This may be the most unusual line of Disney merchandise that I've ever seen because it depicts Bambi as a ROBOT! How insane is this?!? These are so cute that it's painful. It's a set of Robo-D capsule toys produced by Yujin of Japan, and they are sold in vending machines. I have seen machines selling Tomy Disney capsule toys for years now at movie theaters and many chain stores. I got these online. These are small--that's how I justified buying them.
This set also features Pete (I have a Pete collection that I will cover at some point), Popotto (I think this character was created for the Robo-D line--not sure on that), Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh. I have seen other sets with Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse and Stitch.
Wow, bizarre....ESPECIALLY the Bambi figure! But also very cool!
ReplyDeleteYep, of all the characters to turn into a robot, they decided on Bambi?!? But I do like it!
ReplyDeleteI love stuff like this!! I SO want to get a bunch of Kubrick figs, but I'm trying to scale my collection down right now and narrow my focus a bit better. Toy shows are a DANGEROUS for me to visit! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHey Darrin! I love Kubrick figures, but like you, I don't seem to have room for much more in my collection. I also have a black and white Kubrick-like Mickey Mouse collection (featuring Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar and Pete) from Yujin.
ReplyDeleteI usually don't like alternate versions of characters, but I do really like these.
ReplyDeleteMakes one wonder why they didn't choose Pinocchio? Being half-puppet is close to being a robot anyway.
Hey tomh1138! Looking at Disney toys from Japan on Ebay is quite fun. They really have some very creative items. The Robo line is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeletePinocchio would have been great! I know they did more Robo-D character sets, but I haven't seen him yet. You will sometimes see characters never used like the Florida Orange Bird or The Little House!
