{CC} Misfit Toys Traditional Cache

The "Island of Misfit Toys" appears in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and is an island sanctuary where defective and unwanted toys are sent. The island is ruled by King Moonracer. He is responsible for flying around the world each night in search of unwanted toys. He lives in a large castle atop a hill on The Island of Misfit Toys, and acts as a sovereign to the island, deciding who can or cannot stay on the Island, such as Rudolph, Hermey, and Yukon Cornelius.

Charlie-In-The-Box is a misnamed, but otherwise seemingly normal jack-in-the-box who acts as the island's sentry. Spotted Elephant is a polka dotted elephant and also is the island's footman. "A Dolly for Sue" (as she calls herself) is a seemingly normal girl rag doll with red hair and a red gingham dress. Her misfit problem is never explained on the special, but was possibly revealed on NPR's Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me! news quiz show (broadcast December 8, 2007). The show revealed that Rudolph's producer, Arthur Rankin Jr., says Dolly's problem was psychological, caused from being abandoned by her mistress and suffering depression from feeling unloved. Bird Fish is a toy bird who swims instead of flies. A misfit cowboy who rides an ostrich. Trainer, a train with square wheels on its caboose. A toy boat that sinks rather than floats; a squirt gun that shoots grape jelly; an airplane that cannot fly, and "a scooter for Jimmy".

It is during this scene at the Island that marks standard, "The Most Wonderful Day of the Year" is performed by the inhabitants. Toy versions of nearly every character from this show were produced in the 1990s.

Viewers were so taken by these forlorn characters, many complained Santa was not seen fulfilling his promise to include them in his annual delivery. In reaction, a new scene for subsequent rebroadcasts was produced with Santa and Rudolph in the lead, making his first stop at the island to pick up the toys.
