Now there's something for the animatronics people at Disney World to play with.

It just has to be one of the days where ANN has both something absolutely hilarious worth sharing, and the website also just happens to be plastered with cringe worthy boobies for the win bullshit. Strike Witches' ads were less obtrusive than this shit, c'mon

Now that is just hilarious for the House of Mouse! I would love it if this becomes a part of Kingdom Hearts though or any other future installment of Epic Mickey too.

I could actually see myself buying something like this (which would be my first purchase of Disney's characters since the first Kingdom Hearts game was released). It's neat and unusual. ^_^;

Wow. That looks pretty impressive, I must say. If I was a PVC/action figure buyer, I'd eat this up.

Go go Useful Engines
Really really Useful Engines!



Horrible ditty aside, I think it's pretty clear the designer of that particular toy didn't know anything beyond the character designs - who would make James(or is that supposed to be Red Thomas? Would that make him a Soviet Machine Under Red Father?) the centerbot/engine?

Come to think of it, I had a James model track set when I was younger - I think it even produced smoke, but I had a non-character engine I could be conflating it with. What's certain is that I never had any of the other engines to have him combine with, though.

Seeing this now, I'm getting the feeling that not only could Disney announce a hand-drawn animated Mickey Mouse movie sometime in the future, but they could also announce a new TV anime with Mickey & friends. Who knows? Maybe this giant robot might play a minor part for a potential Mickey anime series. Anime hyper

Oh gawd, I saw that and my first initial reaction was "eww" but then I'm like oh this is cool. From horse mechanized Evas to mechanizing Disney. I don't want to think of what they will come up with next.
