2025 Topps Disney Wonder Card #145 - Ulf from Tangled: The Silent Scene-Stealer Gets His Card!
Oh Hey There, Fellow Disney Card Lovers!
You know that feeling when you flip through a fresh pack of Disney trading cards and pull a character who you absolutely adore but almost never see get any spotlight? That is the purest collector joy there is, and today I am celebrating exactly that. Friends, I want to talk about one of my favorite unsung heroes of the entire 2025 Topps Disney Wonder set - card #145, featuring none other than Ulf from Tangled. Yes, THAT Ulf. The mime. The Snuggly Duckling thug who is quietly the most expressive character in the room without ever saying a single word. I am so here for it. ✨
Meet Card #145 - Ulf from Tangled
Card #145 - Ulf is part of the Base Set Tier 2 collection within the 2025 Topps Disney Wonder release. If you are not yet familiar with the tiered structure of this gorgeous set, here is the quick breakdown: Tier 1 covers the main heroes, heroines, and villains from the Disney animated classics (cards 1-100), while Tier 2 (cards 101-150) is where the real character depth lives. These are the supporting cast members, the sidekicks, the scene-stealers - and honestly, this tier is where so many of the most fun cards in the entire set can be found.
Ulf is one of the beloved thugs from the Snuggly Duckling tavern in Tangled - that rowdy, warm, and surprisingly sweet band of rough-looking characters who all turn out to have big, beautiful hidden dreams. Ulf is the mime of the group, communicating entirely through silent pantomime, and he pulls it off with so much personality and heart that every single time he appears on screen, I am grinning from ear to ear. The 2025 Topps Disney Wonder art style - which Topps describes as an illustrated, whimsical, and painterly approach - is absolutely perfect for bringing Ulf to life. The storybook aesthetic of this set captures the theatrical charm of his character beautifully, and holding this card just feels like a tiny window into one of the warmest corners of Tangled.
Every character has a dream worth chasing - even the ones who say it without a single word. That is the magic of Ulf, and that is the magic of collecting these cards.
Tangled Has a Wonderful Presence in the 2025 Disney Wonder Set
One of the things I love most about 2025 Topps Disney Wonder is how generously it represents the full world of Tangled. If you are chasing the complete Tangled collection within this set, you have some truly delightful cards to hunt for. In Tier 1, you will find card #74 - Rapunzel herself, card #75 - Mother Gothel with all that chilling maternal manipulation energy, and card #76 - Flynn Rider, who honestly deserves a whole insert set to himself. The painterly art style makes Rapunzel especially stunning - I can just imagine how her golden hair glows in the illustrated design.
Then in Tier 2, right alongside Ulf, you will also find card #144 - Vladimir, another one of the Snuggly Duckling thugs who dreams of collecting ceramic unicorns. I genuinely love that Topps chose to include both Vladimir AND Ulf in the Tier 2 lineup. It speaks to how thoughtfully this checklist was built. These two characters together make for a really charming pair to display side by side, and I already have them both on my want list in Collectiblz to track my progress toward a full Tangled run.
The 2025 Topps Disney Wonder Base Set - A Collector's Dream
For anyone just getting into the 2025 Topps Disney Wonder release, I want to paint the full picture of how wonderful this set really is. The base set spans 190 cards total across a tiered structure featuring Tier 1 (100 cards), Tier 2 (50 cards), Cartoon Princesses, Live Action Princesses, Cartoon Villains, and Live Action Villains. It is one of the most comprehensively designed Disney trading card checklists I have seen, and the illustrated art style gives it a timeless, storybook quality that feels distinct from anything else in the Topps Disney lineup right now.
Beyond the base set, 2025 Topps Disney Wonder is packed with incredible things to chase. The Tapestries inserts feature gorgeous original artwork in a tapestry-style design. The Furry Friends insert set celebrates adorable sidekicks and companions. The Castles, Cottages, and Casas insert highlights iconic Disney homes and dwellings. The Greeting's From... cards take you on a postcard-style tour of Disney locations. And there is a dedicated Cinderella 75th Anniversary insert set that is an absolute must for princess collectors. Plus Enchanted Autographs and hand-drawn Sketch Cards round out the premium hits for those chasing the most special pulls.
Collector Notes and Display Ideas
For set builders, card #145 - Ulf is a standard Base Set Tier 2 card, which means it falls into the base rarity tier - fully achievable through pack opening but absolutely necessary for completing your Tier 2 run. Character collectors who love Tangled will want to prioritize tracking down the full Tangled crew across both Tier 1 and Tier 2. And for anyone who just loves celebrating the unexpected, underappreciated Disney characters, this card is a total gem.
When it comes to displaying Ulf alongside the rest of your Tangled cards, I love using an Ultra Pro Hinged Card Holder for single-card spotlight display on my desk. The Tangled cards have such a painterly warmth to the art that framing them individually really lets that illustrated style shine. For organizing the full Tier 2 run alongside other base cards, I keep everything sleeved and sorted in an Ultra Pro Snap Card Frame for my favorites - it is clean, easy, and keeps everything looking gorgeous while still accessible for trading or photographing.
I remember the first time I saw Tangled in theaters - the lantern scene made me completely teary, and every time I visit Walt Disney World and see the Tangled-themed restrooms near Fantasyland (yes, I notice all of it), I think about how deeply that film settled into my heart. Getting a card of Ulf, this quiet, expressive, totally loveable background character, just feels like such a perfect collector moment. If you are marking your 2025 Topps Disney Wonder checklist in the Collectiblz app, do not forget to drop card #145 onto your Need list - it is worth the chase, and the full Tangled run across this set is genuinely one of the best storytelling lineups in the entire checklist.
Happy collecting, and may every pack be full of wonder! 🎴🏰
