Disney Christmas Snowglobes spotted at Target

Velvet was kind enough to send along these photos she took at a Target Store. I stopped at my local Target Suprstore today and they didn't have them out yet so I have no info other then what can be determined by the looking at the photographs.
Time to start making the rounds to the department stores again. Tis the season.
By the way, I did stop at a wal-mart recently and they had some Disney stuff out but no snowglobes yet at that time. They were using the same licenses as last year: Cars, Princess, Tink, Pooh & Mickey. Didn't see any sign of H. Montana but considering all the stuff that was left last year that's not surprising. The designs on the stuff that was there were very nice. I especially liked the gift tags.

Fantasmic cel

This cel created in celebration of Fantasmic will be on sale December 12th at the Disney Hollywod Studios. Limited to 1500 cels in 5 different price versions ranging from $125 to $290. 750 of the framed versions will come with the limited edition pin.

By the way, for those of us who can't afford the real thing, the images of these cels make great desktops for your computer.

INFORMATION PLEASE

UPDATE: Turns out these are not snowglobes at all but playsets. The domes come off and the water is just in a shell much like the children's glasses that have liquid in them with glitter or toys.

I found these pics on ebay and don't know anything about them other then they are approximately 17 cm tall, the seller lives in Australia and they appear to be part of a series. Can anyone provide more info for the guide?

Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter doll

Here's a peek via Sideshow Collectibles at a Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter doll that will be available in the 2nd quarter of 2010. Manufacted by Medicom Toys this highly articulated doll will be extremely poseable and is described as being capable of nearly any pose that a human body can achieve. Sideshow is taking pre-orders of the 12 inch doll at $199.99. Yikes! Definitely not an action figure you would want to let the kids play with.

Mr Toad gets a snowglobe! Finally!

Here's a sneak peek at a gorgeous snow globe that should be a must have for every Disney theme park fan. This looks fantastic.

Surprise Disney Pin Release

This LE 500 pin of Tinker Bell at California Adventure was a surprise pin release today. Wish they did more suprise releases. Heck, I wish they were all surprise releases. I think knowing everything that is coming takes some of the fun out of it.

New Disney Snowglobes

The following Disney snowglobes have appeared on DisneyStore.com. It's hard to know which globes will be in a physical Disney Store but if you have access to one I would reccomend trying to buy these at the store because of the price difference that was discovered on the Little Mermaid globe that DisneyStore.com refused to honor.

The Cars snowglobe is a nice surprise since we didn't have a sneak peek for it

DisneyStore UK gets a new look

DisneyStore.co.uk has gotten a makeover to make it look and act like the US version. Here's some new snowglobes that have been added into their mix.

Not a bad assortment but I do wish they would stop using the same characters year after year. I wouldn't mind seeing a jumbo pin of the gathered duck family celebrating Christmas and would enjoy seeing some of the movie characters added to the mix. I think Figment is my favorite.

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Returns as a Villian

By now, especially lately, you've probably heard of the new game from Disney Interactive Studios called EPIC MICKEY. It will launch later this month and is exclusive for the Wii. The concept is that old forgotten black & white Disney characters have declared war on Mickey and his colorful empire.

Don't know if Oswald is the main villian or not, but it is being reported that he's the one spreading that black goo all over the place that Mickey must clean up using paint thinner, erasers etc. As you can see, the art for this game is incredible. If the game play lives up to the art, Disney will undoubtebly have a huge hit on their hands. And Disney being Disney will probably start issuing merchandise.

Poor Oswald, stolen, forgotten, bought and sold. No wonder he's disgruntled. I know a lot of theme park cast members who can relate.
