Japanese Retro-Oswald Figures

March 2, 2007 3:42 pm

Continuing our Japanese theme today, David Gerstein led me to a Japanese website offering some very cool new Mickey Mouse and Disney Oswald vinyl collectible dolls and Kubrick mini-figures. I have no idea if these will offered in the U.S. but I know I want them.

	Why is it that the Japanese always end up with the coolest cartoon stuff? I still remember that ultra-cool Tex Avery lamp from Japan in the now defunct Whole Toon Catalogue.

	Wow! Those translated really well from cartoon to 3D. They remind me a bit of the recent Batman Black and White statues. Great stuff.

	I’ve got that wolf lamp. From the Whole Toon Catalog, as a matter of fact-1990. evil grin Yes, it’s true: the most desirable animation-themed figures always seem to be from a million miles away in either France or Japan…thank heaven for the internet.

	Medicom’s figurines are extremely high quality, eye pleasing and even affordable collectibles, they are very true to the original characters and their appearance in films, you can see they come from an animator’s point of view. Too bad they arn’t easy to get your hands on. They Disney Vinyl Collectible series has been running for several years, I bought a few from a store called Toy Tokyo in NYC. Search for ‘medicom’ on their website (toytokyo.com)

	They both look really good, except Mickey’s ears seem a tad too small. Nevertheless, I would like to own these as well!

	Peter Card — Acoording to the japanese Medicom Toy website, the Mickey & Oswald “Vinyl Collectible Dolls” are 170mm (6.7 inches) tall.

	That Medicom stuff is always available on eBay. There are a couple of pre-orders up there now. There’s a great one called “Mickey Mouse Runaway Brain” that’s done by Medicom.

	I guess I might get a Mickey Kubrick… I’ve been hearing about how these Kubricks are “so cute”…etc.

	Available, but WHOA!
