As you may remember, I've been pretty determined to get lots of the amazing new collectibles being produced for Disneyland's 50th anniversary (such as my beloved Monorail replica)! Disney Direct has been releasing new waves of items every month or so, and some of my items from last month's wave have arrived and look great in my condo! The most spectacular piece is the Enchanted Tiki Room Barker Bird, which is a life-size (for a bird) figure of the original "barker bird" (he used to be outside the Tiki Room saying funny things to get guests to come inside). Most of the figure is resin (like a traditional big fig), but he has some accent feathers on his tail, a real wooden perch, and a stiff collar and silk-like bowtie! His eyes are also incredible - like real glass eyes you would find in a natural history museum. Take a closer look and you'll be amazed. This incredible replica was a gift from my parents, since Mom was so upset at the demise of my Jiminy Cricket figure a while back! I'm also really happy with my Disneyland dedication plaque, which is hanging on my wall (photo coming soon), but I'm still waiting on my Jungle Cruise boat - maybe it will be here when I return from Japan!Labels: disney, life
