Some more Japanese Disney

Yeah, yeah, lets just ignore the fact that we haven't updated this thing in like a year. FORGET THAT. MOVE PAST IT. Ok, done. Good. Forgotten.

Ok! I just wanted to get these out of the way because we took these pictures a while ago:

This Mickey is made by Medicom, a kickass Japanese toy company. I picked this up on my trip to Japan, but he can now be found on KidRobot...at least he was there, i dunno...I'm too lazy to go check. He's part of the whole "Modern Pets" theme that Disney in Japan has. Yeah, yeah, "why can't we have this crap in America?!" I know. SO FRUSTRATING. This Mickey's pretty big too, probably like 6-7 inches, and vinyl. Gotta love his blue hat, which gives a nice contrast to the typical Mickey colors. Even the box is cool, complete with a great simple/easy to read design. Which makes me wonder: what the hell happened to good box art?!  It died with good toy design, of course! The graphic Mickey drawing and a white background is all you need:

 Holy smokes, who is that miniature beauty next to the box?! That Minnie was given me to me by a friend who got her from a capsule machine in Japan. (Do I have to keep mentioning all this stuff comes from Japan? It should be obvious by now!) Here's a better pic:

Look at how the design is pushed. Her graceful pose, chin up, and her giant exaggerated bow. Nice! I have the paper it came with but I, uh, lost it. It lists the other toys in the series. When I find it, I'll post it.

I think this just about does it for Disney for now. Unless ya want more...??

Why no updates? A friend just brought me a Unico, I guess they are doing the Tezuka characters in the same style. I can send a photo or a scan if anyone wants it. I don't think he is as cute as Minnie though.
