Sacre bleu! Duck a l'orange! Je gots stuffs from Disney Resort Paris!!!



Here is M. le Vampire Stitch! Zut alors!



And regardez Stitch's Cousin Cousine Leroi!!! Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust!!!



And Pere Noel himself, Stitch! Avec un small Stitch cookie. Quelle says "Eat Me." La meilleure peluche jamais, n'est-ce pas?

Not really a cookie.

Of course, that's not really Indy Jones.

Here is the best thing. We were on the studio backlot tour at Hollywood Studios, just off the tram and milling around the gift shop at the end. The boys were all noodling around the Star Wars goodies, oddly enough.

And we spotted this globe:



Yeah, Mickey and Minnie. Yawn. And then wandered off to try on some Mouse ears. When interrupted by Alyssa, who ran over, waving the same dang snowglobe....



"Look, Tiki, it's Emperor Stitch!"

Eeeeeee!

So, here's a lesson kiddies, always turn it around to look at the back!!

So, actually, there wasn't too much. They didn't have a lot of stuff, and the stuff they had, we had. Meaning, we now have as much Stitch stuff as Walt Dizzney himself. Weird, huh?

Fortunately, we also live with a collecting Jedi master. So, Mr. Tikistitch also suggested we hit the resort gift shops. And guess what? We hit paydirt at the Polynesian.



Tiki Stitch! Including a ginormous tiki towel.

( Tiki! )

This is a cell phone strap from Disney Resort Paris. Nothing terribly distinctive about it, several of the parks have used the Bellhop Stitch character for the Tower of Terror ride, and we have other such items from DRP. What strikes us as funny is the fact that they've noted that this is a cell phone strap like fifty times on the packaging. Were this item from Japan, it would be pretty frickin' obvious ('cause that's how they roll), but in Europe, we guess, a cell phone strap is a bit of an oddity.

Looks like Stitch is having a very merry un-birthday.

( Let them eat cupcake )

Presenting, our Mickeydoki bag!!!!



So, like many things with tiki, this is A Long Story.

( Blah blah blah )

Sleepy Stitch We found this at Tokyo Disney. It was one of those items that Mr. Tiki insisted on plonking in our shopping cart. "You've gotta get this one!!!" We protested that we didn't wanna be clutching a big big bag o' plushies on Raging Spirits, but it was to no avail. Fortunately, Sleep Stitch didn't go flying out on the 360 degree loop, although that's the point where we may've lost our spleen.

So, one of our themes today is gonna be "weird shit what we found at Tokyo Disney." Now, just so there is no misunderstanding, Tokyo Disney is like one of our favorite places in the whole wide galaxy, and they always feature absolutely outstanding character goods. The souvenirs are cute and well made, and among the most prized pieces in our collecting. BUT! There's some of the stuff they make, and we at Tiki Labs LLC just kinda gotta scratch our collective noggins and go, "Wha?"




So here's an example.



In case you couldn't tell, this is a rear view mirror. It's pretty cute, with the little duckies.



But, it's a licensed Lilo & Stitch rear view mirror. From Tokyo Disney Resort. Because, we always go to amusement parks to buy our automotive equipment.

We've always found an alarming array of Stitch action toys at the Tokyo Disney park. Usually, they light up in pretty colors when you press the button or pull the trigger.



This one's a bit different. As we discovered when we were testing it scientifically (by unpacking the boxes), if you tilt it up and it goes, "AWOOOOOO!" and then you flip it upside down it goes, "WAAAOOOO!"



We excitedly demonstrated our scientific finding to Mr. Tiki.

He thinks we are easily amused.
