These are kinda cool and definitely a cut above most merch, and pretty reasonably priced. Just saw this randomly, so not exactly sure where it’s being sold but somewhere at Disneyland.

Today, Jim Hill started a new podcast titled "I Want That". First episode mentioned the popcorn buckets, and Anaheim merchandise vs Tokyo.
Not parks specific, but could be interesting for any Disney merchandise collectors.
Here's the first episode (should be free to listen): I Want That Jim Hill Bandcamp

That's a hard one to find. Nice going.
You re making me want to go home, dust off my Super Nintendo and N64 and play some Donkey Kong Country and Banjo Kazooie.

You're making me want to watch Ghostbusters II where Louis asks Janine if she wants to play Super Mario Brothers and they use that original Nintendo controller to pilot the Statue of Liberty. Oh, wait. I always want to do that anyway.

WDW has a pet accessory display in many of the bigger stores. We picked this up at MouseGear last night, I presume DL has/will get(?)
(The “model” is Kylie, our Shepherd/Chow mix.)

Not official merchandise- but Fandom productions is selling mini Matterhorn models signed by Bob Gurr- limited run of 500.
Not super impressed with the paint job, but since Disney refuses to sell models of their famous attractions, I'm gonna take what I can get. I mean you'd think small $50 resin models of the Matterhorn, castle, Main Street station, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder would sell incredibly well. Universal sells little $30 plastic Hogwarts Castles, it's absurd Disney isn't doing the same.

I think their merchandise litmus test is, "Will it appeal to the ten and younger crowd?" or "Will people like to Instagram themselves with this item?" If it doesn't fall into one of those categories, then it's not getting made.

Basically. If it isn't a popcorn bucket or Funko Pop- it doesn't get made!
When I was at the park in December, I had an interesting conversation with a Disneyana CM- great guy. I expressed my disappointment with the current merchandise situation, saying that I'm a Disneyland fan first and foremost, not a Disneyland Resort, DCA, or Disney film fan (though idolize the golden age/early renaissance era animated features). He actually agreed, and said he has many of the same complaints about the merchandise. Of course, I also shared my thoughts on Imagineering and Galaxy's Edge- and he both agreed, and elaborated on my points. Said that they were shocked when Imagineering pulled the attraction posters from the kiosks, since they were huge sellers.
I'm coming to terms that Disneyland as an entity isn't Disney's focus anymore- more and more it's just a place to advertise the current films and hawk inexpensive plastic buckets to AP's with more money than taste. Which is a shame, since as Disneyland's image in the public persona continues to change from a classy place for families to spend a vacation, to an overly expensive, overly crowded place with activities primarily geared towards young children- it could really start hurting decades from now when Disneyland's brand is so diluted, it's no different than Universal in the public eye.

imagineeringdisney.com has a small online shop- just about everything is sold out, but they do have an interview with Admiral Joe Fowler. I haven't heard it yet- an hour long, mp3 download, $3. Here's a direct link:

I have seen these accessories at DLR. Last time we were there they had Haunted Mansion harnesses, but they don't make them Kricket & Jaeger's size.

Want a Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge lightsaber from Disneyland? Be prepared to pay
Visitors will be able to buy custom-made versions of the Jedi weapons when the new land opens in June.
www.ocregister.com
The price of the the hilt, or handle, will be around $109 while the cost of the blade will be $49 depending on the style of lightsaber purchased, according to the Associated Press. Disneyland officials said lightsaber prices are still being finalized for Galaxy’s Edge.
The $158 lightsaber price tag would be costlier than a $149 single-day ticket at the Anaheim theme park on the busiest “peak” day. And considerably more expensive than the $20 plastic toy lightsabers sold in Tomorrowland.<<

So SWGE will have all the overpriced Star Wars items that look like they're actually worth something. while Tomorrowland will be the home of overpriced Star Wars items that look cheaply made like a $10,000 Darth Vader with a birthday table cloth cape?Want a Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge lightsaber from Disneyland?
