OSWALD MANIA IN JAPAN

What is the deal with all this Oswald Rabbit merchandise is Japan?

We reported on this phenomenon in an earlier post and David Gerstein has now sent me this link showing a whole line of Lucky Rabbit products. I really like the black & white Oswald watch pictured. If any one can get me one of those, let me know.

Maybe, if we're lucky, some clueless Hollywood executive, sensing Oswald is the next new anime fad, will start importing these toys and creating new Oswald Rabbit animation... or maybe Universal will release a "perfect collection" of 1930s Oswald cartoons on dvd.
