I am not sure why they have sporting the red tag. If anybody has any other information please let us know.

Japan Releases
This list and date is a little bit different than the one
I had posted on News yesterday. As mentioned yesterday we knew that these releases were
coming but we were not certain on exact dates yet. Yoko sends more information and revised
schedule dates. She tells me that Cast announced that date but is not definite and it can
depend on the Store (Sounds very much like USA releases.. as not all stores get items at
the same time).
Banana, Grape and Watermelon Pooh, have a formal schedule date of 6th of July, however
Tokyo Disney Resort Disney Store MAY release them around 22nd of June. Japan Disney
Store's schedule date is changed often and sometimes New Pooh items are available
suddenly.
I have copied the email exactly as I received it from our wonderful contact in Japan Yoko
and Natsu. Please use this as a guide and take into account that there maybe some
variations in this schedule. I will post pictures and information as I get it.
June 22 - Grape Pooh, Banana Pooh
(Watermelon
Pooh will be put off selling after 22 th of June)
June 30 - Kiwi Pooh is exclusive item at Tokyo Disney Resort Disney Store
July 19 - Lion, Leo, Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore constellation series Little
star
July 27 - Elephant Pooh Little star
August 3 - Corn Pooh, Little star Snail Pooh. Wink Pooh, Sleeping Pooh ( on
the last two I am not sure if they are Little star or plush.)
August 10 - Virgo Pooh (Seal Pooh ) constellation series Little star
September 7 - Cook (chief) Pooh
September 14 - Libra Pooh, Harinezumi Pooh (Hedgehog)
In July we are to see Enriki Pooh which is guest design pooh and one of Little Star. Other Guest Design Pooh's to be released. Enriki means a diary with picture and is homework in Summer vacation for school.
Ekaki (Painter) Pooh on 5th October.
Yuki tells me this is the plan but it has not yet been formally announced so that means it could vary in release dates. Will let you know more as I know more. Guest Design Series will end in October with the release of Ekaki Pooh.

Cuppy Dangle
A little look back into Disney History
Cuppy Bean bag was originally released in the USA a couple of years ago. From what I understand this little Rabbit did not make it to all Disney Stores and was very popular when it did arrive to the stores. Soft and Cuddly he became as much a favorite to collectors as he was Hallie Parker from Parent Trap. No longer available for purchase directly in USA Disney Stores those who missed out on this adorable Rabbit have had to try to trade for him or pay high auction prices. At the same time the Movie was released Japan Disney Stores received the the Mbbp, Dangle and a Cuppy Teenie Beanbag. The Dangle is 3.75" and sold for 580 yen and the Teenie Beanie (sold on a DS card) is 3.25 inches and sold for 480 yen. They were released a couple of years ago at the time of the Movie Promotion from all emails it looks like these items were released in 1999. I don't recall any news on the dangles or teenie at that time just the Mbbp. I do think that we get Japan news a lot more now than we did back in 1999 as Disney collecting started in the USA and has spread to Europe and Japan.

Disney Value Guide for the UK
Steff from Meridian International Collectibles wrote this to me today. So that I don't loose any of the content I have copied the complete email here for everyone to read.
Mary Beth's Beanbag World Monthly UK version,
have published a valuation
guide for a selection of Disney Beanies. Most of the information was gleaned
from the USA version of the magazine, but I am not sure who carried out the
dollar conversions and certainly, at this end, no Disney beanbag secondary
market traders were consulted regarding values. What has, therefore, been
printed seems to bear no reality to real values and most collectors will be
disappointed with their collection if they relate it to this list. However,
I do write the Disney Dayz article in the magazine and have consulted with
the editor and expressed my unease at the fact that a great number of
beanbags have been valued at less that their actual retail cost. It may be
wise to advise those readers of the magazine who also look at your website
that a more accurate buyer's guide will be appearing in July (this has
been
compiled by me - acting on my experience of the Disney beanbag market).

Negative Trading Information page has also been updated. Once again if anyone is having problems with trades (Disney Mbbp must be involved) you may contact me at gtr@creationscelebrations.com If a trade has been satisfactorily completed then no negative post will be made.
I always do all I can do to try to bring the parties together to try to come up with a satisfactory solution, and in most cases, I am able to avoid posting a negative trade report. However, occasionally there are some that just don't respond, or are otherwise judged to be someone that traders should be warned against. Those that don't respond, could be having computer troubles, be out of town, etc. In MOST cases, upon successful completion of the trade deal the negative report will be removed. The successful conclusion or correction of a bad report is the ultimate goal. Not to slander a traders name on the net.

"When you spend more than £30 (on two or more items) at the Disney Store you will receive this free Lithograph and you will then be given a token which can be redeemed against the Chick Pooh on it's release in May. The Offer will run throughout April."

Holly has emailed that Milton Keynes

The small print on the bottom of it says that the offer

foot. If anybody knows please email.
