Neat Christmas Gift!

This Christmas, I got a lot of cool gifts but this one I felt I should share.  I have recently been using a new Chapstick from EOS.  It can be found at Target and Costco and comes in a variety of flavors.

My mom, in her infinite wisdom, remembered this and got me some more as a stocking stuffer — but these were different.  While still from EOS, they were Alice in Wonderland chap-sticks with new flavors and an awesome design!  Hidden Mickeys!

I like to see these little details.  Really drives home the idea of detail and good design.  Did you get any unconventional Disney gifts?

Disneyana: The Bird Head Skeleton

Here we have another piece of Pirates of the Caribbean Disneyana.

Put out by “Span of Sunset”, this vinyl figure depicts one of the classic scenes from the Disneyland attraction.

Measuring at 16″, this figure came in all black vinyl.  I hand painted the piece using acrylics.

The sword in the skeleton’s chest is removable, so you can have endless fun sending this scallywag to Davy Jones’ locker!

Disneyana: The Auctioneer

We continue the take off of our new long running series: “Disneyana”.  We will be showcasing some of our most treasured Disney collectibles.

Today’s item is the Pirates of the Caribbean Auctioneer Big Figure.

What be I offered?

 

This 28″ statue was released at Disneyland for the park’s 50th anniversary.  I remember how excited I was to find it under the Christmas tree that year!

Do any of you have any “Big Figs” you would like to share with us?

Disneyana: Shag

Adding to our list of Disneyana here at Remain Seated Please, I wanted to share this piece my wife and I just got from Disneyland.  Online, it looks like this piece is pretty old but I absolutely love it!

Our Shag as it appears in our home!

This piece shows Shag’s take on New Orleans Square.  It depicts a family between Pirates and Mansion with the father taking a photo.  This picture, minus the kid, basically is my wife and I at the parks!  I love Shag’s 60s style, I love that it has a 60s take on the Mansion, and I love how the characters look so enamored with the park.  I can only hope my kid is as cool as this one some day.

Do you have a favorite Shag piece?  Let us know in the comments below!

Shag!
