Disney of the World, namely Japan (part 2)

Here is part 2 of the exploring Disney merchandise in Japan. I recently came across the Disney Dollcena dolls and, I have to admit, I bought a couple. Perhaps it is my personal taste, but it seems like Japanese Disney products tend to be more creative and seem less like mass produced box store merchandise where the same graphic is repeatedly slapped onto a t-shirt. The dolls are a collaboration between Tomy and Disney. Many more kinds of dolls are available than pictured. They seem to be about the size of a mini Pullip doll. I noticed the Dollcenas' eyes open and close.

Starting left to right and then clockwise: Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates Adventure), Alice of Alice in Wonderland (Milky Girl), Chip (Nuts Mania C), Christmas version of Jack Skellington (What Is Christmas?!), Mickey Mouse fan (I Love the Mouse), and Marie from Aristocats (Miu Miu Ribbon).

Some of the other dolls not pictured include Cinderella, Belle, Donald Duck, Chicken Little, Woody (from Toy Story), Winnie the Pooh, Stitch, and several more.

I personally hope to acquire Nuts Mania C. The characters Chip and Dale have a stronger hold on the Japanese market than they do in America, so there are always fun imports to discover.

Disney of the World, namely Japan

I've come to an interesting conclusion - Disney products of Japan tend to be way cooler than most offered in America, aside from awesome American products like the stuffed Pook-a-Looz. It is odd that the homeland of the Walt Disney empire doesn't market better products for its audience. Let's take a look at some Disney products of Japan that I discovered through a quick search today on the internet (descriptions below).

1. Pullip Byul Dumbo inspired doll. There are summer clothes under the Dumbo outfit and apparently pushing his tummy makes a sound. 2. Re-Ment miniature Cheshire Cat key chain. Re-ment makes tons of Disney related miniature 1:6 scale plastic food products as well. 3. Shellie May teddy bear. Shellie is a friend of Duffy, Mickey Mouse's teddy bear that was originally created for the market in Japan, having recently made it's way into select Disney amusement parks in the U.S. 4. Pullip Peter Pan doll. There is also a Tinker Bell and Captain Hook. 5. Tokyo Disneyland stickers in gear motif. The Disney parks in Tokyo also have pretty awesome unique Little Mermaid products.

Found some other awesome Disney products from Japan? Let me know and post about it.
