Grumpy Collectible Figure

.
By Nick
While I've titled this post “Grumpy Collectible Figure” let’s face facts, this is a doll.

.

Not sure of the year of release on this, but as it’s got “The Walt Disney Company” on it, it’s post 1986.

.

This, action figure, (okay, it’s a doll!), is 6.5 inches high, fully jointed, and made in China.

.

Just for you, I took it out of the box. But I won’t take it off it’s card! Sorry.

.

Let’s look at that booklet.





.

Now, the front of the box says “Cumberland Toys”. Yet this books says “Bikin”. Not sure why.














I’m not sure where I got this. It’s a riddle wrapped in an enigma, all in a nice box.

Maleficent Merchandise at the Disney Store

By Nick

My wife and I stopped by our local Disney Store a couple of days ago to see what was new and to say hi to some of the wonderful Cast Members we've made friends with there.
As expected, we found merchandise for Maleficent, which was released by Disney yesterday.

Mugs are $12.95, there's a journal for $16.95, t-shirts and a tunic range in price from $12.95-$39.95.  There's also a Lithograph Set which is a limited edition of 3000 for $29.95.

The hottest sellers, however, are the dolls, which are $34.95.

Aurora:

Maleficent was sold out, this was on hold for another guest.

Maleficent merchandise can also be found at the DisneyStore.com

Brave Little Tailor Musical Figures

Brave Little Tailor Tuesdays!My favorite Mickey Mouse cartoon is "The Brave Little Tailor". Released in 1938, this was one of the last of the old, and in my opinion, best, style Mickey cartoons, before his retooling for "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." To me, this is Mickey's finest hour. If you haven't seen it, it can be found on the Walt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color DVD set.  I have quite a few Mickey as The Brave Little Tailor collectibles and over the next few months, I will share them every Tuesday. I picked these 2 musical figures up while working at a Disney Store in the mid 90's.

  Mickey didn't battle the giant for fame or fortune, he did it for the hand of Princess Minnie. 

 

Wind her up and Minnie plays "Someday My Prince Will Come."

The killer of seven with one blow, Tailor Mickey. 

Mickey plays "When You Wish Upon a Star."

 
Please stop back next Tuesday for more Brave Little Tailor!
