New Mickey and Minnie heads - how we feeling?

[brb1006]

There's a video of the Storybook Express (just the train and a character caboose with Stitch, Rafiki, Timon Mr. & Mrs. Incredible, and Marie onboard).

And I've seen a picture circulating of Chip, Dale and Donald and to me all the above look the same.

And her brothers Toulouse and Berlioz

Thank you, they look awesome in motion. Surprised that Goofy and Pluto have seen no changes.

For some reason I still have a feeling these won't be coming to all the parks. I remember reading that this park is kind of separate from all the others and kind of it's own entity. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not sure about WDW, but Disneyland's expecting to use them once the Diamond Celebration ends. One really important difference is that they're quite a bit lighter in weight. I guess they could cancel the rest of the order, but so far they don't have a reason to.

The new look will roll out to every resort worldwide in phases. Variance in character portrayal only happens infrequently - TDL, for example, uses a head for Fairy Godmother to avoid needing another face contract performer. Something like Mickey's look needs to be consistent worldwide, and it will be. Not sure which resort will get them next, but DL is a good bet.

Well, unless they are just using the older costumes for soft opening...We can only wait and see for now....

Right, I'll bet on Goofy, Pluto, and Maybe the dwarfs and Chip and Dale.

Looks good

Looks good

The more I look at him, the more vast of an improvement I see upon the previous version. They need to bring these around the world asap.

Agreed...Also noticing that his body shape is thinner than his previous..

When the head comes to the U.S., it would have to be for both Disneyland and WDW... can't just give it to one. Would ruin the "magic."

They will both get the new look, as I said above, but it is unlikely they will get them at the exact same time.

This is the one thing that DL and WDW have to do at the exact same time. . . . It just has to be done.

No it doesn't. Nobody park hops between DCA and Epcot in the same day. When the new princess looks rolled out, WDW and DLR got them at different times.

It's possible they'll come on the same date, but not likely.

Judging by this drawing for the new meet and greets, the new looks may be coming sooner rather than later as they look EXACTLY like them.

 

[Haymarket2008]

This is a good change. I don't think it's entirely necessary, but it's happened before in the early 90's and it seems to be following the trend of just "refreshing". It's nice. I approve!

I just hope whenever the articulated versions are seen that Minnies eyelashes aren't permanently glued to her head when she blinks. That's always bothered me for some reason. Especially in pictures lol

I love the new heads. The old faces looked really creepy in comparison. Almost like they were looking for their next fix. I was getting definite Gooby and Dolan vibes (google at your own risk for those who aren't familiar with these "comics").

 

[cwoms197]

In regards to these new heads, Im sure that Shanghai Disney is going to be highly promoted during the Christmas Day Parade, so Im assuming that all the heads will have to match by then across the board?

Same for Daisy

 

[tathompson87]

Daisy's articulated versions eyelashes actually move when she blinks. The only problem that I've known of is when Disney Live was on tour the eyelashes were sometimes too heavy and the eyelids wouldn't open back up. There's a video on YouTube of Daisy having to manually open up her eyelids because they wouldn't open up on their own, but Daisys do move unlike Minnie.
