MINDstyle x Disney Toy Story Alien Invasion Custom Toy Exhibit

It looks like MINDstyle has finally decided what its next Disney platform is going to be, and it’s the Alien from Pixar’s Toy Story! The Blot knows next to nothing about this release, but we did get this cryptic message off the MINDstyle blog: “An invasion of aliens from around the world…by a very select group of creative minds unleashing their interpretations!”

MINDstyle x Disney Toy Story Alien Invasion Artist Series
I’m guessing this means we’ll be seeing a second traveling art exhibit featuring some sick hand painted Alien customs by top artists from around the world…or I could be totally off base. I’m not sure Alien is the character I would have chosen to follow up the hugely popular Stitch figures, but it does correspond nicely with the re-release of Toy Story 1 & 2 and the upcoming release of Toy Story 3. Then again, I never would have thought releasing Stitch as a platform toy would have been a smart idea either, so what do I know! According to the picture above, these Alien vinyl figures will be unveiled to the world sometime in May or June of 2010. More details to come as they become available.

Medicom x Disney Alice In Wonderland Cheshire Cat 400% Be@rbrick

We’re just a few days away from the world premiere of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland! This live action Disney film has been getting very mixed reviews, but nothing can stop me from seeing this movie. Even Burton and Johnny Depp’s worst collaborations are still entertaining. To commemorate the film’s release, Medicom Toy is releasing a 400% Be@rbrick of everyone’s favorite AIW character, the Cheshire Cat! This detailed figure also goes nicely with the Japanese toy company’s Alice In Wonderland 100% Kubrick & Be@rbrick set currently in stores.

Medicom x Disney Alice In Wonderland Cheshire Cat 400% Bearbrick
The Medicom x Disney Alice In Wonderland Cheshire Cat 400% Be@rbrick retails for around $70 and is available right now! I’m not sure where you can purchase this figure though, as most 400% Be@rbricks, even if they’re not Japan exclusives, have proven to be hard to track down.
