Sony has revealed a swath of details regarding the release of LittleBigPlanet 2 on November 16, including exclusive pre-order bonus characters (some of which include famed Disney characters) as well as the items that will ship with the game’s Collector’s Edition.

Shown above are some the many free Sackboy skins that will be provided to pre-ordering customers who decide to put money down on LittleBigPlanet 2 before its release in a little under four months. Customers who reserve the game from Best Buy will get to dress their characters up in a suit inspired by the aliens in the Toy Story trilogy, while GameStop customers will get to adorn their Sackboy in a neon-colored Tron getup. These two characters are only the beginning of the Disney invasion of LittleBigPlanet 2, as additional DLC will provide even more opportunities to dress up in the digs of famous movie characters, including Gonzo from the Muppets. LittleBigPlanet 2 will still spread the love amongst the gaming industry too, as Amazon’s pre-order will outfit players with Ratchet & Clank outfits for their Sackboys.

If you’re having trouble selecting just one of the pre-order bonus characters, you might want to invest in the Collector’s Edition of LittleBigPlanet 2, which will include free downloads for all of the aforementioned characters, as well as two additional exclusive costumes for the (other) famous PlayStation duo, Jak & Daxter. Additionally, the $80 Collector’s Edition will come with a miniature plush Sackboy and LittleBigPlanet 2-themed bookends to fit your PlayStation 3 games within.

LittleBigPlanet fans–which of the pre-order bonuses appeal to you the most? Are you considering eschewing a particular retailer to get the motherlode of content in the Collector’s Edition?
