Because the Disney Store is awesome...

[ericadawn16]

Sometimes lately, the Disney Store has been a little lame, we're still disappointed that we can never find Vinylmation anymore outside the outlet mall or actual Disney property...

However, today was pretty awesome. They had some Frozen bath toys that were incredibly Tempting. I'm still not YAY FROZEN but these things were seriously adorable...my mom likened them to Precious Moments...and it included Marshmallow! I just really want a Marshmallow in some form. Then, there was this:



I hope this does this justice because in person, my mom and I were both amazed that it looked JUST LIKE REY! They really had her eyebrows, cheekbones, everything about as perfect as you can get without it being a Hot Toy. Plus, it comes with BB-8. Also, it's INCREDIBLY HEAVY! It's die cast metal but that also means it should be durable and strong. $25 really isn't too bad...

Finn was pretty well done and Poe...well, it's the best Poe likeness I've seen but it still seemed...off.

I'm not sure which if any of you guys know about this, but before blind bags were so popular all over, Disney had blind bags sets of teeney tiny little figures from various Disney brands. It started off as parks only, then Star Wars as seen in Star Tours, then Holiday, then...well, I have a tiny little Norrington somewhere...

and by tiny, I mean that they resemble the Micro Machine figures. Still, this is totally cool and I hope next time we hit up Disney Springs, they have it:



I didn't buy Rey. She's awesome but $25 even for awesomeness...however, I will pay $25 for the multipack with ALMOST everyone:


It's Hasbro so elsewhere might have it a little cheaper than the Toys'r'us the screen capture is from so we'll see.

However, the Disney Store only had one Queen Amidala Tsum Tsum left and she came home with me:


I also got a new Lotso. He's the same sculpt as another one I have but the packaging is the pretty, new 20th anniversary of Toy Story!

I've never done the Marvel Collectors Corp before but look at June!

Squee!!!

I think you saw the blind pack on Twitter...I've figured out that you can identify the characters in the foil packs and he's the only character in that series with bear ears! so he was fairly easy to identify.

My mom the back was simply adorable:

Also, as with Funko, Tsum Tsums are all Lotso's fault because that was the first one I ever got. He was the first premium box I bought in the game, too!

P.S. I'm totally jealous of everything Hong Kong Disneyland has for Lotso!

The pins are too cute!

I didn't see it on Twitter. The blind packs are in the parka only or Disney store?

Actually, I got my blind pack at Hot Topic!

I first learned of it in the Diamond catalog that comic book stores get so they can order stuff.

I've also seen that kind of blind pack, but not that particular series, at Target, Toys'r'us, Spencers, Claires, Books a Million, FYE, Justice and specialty stores that also order from the comic book catalog. The comic book catalog is available for anyone to buy for 4 bucks but I got one free when I started subscribing.

My package doesn't specify a Series number but the Previews catalog also known as the Diamond catalog, called it "Disney Series 6 Laser Cut Figural Keyrings".

Push the figure all the way to the end of the package so it's past the cardboard wrapped around it loosely. You might be able to tell from his having three "legs"; two legs plus cane, but I recommend pushing it until you can feel the head and you can feel whether it has bear ears or not. He and Bing Bong are the only ones where you can even feel ears and obviously, Bing Bong's elephant ears feel completely different Lotso so it's pretty easy to recognize. I found Lotso after my 3rd or 4th pack of feeling for him.

If you have a local comic book store and a spare 4 dollars, the catalog is really fun window shopping. They even have the Disney Jim Shore products.
However, you are free to order directly from the catalog through the comic shop you get it from.

I just got back from Disney a few days ago and I purchased serveral packs of the Toy story collector figures and I think I got everyone but Lotso. grrrr.

Are you talking about these? I didn't know these existed:

Yes. Those are the ones.

Thanks for the warning!

I'll probably pass on buying one if he's that hard to get. I'm still intrigued by the Parks Collection for Episode 7 though...since you get three figures with those.

To be honest I felt around in only one pouch and thought I had him but I was wrong and the other's i picked blindly. 3 pouches bought 2 separate times in different locations
