Toy Story Bullseye Costume Romper for Baby (Disney Store)

🎶 Bullseye he's Woody's horse...he's a smart one! 🎶 A few months back, my good friend Sara (who I worked with as a Disney Store Cast Member) was nice and thoughtful enough to gift us this absolutely adorable Toy Story Bullseye costume romper from the Disney Store. I couldn't wait to see Aidan wear it and knew he'd make the cutest Bullseye ever—I was right!

This little costume is so soft, cozy and perfectly stylized. Here are the official product details:

• Plush romper (Body: polyester; Hood lining: 100% cotton)
• Hood with character face
• Embroidered features
• Embroidered ''Bullseye'' text on back
• Tail appliqué
• Full zip front
• Snap tab at neckline
• Contrast ribbed cuffs
• Lined hood

This is size 3-6 months, but it's also available in sizes 0-3, 6-9, 9-12 and 12-18 months. Makes for the perfect costume for Halloween, a baby photo shoot or just a warm and cozy little outfit for Toy Story-loving parents to gush over.

Aidan, you did not disappoint. This cuteness is off the charts! It makes me so happy to have these photos that we'll be able to look back on for years to come.

Unfortunately this romper has since sold out at the Disney Store/ShopDisney, but you can find it pretty easily on eBay currently right HERE or even Amazon using the link below. Let me know your thoughts down in the comments! Anyone else here pick this up for their baby?

Toy Story 4: Limited Edition Duke Caboom Biker Tee (from Fabric Flavours)

CABOOM! Check out this awesome officially licensed limited edition Toy Story 4 inspired Duke Caboom biker tee for kids from the UK based clothing company, Fabric Flavours. A huge thanks to Fabric Flavous for reaching out and providing me with this shirt to review for you all! As a fan of the character Duke Caboom (he's probably my favorite out of the new characters in TS4), this was the perfect gift for me. I got this tee in size 5/6, so it'll be a solid few years before Aidan can fit into it, but it'll be waiting! 

On the front you'll notice the bold CABOOM graphic with Duke's iconic silhouette. The back of the tee says "Duke Caboom: Legend in Action" and is designed to look like a cool retro biker logo—totally classic! There's even a small removable patch on the sleeve that features Duke Caboom and says "I do my own stunts."

I believe Fabric Flavours ships outside of the UK as well, so be sure to order this tee on their website HERE before it's gone if you're interested! Retail price is £20.00 GBP (which is about $25 US). I highly recommend it, I haven't seen any other design like this one!

Cars 3: Mater's Backward ABC Book Review

Another day in June, another Pixar film's anniversary! Today I'm celebrating 3 YEARS since the theatrical release of Cars 3 (June 16th, 2017) and thought it would be fun to take a look at a really cute book that I discovered recently—Mater's Backward ABC Book! This book was released clear back in the fall 2017 and it completely slid under my radar. I spotted it on Amazon not too long ago and couldn't believe I had never heard of it, so I asked for it for my birthday! I knew immediately that it would be adorable and dadgum I was right.

Why backward ABCs you ask? Don't forget, Mater's the world's best backwards driver...it makes perfect sense! It's a really fun twist on your standard ABC style book, written by Lisa Wheeler and beautifully illustrated by Satoshi Hashimoto. It's Pixar perfection.

In this hardcover book (40 pages), Mater teaches the alphabet from Z to A with words and names from all three Cars films (as well as general car/vehicle related words). Both young Cars fans and their parents will get a kick out of it! It's very clever.

Check out my exclusive peek inside below!

You can pick up Mater's Backward ABC Book at Barne's & Noble HERE or Amazon using the direct link below for $8.99. I can't recommend it enough for all you Disney·Pixar Cars lovin' families out there!

Incredibles 2: Blind Box "Mini Supers" Collectible Figures by Jakks Pacific SERIES 2

Happy second anniversary to Incredibles 2—released in theaters on this day in 2018! To celebrate, I wanted to take a quick look at SERIES 2 of the blind box "Mini Supers" Collectible Figures by Jakks Pacific. I've been meaning to get this post up for over a year now, so I figured today that there would be no better time at this point. If you missed my review of Series 1, check it out HERE (and visit my post HERE for the playsets)!  

In this series there are nine brand new characters: Elastigirl (Retro White Suit), Mr. Incredible (Retro Blue Suit), Monster Jack-Jack, Racoon, Metal Jack-Jack, Screenslaver, Violet (Invisible), Reflux and Voyd. What makes this series a step up from the first one is that there are more unique characters that are specifically from Incredibles 2 (like Screenslaver, racoon and "wannabe supers" Reflux & Voyd). The first series relied almost entirely on characters from the first film.

