Mickey On the Brain....

So: Most of my readers....if not all: Indeed know that I am, and always will be a Disney Cast Member (Shout Out to ALL MY WDW T-LAND CP's FALL 08-09!!!:) LOVE & MISS U ALL!!!)
::::::
So my "obsession that I hate to admit to" for all that is Disney, is quite clear in this post:......
Around 2am this morning I was roaming around HypeBeast.com & stumbled upon all these Mickey Mouse toys created by several artists.....Shit made me happy & sad...basically feelin a tad bittersweet.
---- Especially since I got the news that I will not be able to go back to the Magic Kingdom for spring break (only cus i'm gonna go to ENGLAND this summer or Christmas!!) . Ne Whos:: I love me some Mickey Mouse & all these little toys reconfirmed that everyone else in the world loves them some Mickey too:)
Enjoy!!!!


The Japanese market has long held an interesting relationship with Disney as many brands have sought out the well-documented animation company for a series of collaborative efforts. JAM HOME MADE & ready made continue with their collection as their latest releases include Mickey & Pete Accessories. Highlights include the Pete necklace which plays up the character’s villain mentality with an exaggerated design of Mickey’s arch-nemesis while the Mickey ring is much more friendly with a dark jewel set as the centerpiece. Wallets are also available in this collection. Available now at JAM HOME MADE & ready made.

Japanese toy company Medicom Toy has teamed up with Disney to create a Mickey Mouse version Bearbrick. Two sizes will be available including the 400% and the much sought after 1000%. The 400% will retail for 6,090 YEN while the 1000% will go for 26,040 YEN. The figures won’t be released until May 2009 but pre-orders are available now if you’re in Japan.





A quick look at artist David Flores’ list of projects with Medicom Toys boasts an impressive array of collaborations including products such as Bearbricks and lifestyle items through Medicom’s Fabrick collection. A recent application of David Flores’ design styles have been applied to this Mickey Mouse vinyl. Available now at Zozotown’s Medicom Toys.


Everyone’s favorite childhood character, Mickey Mouse, gets a makeover in this collaboration between Disney and Roen. Mickey Mouse is designed as a mummy in this new project, and the dolls are only limited to 200 being made. Sales began this past Saturday the 13th, at 12:00 pm. Available at select Medicom Toy Dealers for at a price of 6,090 YEN.


Within Japan, it appears as though Disney approached a series of labels on different projects ranging from apparel to toys and accessories. Fashion label Roen is amongst the few to interpret the iconic Mickey Mouse character in toy form. The large scale figure features a guitar smashing Mickey.



Continuing its recent partnership in conjunction with Medicom Toys and Disney, Japanese fashion brand Roen has released another product featuring the iconic Mickey Mouse character. While the last release included Guitar Mickey, this newest vinyl features VCD Crown Mickey decked out in Roen gear. Available at Cliffedge.
