Stitchery

This was one of our favorite items from the Disney park in Japan. And, yes, it's grownup-sized, because in Japan, they acknowledge the fact that adults are sometimes very silly.

Chomp

Here's another so-ridiculous-it's-kind-of-wonderful item from Tokyo Disney.



It's like one of those claw hands, only when you pull the trigger, you make Stitch chomp down. Another "Why didn't we get two?" item, since then we could duel with Mr. Tiki!!

Ohana Shop Plush

So, we want to now go through a selection of our pictures of just the plush toys available at the Stitch's Ohana Village promotion at the Japanese Disney stores this summer. Realize, this is just the Ohana plushies, and we're not even talking about the other plushies that were available at the J Dizzney store. (And, of course, not even touching upon all the other other plushies available at the Dizzney park, toy stores, UFO catcher machines, and virtually on every street corner in Tokyo.) This is in partial explanation for why our head was swimming during this trip, and why we are still unpacking boxes.

Closing Ceremonies

They Olympics are finally over, and none too soon:



Here's a small plush the enterprising Mr. Tiki liberated from a UFO catcher in Nagoya for us. (As a comparison, here is Stitch Judo medalist, as issued by HK Dizzyland - and we certainly hope he didn't go around biting the referees).

We finally saw the Olympic sport that broke our brain yesterday. We don't know (and none of you tell us, because we don't WANT to know) what the fuck it was supposed to be, but it was a bunch of girls dolled up like they were gonna do synchro swimming, only instead they were twirling little cartwheels on a mat, whilst tossing pink jumpropes back and forth. This was supposed to be a sport. We dunno about you, but the IOC has just announced that baseball and softball, two games with actualy, ya know, scores 'n stuff, have been banished from the Olympics. For jello-haired freaks with pink jumpropes? Good lord.



Oh, and look: he's number 626! Hee.

The specificity is the awesome

This is supposed to be a Stitch bicycle bell.

Because, heaven forfend that a citizen of Japan might have to attach a bell to their bike that's not a licensed Disney product!!!!
