Disney POP Rocketeer

By: Nick

As I've shared in the past, I love the Rocketeer. I have several items associated with this film, but still have not rediscovered where they are hiding!
So, when I saw this Disney POP figure, I had to have it!

My 2014 Hallmark Disney Ornament Selections

By Nick

Back in July I posted a few of the Disney ornaments Hallmark released during their Premier Weekend. There have been a couple of ornament premiers since, so I thought I would share all those I've purchased this year.


We'll start with the main Mouse. I picked up 3 ornaments featuring Mickey, as well as Minnie and Pluto.










I don't have much from the Jungle Book, and I'm a fan of Baloo and the man who gave him his voice, Phil Harris, so an ornament that plays "The Bare Necessities" was for me.



 

If you have followed this blog for awhile, you'll know I'm also a big fan of the film "The Rocketeer," so this was another must have.





Finally, these last 2 ornaments of Olaf and Elsa from Frozen were released in the last couple of months, and immediately sold out at my local Hallmark. In fact, Elsa was a pre-order, and never made it to the shelves!









Did you buy any Disney Hallmark ornaments this year?

Rocketeer Candy

By: Nick

I love the Rocketeer. It's a really underrated movie.


A very short synopsis from IMDB : A young pilot stumbles onto a prototype jetpack that allows him to become a high flying masked hero. If you haven't seen it, it's out on Blu Ray.


When I first started collecting Disneyana in 1991, I started collecting Rocketeer. I have several figures around somewhere, yet to be rediscovered, but this was found by my wife, along with some other assorted Disney goodies, in the attic.


Why did I buy a box of candy, which wasn't opened for 20 years, and then, only to be photographed?




What was I thinking?! I don't have the slightest idea. I hope I got it at a reasonable price. If I had the actual cash in hand for all the stuff that I have in boxes in the attic, basement and garage, I could retire. Ah well, 'tis the curse of the collector.


And what kind of candy is it you may ask? There is no place on either the box or on the candy containers to indicate just what is inside!

So, the answer to the question "what kind of candy is it?" is; it's old candy!
