Here's the brand new DVD box set for the second season of the Stitch! anime from Japan.

The individual DVDs are also available separately, and there's another DVD collection that is evidently just episodes of Stitch canoodling with Angel.

I haven't had a chance to open 'er up yet, but I'm pretty sure there's still no subtitles. Also, if you're in the USA, you'll probably need an all regions DVD player to see this.

More Star Wars Weekends stuffs!

This is probably stuff you've seen before, but repackaged, so as to use more plastic! They are two-packs featuring Stitch and Goofy as respectively, Yoda and Chewie, or the Emperor and Darth Vader.

They're in the middle of Star Wars Weekends time down at Disney World right now, so THAR BE MERCHANDISE! Specifically, since Stitch plays not one but two characters in the Disney crossover universe (Yoda and Emperor Palpatine), we've seen a few Stitchie collectibles lately. So, if you chance by Hollywood Studios in the next few weeks, be on the look out.

These Kooky Klicker pens (yes, that's how they're describing them) have been signed by the people who invented pens (or something), Cody Reynolds and Brian Reese.

Stitch in a can!

Basically, what it says on the title.

This is actually a decent concept: you put a small amount of cooking oil in the container, and this gizmo will turn it into a fine spray. Kind of like an atomizer for perfume. So, you can get by with less oil, less fat, blah blah blah.

According to the reviews on the web site, of course, it doesn't actually work very well. Ah well. At least it's got a cutie Stitch on the bottle!!! So, all your food will be kawaii.

So, this is a Stitch gadget. And it's kawaii. And it's mascot sized. And it's for your cell phone.

All of which, actually, is not terribly out of the ordinary for a Japanese Stitch item. Believe me, I have an entire room crammed full of this stuff.

Why bother with this one? A couple things: I love the design, with Stitch popping over the top to chomp down on the thing. And it's cool that it's a cell phone mascot that actually charges your cell phone (well, supposedly - I've used similar battery charged dealies before, and they were pretty much useless).

This is just another cute plushie from the Japanese Disney store.

Love the detailing on this figure. His chef apron is tied in back, and he's holding a wire whisk.

Obviously, Disney wants you to have a magical day!

Conveniently fits in your palm.

And, yes, it's licensed! If you take a look at the back, you can see the Disney copyright marks. Look for yourself.

And available in pretty colors!!

Do not adjust your camera!

It's red eye Stitch!

Or more specifically, Angry Woebots Vinyl Pulse Colorway Stitch AP.

Not sure how many are in the run. Woe had a total of 16 available on his web site. The main difference with the older edition is, of course, extensive use of red highlights.

Woe autographed him on the butt. And included a little angry panda drawing!

More info from Woe.

I've also included thumbnails of the original release, for compare & contrast purposes.

Here is a prototype of one of the very first plushie Stitches released in the US, the talking interactive Stitch.

Notice that he's put together in pretty much random fabrics (including a dalmatian print on his back!).

He has a batter pack inside, but inserting AA batteries didn't seem to do anything other than make him hum.

As you can also see, there are not tags or copyright marks anywhere.
