I wonder if that is part of the package deal or if it's extra?

Mickey looks like he's hitting the sauce.

Reminds me of the creepy bootleg versions of popular cartoon characters that wander around Midtown Manhattan.

 

[Bob Saget]

Tacky or not, I'm just glad Mickey is at least getting some sort of exposure outside of the theme park world in this day & age.

This is why I visit WDW, us Brits have lower class rodents!

This is the exact same Mickey you'll find in Hollywood, CA, on Hollywood and Highland.

Oh yeah, it could definitely be worse. The joys of living in two big cities.

We hired a "mouse character" one year for my daughter and niece's combined party. It was so far past horrible that it's funny now. Kids were screaming, my niece cried hysterically, he spoke with a deep voice, and he removed his head before getting into the car to leave.

Good times....

Scarred for life!

No, 2 years of therapy, and I'm good.

I'm calling the police if I see that THING walking around my neighborhood.

I realize that the cheap looking Mickey is a joke to us all. What I don't understand is the fact that no one here seems to be concerned about the guy wearing the pink bow tie and vest. The mouse I could live with as long as the costume remains on. The guy on the left? There's no escaping that reality.

It was the only outfit he had that matched his yellow man-purse.....

hmm, not sure i'd let him near my kids (if i had any!). maybe he wanted be a 'friend' of the characters at disney but had to settle for mickeys evil drunk brother instead.