As far as size, they're anywhere between 1" (smallest being Jack-Jack) to 2" in size (Mr. Incredible is the tallest of the bunch). They're made of a very lightweight plastic and originally retailed for $2.88 each.

These blind boxes were very hard to come by. In fact, I never found them at the store and didn't even know they existed until around six months later once they had already come and gone. Once I found out about them, I had to resort to eBay and ended up buying a whole case. I feel like this series had a much smaller distribution and was lesser-known altogether compared to the first.

Check out all the awesomely stylized figures down below in more detail! They're simple and fun, great for display.

The Perfect Disney Vinymation Display Shelf—Available at Michael's!

Remember Vinylmation? They were some of my favorite things to collect from 2011 until they were pretty much discontinued around 2017. I have over 100 Pixar Vinylmation and well over 100 Star Wars Vinylmation, so you can see that I was (and still am) a big fan and was bummed when the craze ended! For years now, I've never had a good way to display my Vinylmation collection—in fact, no way at all. They've literally just been stored in a bin in my attic waiting for me to find the perfect way to display them. Well a few weeks ago, I finally did! I am SO excited and thrilled to share this find with you. Vinylmation are designed with collectors in mind and are made to be displayed; now they can finally fulfill their purpose.

I was at Michael's Crafts a few weeks back and happened to spot this shot glass display case while I was looking for something else. It caught my eye and I knew immediately that it would be just perfect for Vinylmation! I was right. The case itself is 18" x 16.5", has 28 openings (each little cubby measures 2" wide x 3.5" tall and 2" deep) and retails for $65. One of the coolest aspects is that it has a hinged glass front/door to help keep the dust out! You can display this black case on a wall or on a tabletop.

You can find this case at your nearest Michel's or on their website HERE. Michael's usually has sales going too, so keep a look out for them. I got mine for 30% off, which was solid. I'm for sure going to get two more of these so I have a place for each of my Pixar Vinylmation!

If you've also been looking for a great way to display your Vinylmation collection, I hope this posts helps! I 100% recommend it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

"World of Pixar" Toddler T-shirt—Walt Disney World Version

Early last month, I posted on my new favorite t-shirt that was available on ShopDisney and at the Disney Parks earlier this year—this "World of Pixar" men's tee. When I saw there was a toddler "World of Pixar" variation for boys using the same adorable character designs, I knew right away that I would need to pick it up and save it for when Aidan's old enough to wear it (I picked up the smallest size, 2T; the shirt goes up to size 4T). Here it is!

Next fall is when we plan on going to Disney World next, so Aidan should hopefully be just the right size for this (he'll be almost two). I can't wait for him to wear this the same day I wear mine! I've wanted a son to wear matching Pixar shirts with for a long time, so this will be really fun for me.

The screen art on this shirt includes: Woody, an Alien, Mike Wazowski, Nemo, Squirt, Lightning McQueen, WALL•E, E.V.E., Remy, Joy, Edna, Jack-Jack, Merida, and Miguel—not to mention the iconic Pixar ball which is almost a character in itself!

You can purchase this tee on ShopDisney right now HERE!

Note: This version says "Walt Disney World" on it (I picked this one up since we will be going to WDW), but there's also a "Disneyland" version which you can purchase HERE if you'll be visiting there instead.

Toy Story: Baby Bodysuits 5-Pack PAGE UPDATE

New Toy Story Mania at Toy Story Land—Magic in the Details!

Evening everyone! Those who know me here know that my wife Brita and I LOVE Toy Story Mania (even though I almost always beat her at the game, she's a great sport about it ;). It's in our top five favorite rides at Walt Disney World for sure. Our last visit to WDW was in October 2018 and it was our first experience entering the ride from the brand new (at the time) Toy Story Land. We were thrilled by all the stunning new details at the entrance, throughout the entire queue and even through the exit! The details and subtle nods for diehard fans are there from the very beginning until your leave the ride premises altogether. I like how they updated the ride's backstory to fit in with the context of the land as well—meaning it's now a game that Andy opened up in his backyard and all the toys are playing with it!

I realized recently that I had taken lots of really cool photos capturing most of my favorite details (though unfortunately I'm sure I missed plenty) during our visit, so I thought it would be fun to share them with you and document them here tonight while we're all missing the Disney Parks these days!

Enjoy.

So awesome seeing what the packaging would have looked like for Lenny and Chuckles in this universe! 

What are some of your favorite details found in and around Toy Story Mania? What are some good ones that I missed here? Go ahead and leave a comment with your thoughts and any photos you may have as well! Looking forward to the conversation.

See ya real soon!
