Easter Globes at Walmart part 2

I ran over to Walmart on my lunch break yesterday and took some pics of the waterless easter globes that they have this year. This is what they actually look like instead of the prototype mockups that I showed in an earlier post. They cost 9.97. The two Cars globes play "I've Been Everywhere" and the Cinderella and Tinker Bell ones play what is billed as a fun Easter medley. They are smaller then the Christmas ones and I'm guesing about 6 or 7" high.

Mulan Picture Frame Snowglobe

You've probably seen the Disney Princess picture frame series that have a small snowglobe to the left of the frame and a figure of a princess on the right. Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine, Ariel, Aurora and Tinker Bell are readily available at the parks and are constantly on ebay. I think I saw one sell for as high as $30 once but usually they are around $19-25 range.

Today while going through the closed auctions I came across Mulan which sold for $96. This series first appeared a couple of years ago if memory serves and I think Mulan was part of the original mix but was quickly replaced by Tinker Bell. I'm not sure about that as I wasn't tracking such things back then but I believe that was the case.

Anway the result seems to be that Mulan is rare and in much higher demand then the others.

Disney Easter globes at walmart

It seems the Disney Easter egg globes are now at Walmart since at least one has shown up on ebay. It's different then the pictures I previously posted however. Looking at the previous pictures I can see that these are clearly protoype or mockups and not a finished product. I'll try to stop by a Walmart and see what's up. In the meantime the top picture is the picture from the Gemmy site and the picture below is the one from off of ebay.

Anatomy of a book entry.

Today, I thought we'd take a closer look at how I am laying out an individual entry in the book. The example I've chosen is one I've just finished and will be in the chapter where I am grouping the snowglobes based on the animated shorts together.


Cartoons
Sea Scouts

Picture from The Disney Catalog.
Based on the 1939 cartoon. Admiral Donald gives the orders as a shark waits in the water.
Fabric flag.
Music: “Donald Duck theme “
Size: 6 ¼”H.
Snow Type: Glitter.
Source: Disney Catalog, Online.
ORP: 58.00 (2004)
Value 2007: 71.95-92.43
Value 2008: 87.50

1. The first line identifies what section of the book the entry is in. In this case it is cartoons.
2. The second line identifies the title of the globe. In this case it is the name of the cartoon. Some globes are identified by a name in the Disney Catalogs, others have no name and will not have a title line but will simply be identified by the category it is in like Toy Story or Walt Disney World.
3. The picture in this example comes from The Disney Catalog. I prefer to use pictures of this type with no background to better showcase the globe itself, but that wont always be possible.
4. The line directly under the picture will be the picture credit. In this case the picture came from a scan of a Disney Catalog. Some will be from DisneyShopping.com. Pictures I have personally taken of globes in my possession will read picture from the author's collection. When a picture is provided by another it will read picture from the "person's name" collection.
5. The description is simply a brief description of the globe itself. In some cases it will be very close to the description from an actual Disney catalog or website.
6. The lines below the description are where the facts will be listed. Blower, Lights, Movement, Music, Size, Snow Type, Source, ORP, Value.
7. Blower will simply list if the globe in question has a blower or not. Because this entry does not have one the blower line is eliminated.
8. Lights will list what if anything lights up on the globe. Again this entry has no lights so the line is eliminated.
9. Movement will list what movement if any a globe has including bobble springs. If the globe has no movement the line will not appear.
10. Music will list the song the globe plays. In some cases more then 1 song will be listed when it is discovered that the same globe has different music installed. If the globe does not play any music there will be no music line in the entry.
11. Size will list the height of the globe in inches.
12. Snow Type will list what kind of snow the globe has inside. White, glitter,bats, blue liquid and so on will be noted here. If this line does not appear in an entry it is because I have not determined what kind of snow it has.
13. Source will be either where the globe could be originally purchased or the manufacturer. An enesco globe can be purchased at various gift stores for example so I would opt to list the source as Enesco instead of Hallmark stores.
14. ORP is the original retail price followed in parenthesis by the years the globe was available.
15. Value will be the prices I've seen the globe sell for on ebay in the year listed.

All clear? Any questions or suggestions?
