Just a little bit of news here:
There are new Tsum Tsums at the Disney Store! There is a Toy Story mini set, a Christmas Mickey and friends mini set, a Phineas and Ferb Perry mini, and some new medium size plushes: Marie, Stitch, and Winnie the Pooh. I am personally not crazy about the additions, although I am sure that some people will be over the moon for them! Here is the Japanese Disney Store's website with their collection of Tsum Tsums. I am personally hoping that we eventually get Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Huey, Dewie, and Louie.
If you want to see promo pictures of upcoming Ever After High merchandise, this is a French website that has tons of them, and is a great resource. The Ever After High Dolls Facebook page also made some announcements regarding the webisodes. We will officially see a bunch of new characters in the upcoming third season. Three of them are confirmed Rebels: Ginger Breadhouse (daughter of the Candy Witch), Rosabella Beauty (daughter of Beauty and the Beast), and Darling Charming (daughter of King Charming). This will add a very interesting dynamic, since Rosabella is Briar Beauty's cousin, and Darling is Daring and Dexter's sister. Rebel relatives of Royals...hmm. I'm especially excited for Darling, since she is described as a princess who wants to be a knight in shining armor who saves people. She even wears armor, which I think is amazingly cool. Gus Crumb (son of Gretel) and Helga Crumb (daughter of Hansel) are also announced, although we have no word on what their affiliation is. I'm personally thinking Royals? Either way, the EAHD page leaked screenshots of Helga, Gus, Ginger, and the unnamed snow princess I gushed about earlier. She's still adorable, but her outfit is blech. Ginger, the Crumb cousins, and Darling and Rosabella will more than likely have dolls released next year. No news about the snow princess yet.
I'll probably be posting a "holiday toy hunting guide" or some approximation thereof in the somewhat near future. Oh, and I will also be doing an unboxing of the two limited edition boxsets (Sailor Moon and Cowboy Bebop) that I ordered. The Sailor Moon one will probably be sometime next week, but I'm not sure when.
Also in ultra-breaking news: spice cake with cream cheese frosting is delicious. I'll probably make some pumpkin cake or brownies for Halloween. Yum!
