Japan Disco Mickey Plush pin pictured with UK magnet (left) USA magnet (right) New regular Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, 101 Dalmatian, Mickey and Minnie magnets due out today in the UK. They sell for £3.99 
The UK magnets are more than twice as big in size. They are similar to the USA ones in that they both have magnets in their hands. It is nice to see these new UK ones as they are plump and look to be well made. They seem to resemble the size that Japan has been bringing us for quite some time. I have not been told as to if there are exclusive to the UK or not but will let you know when I do find out.
If you have a pictures or more information to add on this release or from the magnet page do not hesitate to email me! _____________________ Australian Exclusive Pooh Sport Set Disney Australia has moved the pre-order date to the The handling of international orders is a little unclear at the moment. I Thanks to Jen from Jay Dee Toys for the update!

Ffiona informs me that the news Dangles were released a few weeks back in Japan. So far we know that they had Tiger Pooh, Lamb Pooh, Pig Pooh and Dog Pooh. So now we now know that we have 4 total new Dangles from Japan.
Thanks Fiona, Yuki and Julie for the all information! There are 26 Dangles that I know of so far! Please take a minute to view the pictures and tell me if I am missing any. Dangle Pooh Keychain Picture Page _____________________ Looks like we are getting a new variation of Sleeping Dalmatian Pillow in the UK. This time with sound. There has been a change on the fabric. I am not sure what else has changed. Will let you know more when I find out more. _____________________ In Depth report on the 4th of July Pooh set
Pooh arrived and he is bigger than usual mbbp pooh bears. He is being reported and treated as a Mbbp. He is very cute and well made. He stands much better than he sits in my opinion. Which I think it great for then you can group Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore to show quite nicely.
Below I have him sitting with Santa Pooh LBBP and UK As Tigger Pooh Mbbp. He is as tall as LBBP Santa Pooh but is not quite as fat. LBBP Santa Pooh resembles a plush, where 4th July pooh is defiantly in Mbbp design and material. 4th July pooh has same size face looking straight at him as Mbbp face. But when you turn him sideways it is a tiny bit bigger. His body is quite a bit bigger than reg. Mbbp body size.
Tigger is about the same size. His actual nose is more plush looking but no real major differences on him. His size is Mbbp size without a question.
Eeyore is a bit bigger than regular Eeyore. More noticeably in person than seen in this picture. Grey not Blue.. He is sewn in a sitting position and his arms are tacked to his legs to hold the position.
June 21th, 2000 July 10th Japan will see a new Happi Pooh, Tigger and Piglet for year 2000. They will cost 1200 yen each. Thanks Yuki and Sarah from Bears 'n' Beanies UK
June 20th, 2000 Japan Dangles I have not seen these reported on yet. I am not sure exactly when they were released in Japan but Julie brought them to my attention. Pig Pooh, Lamb Pooh and Dog Pooh Dangle. Now most (not all) of the Dangles have had matching Mbbp size poohs called Little Stars. So now is a question for Disney. Will we get more Little stars to match all the dangles? Hope so, they sure are cute together!
Thanks Julie and Yuki for the information and pictures!!! June 19th, 2000
June 20th will be the release of Fireman Pooh in the UK _______ Australia Sport set Looks like they are now giving us some exact release dates on some styles.

Also shown below is a picture of the Tag that comes with these new Mbbp items. It is especially designed with the Disney Resort Logo.
We also saw new Dangles. These Resort Mini Plush Dangles all have a place to put your name and address on them. I guess you would use these for identifying your items while traveling.

He has purple silk wings with yellow bits, Green body and yellow belly and red arms. Topped off with little yellow antenna.

June 13th, 2000 All items are available online now! Updated pictures on items available from the Catalog. Pirate Pooh from the USA is a bit different than the UK release. He is missing his parrot. There may be other differences and I can report on it after I get my USA Pooh. When I called and ordered my set this morning they told me I should have them in 8 days.
Now that we have actual pictures of Wedding Mickey and Minnie we can see that they are quite a bit different than any other wedding set released yet. From the Color of Mickey's Tux to the design of Minnie's dress.

June 1, 2000 Australia Sport Set Today you can email sportspooh.bbp@disney.com to pre-register your interest in the set pictured below. There is no guarantee you will get the sets though. On July 1st Disney will contact you with details and more information. They are also stating on July 1st that there will be a dedicated phone number you can call to pre-purchase the set. The Disney store is going to handle all marketing on these items from a central location. Thus they are trying to alleviate us from calling each individual store. I am hoping that their efforts will run smooth and we will all be happy with the outcome! Piglet Tennis Eeyore Boxing Pooh Windsurfing Tigger Fencing Pooh Weightlifting |
