Happy New Year... Stay Safe!

[Annette_VA]

Those are...interesting

[DisneyKevin]

These are everywhere in every Art of Disney.

They are limited editions and there are bigger versions for $39.99.

They also have posters. I understand that there are currently three and they "supposedly" are printed in much lower numbers than the figurines.

Gotta tell you....I dont get it.

I've seen the bigger version in person and they are vinyl Mickey dolls, nothing more.

In my humble opinion....they are butt ugly.

[Geef]

here's another link to them...

I want 20, please. NOT!


I'd rather collect Pez dispensers. At least they're not the same mold with different paint.

[LMO429]

they look like wibble wobble from when I was a kid forever ago....the kermit one is pretty funny

[rtobe]

Kermit is cute but I'm with Kevin, I don't get it...

[Becx N Gav]

Awwww, these are cute :goodvibes

They remind me of the Cows on Parade and some rubber duckies I have!

I agree they're pretty useless but I'm a sucker for things like that :rolleyes1

However I must stick to one collection at a time :headache: and I have lots of space to fill in my pin collection bag........

[Tink rules]

really cheap on ebay next month...

really cheap on ebay next month...

just the opposite. i saw someone sell 12 of them (half of a box) on ebay for $300. a box of 24 costs $250.
i bought a set and got them signed by the artists who painted them. at the Art of Disney they had pictures of what the next 2 editions will look like. some look really neat. the only ones out of this set that i like are the kermit, sorcerer mickey, and yeti.

[BRobson]

Slap limited edition on something and it will sell :lmao:

[LilGMom]

They look like either bath toys or Happy Meal toys.

[doctorhead]

we couldn't get out of the Art of Disney at DTD without being mobbed by people trying to trade for some of our figures. If you buy them separately, you don't know what you're buying. The only way to be sure you get what you want is to buy the whole set. Needless to say, as soon as we bought the whole set, people were trying to get the Kermit and Sorcerer Mickey figures. We eventually traded one little kid a Kermit mickey just to get him to leave us alone.

[dpuck1998]

Okay, don't flame me, but I think they look like what might happen if Crocs made mickey toys! :scared1: :scared1:

[UrsulasShadow]

LOL! All they need are holes!


Get me the shotgun.....

[cocowum]

Agreed. :thumbsup2

Don, do you wear crocs? I've been trying to get Paul to wear em. :rolleyes1

[mdhkitten]

We saw these last week at the Art of Disney and I have to agree with the above posters that say they're weird/strange. I think they're just plain scary!! :scared1:

[Xanthe]

I think I'm in the minority but I really like those! Can anyone tell me how much the 24 set cost??

thanks
Xanthe

They are interesting. Most here may not like them, but I bet in a month, every collector will want these and prices will soar on ebay.

Aren't there pins with the same shape? :confused3 Now I understand the pins a little better.

Maybe if they were not vinyl they would be more interesting. I can just see my cat now getting a hold of one and sharpening her claws on them. No more Mickey vinyl statue thing. :laughing:

[dpuck1998]

Don, do you wear crocs? I've been trying to get Paul to wear em. :rolleyes1

Umm...NO!! RESIST PAUL!! FIGHT THE POWER!!


(psss...I have some croc flip flops, that don't at all like regular crocs however)

Yes, just like beanie babies- dont get it, at least beanie babies were cute.
Can say I will NOT be using my reward dollars on these.
In a year you wont be able to unload them on ebay. I agree, put limited edition on something and people act crazy :confused3

[Tink rules]

108 of them on Ebay from $8.99 to $24.99 each...

[doctorhead]

They are interesting. Most here may not like them, but I bet in a month, every collector will want these and prices will soar on ebay.

that's why i bought a second case to keep til March when this series (Parks #1) is discontinued and the second series (Urban) becomes available.

[DisneyKevin]

I have about 6 gazillion limited edition pins under the bed if your interested.

If....and thats a big if....if this catches on.....it will be hot for a short while and then Disney will flood the market, raise the edition size, sell them in virtually every single location with a cash register and then they will be worthless.

And then you too can have some Disney under your bed.

[drakethib]

Geeze.

Another weak attempt at peoples wallet. :(

[Iggipolka]

Wow...so, I guess this is an example of one person's trash being another person's treasure.

Not something I'd want to spend any $ on, that's for sure.

[doctorhead]

the smart thing disney does with these is that they won't let you know what you're buying. it's like those packs of hidden mickey pins with 2 pins for $10. and you're supposed to collect all 4 plus the extra completer pin. disney is very good at getting people to shell out their money.

[*NikkiBell*]

I dunno how I entirely feel just yet. I think one of two of them are "semi-cute," but the others are just butt ugly. I'm curious to see where those goes.

I'm very into pin trading. I do it for fun not necessarily to seek out the pins worth the most. I really enjoying collecting the pins as a hobby. I'm wondering if this is going to grow big like pin collecting has.

BTW...I saw pin versions of these designs online a few weeks back. Even those were hideous! lol

[SamSam]

:confused3 Why would anyone want these! :confused3
Guess they're just not my cup of tea.
