== Comic Books ==
* The revival of ''Justice League International'' has Godiva, a very minor DC superheroine mostly remembered for being in the [[Global Guardians]], a really minor DC superteam.
 
 
== Film ==
* ''[[Toy Story 3]]'' has the title character from ''[[My Neighbor Totoro]]'' as one of Bonnie's toys. He's visible in a lot of shots but he's also completely voiceless.
* Bio Hunter Silva, a villain introduced late into ''[[Choudenshi Bioman]]'', completely faded into obscurity after the series ended its run. However, around 30 years later, he has recently been added to the roster of a [[Super Sentai]] [[Legion of Doom]] during ''[[Kamen Rider x Super Sentai: The Great Superhero War|Kamen Rider X Super Sentai Super Hero Taisen]]'', and, as the trailers imply, he's going to have a major role as well.
 
 
== Literature ==
* Lots of unexpected characters pop up in the ''[[Warrior Cats]]'' novel ''The Last Hope'', such as Redtail, Raggedstar and Mosskit. But almost nobody was expecting Brambleberry's cameo appearance at the beginning where she is one of the first cats to ever successfully give Jayfeather a lecture.
 
 
== Music ==
* Large-scale tours and festivals are bound to have this. Obviously everyone will know the headlining act, but when an unsigned band makes the line-up, people tend to scratch their heads (especially if they play the main-stage). For instance, Download Fest 2011, main stage with the likes of [[Def Leppard]], [[System of a Down]], [[Linkin Park]] and... The Pretty Reckless?
* Mass-artist compilations fall into this from time to time.
* In a media crossover-example, [[Rhythm GamesGame]]s probably get this sort of reaction when they announce the new setlist for their next title, such as with [[Rock Band]] 3 ("[[The Doors]], [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]], [[Elton John]] and... Phoenix?"<ref>The band's logo was used on the back of the case alongside names like [[Queen]], [[Jimi Hendrix]], [[The Who]] and the [[Ramones]]</ref>).
