Its finally time to reveal an exciting project weve been working on for the past several months. Jody and I will release four new collectibles at a special merchandise event in June to honor the 45th anniversary of Walt Disneys Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. The show in California is still the original mostly and best assuredly, and its probably no surprise to you that it is our favorite place at Disneyland.
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, come with us… for a preview of new Tiki Room items….
This is easily some of the best official Enchanted Tiki Room merchandise ever released! I’m definitely going to be nabbing one of those fountains and a few of the prints. Check out both links below for all of the goodies that will be available soon.

Is this drawing of Dopey by Adolph Hitler?
(As we said previously) William Hakvaag, the director of a war museum in northern Norway, said he found the drawings hidden in a painting signed “A. Hitler” that he bought at an auction in Germany.
The initials on the sketches, and the signature on the painting, matched other copies of Hitlers handwriting, he claimed.
“Hitler had a copy of Snow White,” he said. “He thought this was one of the best movies ever made.”
Hitler tried to make a living as an artist before his rise to power. Nineteen watercolours and two sketches said to be by Hitler were sold in Britain two years ago for a total of £118,000.

Fear not Transformers fans! Another brand new line of collectible toys is hitting stores in August 2008.
Bringing us back to our G1 roots with some classic names, lead toy designer, Bill Rawley, has given up tidbits of info including character names and a few unpainted model images. Designers went for a more realistic look and have updated some favorites from the 1980’s line that started it all. Here’s what we know so far…
Included in the ‘Deluxe’ line will be..
Sunstreaker, a concept sports car closely resembling his original Lamborghini mode.
Prowl has also received an updated vehicle mode while still maintaining his signature shoulder mounted missile launchers.
Tankor, a triple-changing Decepticon, was originally set to be Octane.
In the ‘Ultra’ line we will see…
Powerglide in his classic jet styling, but with a more realistic silver paint job.
Onslaught, a mean as hell looking S.W.A.T. assault vehicle that stays true to the original character’s robot mode.
