New DS 25th Anniversary and Jiminy Cricket Singleton

[JTChief82]

New from the Blog:

We are excited to share a look at a figure coming on March 28 to the Disney Stores and DisneyStore.com. This figure was created by artist Jim Valeri to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. Each open box figure is totally unique! Inside, you'll find an explosion of "confetti" in the shape of Mickey Mouse heads and the "25th Anniversary" logos.

There is another figure coming to the Disney Stores on April 29 featuring Jiminy Cricket. On World Wish Day, Disney Store will release a special Jiminy Cricket singleton. For every sale of this limited edition open box singleton, Disney Store will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish (up to $15,000). You can make a difference while adding a great new figure to your collection. We also learned that Jiminy Cricket is Disney Store President Jim Fielding's favorite character.

Here is a look at the figure with and without the hat.

I love the umbrella. This Jiminy is a great figure.

I like the other figure also. It is pretty simple but I think it looks great.

[PreludeVTEC01]

They both look great. The 25th Anni looks great with the clear and dark blue. I will get both of them, esp since it will going towards a great cause.

[JTChief82]

I think they are both really nice. The 25th reminds me of the U2 Confetti which is one of my favorites. Jiminy has such nice detail and since he has an umbrella we won't have any complaints that it is missing. Great addition!!

[MsDisneyFan]

Love that Jiminy has his umbrella! Also, that first figure is simple but so cool!

I Jiminy!!! He is perfect IMO . I also like the 25th anniversary, but I feel it needs a tab bit more Mickey confetti in the belly .

Edit: I didn't read well where it said each one is unique so... Oops. I like it and love the blue confetti

No mention of Jiminy online. I wonder why

[elemenopy]

The 25th one looks a bit snowglobe-ish to me... I wonder if it truly is filled with liquid...

Jiminy... what more can I say?

Huh he got it right from the VM blog.

Both these look great - I am super pleased that I will be near a Disneystore when both will be released.

[Allotes]

I know. I was just surprised the blog didn't mention these being available online

Oh sorry I misunderstood .

OOOH, I really want both, and I'm not a major fan of Jiminy, but that looks outstanding.

[wonderland]

I love them both! I am so happy that Jiminy finally has an umbrella. From the photos, he is so detailed. I like the clear with Mickey confetti too. I am going to be so indecisive since each one is unique.

It may be because of the donation Not sure if that matters, it may wind up online too

LOVE jiminy and the confetti one is cool since they're each unique. Can't wait for these!

[Allotes]

LOVE jiminy and the conferring one is cool since they're each unique. Can't wait for these!

Who's it conferring with?

I looked at it closer. The arms are molded to the body. I think it may be liquid filled with confetti floating around

I was hoping no one saw stupid auto-correct

You've been around long enough to know better

I the confetti figure, which I'm thinking is likely just confetti tossed into the mold while it's being extruded. It doesn't look free-floating to me.

That Jiminy Cricket, though, can only be referred to as "powerful ugly." The umbrella is a great touch, but that face? Now, swap an Animation 2 Jiminy head onto that body (or swipe an umbrella), and we'll be good as gold.

powerful ugly whaaaaat? He's so cute! I think we need to have you fitted for some glasses

[SirScott99]

I think both figures look great and I'll be getting both

[jeffztt]

I like both of these also. I think it is good they went with a different expression for Mr. The Cricket.

Jiminy is amazing, I love the face and umbrella. I'll probably get it and repaint it to look like his regular clothes. Can the Disney Store team just do all of the characters from now on, please?

The confetti one kind of sucks though.
