team decided to feature Disney characters you wouldn't normally see on Disney merchandise and didn't necessarily have a place in other Vinylmation series," explained Thomas. "Eric picked Butch, Casey did black and white Davey Crockett and I chose Gladstone Gander. I thought Glandstone would be a fun and lucky addition to your Vinylmation collection. It is a salute the great Carl Barks' duck comics." 

Gladstone made his debut in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories No. 88 in January 1948. He was a cousin of Donald Duck and, as Thomas mentiones, was extremely lucky.
