UK Disney Store Pin Release - 3rd February

We are pleased to bring you a sneak peak of the next UK Disney Pin releases coming on Friday February 3rd on www.disneystore.co.uk. We've fiddled around with some of the page holders on the Disney Store UK website, and we've found an image depicting Stitch and Angel inside a heart. The pin will be LE350 and it is very similar to last year's Bambi Valentine's day pin.

The pin will be available in selected Disney Stores a day later on Saturday 4th February.

Good luck trying to get the Rapunzel Gondala pin which is released at 9am today! We are sure it will be very popular, and will sell out very quickly.

Have a magical day!!

Ingersoll Classic Time Collection

All of  the big kids out there, will be pleased to see the evidence that Disney are listening to the feedback that they are being given by their fans.

In the last few years the amount of adult collectibles and merchandise has fallen dramatically, however since the turn of the new year the website is regularly being updated with the addition of merchandise for the big kids!

The Ingersoll Classic Time collection is a series of 13 retro style Ingersoll watches featuring classic disney characters on the watch face. Many of the leather straps are also Disney themed with some being bright, colourful cartoons and others being a mickey head pattern.

All 13 watches are unisex, but the www.disneystore.co.uk states that they are 'not for large wrists' which will rule some of us out unfortunately.

It's not only Mickey and Minnie appearing on the watches, Goofy and Donald form part of the collection too..

It is quite novel that the character's hands form the watch hands...

The watches come in a novel Mickey head shaped box too!

The watches are £50 each, and are only available online at the moment, however it is rumoured that the Oxford Street store in London may be getting them later in the month. These watches are currently eligible for free delivery! Perfect presents!

Have a magical day!

Muppets Mania

Only 25 days until the Muppets Movie finally graces cinema screens around the country. It seems like an age since the film premiered in the US.

We are very impressed by the range of Muppets merchandise which is available from Disney Stores in the UK both in store and online. Having seen some of the merchandise first hand the quality is very good in comparison with other Disney products. The colourful nature of the Muppets makes the whole range look appealing to children and adults a like. The Muppets is one of the few brands that Disney have left which they can effectively market to the Adult market.

The range of merchandise includes mugs, notepads, soft toys, bags and much, much more.

These mugs are available in a whole range of characters, but the Gonzo one looks exceptional. It is a real bargain at only £8.

Here is a look at a couple of other novelty items from the range...

Kermit notepad - £6

Miss Piggy Soft Toy - £18

Kermit Kids T-Shirt - £12



Have you checked out Muppets Mania out on www.disney.co.uk/muppets ? They are currently doing a never ending Mahna Mahna. You can upload your own video to add the phenomahna.

Have a muppetly magical day!!

Free Delivery Boundary Changed

Some good news for UK Disney Fans who like to bemoan the lower limit for free delivery in the US. The Disney Store UK website is now promising FREE DELIVERY on all orders over £50 instead of the usual £75. The offer is automatically applied at the checkout!
Nobody is sure how long this is going to last, but we heard a rumour it will be ending at the end of February so treat yourself and stock up on some Disney goodies now!

UK Vinylmation - Furry Friends are coming!

Some fantastic news emerged concerning the #saveukvinylmation campaign today.

Disney announced that Furry Friends, the adorable 3'' vinylmation series comprising of 11 revealed designs and 1 mystery chaser design are coming to UK Disney Stores on 9th January 2012.

The revealed designs include:

-Meeko
-Percy
-Francis
-Max
-Trusty
-Patch
-Pluto
-Marie
-Oliver
-Pegasus
-Tramp
-Cheshire Cat  ( Chaser - highlight to reveal)

The collectible figures will retail at £8 each, with £1 per vinylmation sold going to Disney's official charity partner, Great Ormond Street.

As per usual, the figures will be concealed in mystery blind boxes, with each Disney Store guest having no idea which figure they will be buying until they open it.

An unusual twist on this series is the unique box design, which reflect a cardboard pet carrier as opposed to the usual standard box design.

This series is sure to appeal to non vinylmation collectors as well because of the adorable boxes, trays and artwork that appear externally. Let's hope this series is the injection that Vinylmation need to help them cement a permanent position on UK Disney store shelves.

Have a magical day!
