I’ve collected two 8” inch smiling Stitch plush, one stays at home and one is always in the car ready for my next adventure. Then there’s stickers, washcloths, two kids large t-shirts I’m happy to say fit and a keychain. I'm really fond of the Stitch boinger. Stitch is wearing a hawaiian shirt and glasses and has a spring in his midsection that causes him to shake around like a bobble doll. He’s awesome. He's a great blend of the impish almost dangerous side of Stitch and the fun-loving side. Soon he’ll be sitting on my desk. There’s an Elvis Stitch playset I’m keeping my eye out for and Stitch on a Big Wheel. In fact I’ll probably stop by my Disney Store later today to see if they’ve got those yet. Soon a limited edition soundtrack will be released with lenticular cover art. The local Disney Store says to expect it around June 4th but its also available on DisneyStore.com. It is the same price as the non-lenticular soundtrack and is listed as a Disney retail exclusive. There are images of the lenticular art on DisneyStore.com.
Lilo & Stitch magic towels and keychain
This weekend I got together with fellow Stitch-aholic Kim and we trekked over to Paradise Pier and squished pennies. They offer three different images one with Lilo, one with Stitch and one with the both of them. Now I must admit that I'm not a completist. I only pressed two of three dies, and while I love Stitch and Elvis I haven't purchased the plush featuring Stitch in the Elvis jumpsuit. I'm not sure why. In fact it has many of my friends baffled they thought for sure I'd snatch that one right up. Based on all the stuff I bought so far I know its hard to believe but I do buy from the heart. I only pick up what connects with me, items that remind me of a moment from the film or an aspect of the character that I adore.
My favorite is Aloha Stitch which has attitude and carries on a basic conversation with you. He tells knock knock jokes and responds to select questions. What’s really fun is he has good answers and naughty answers. For example when his badness level is low and you ask, “Are you hungry?” He says, “Coconut cake and coffee, please” but when his badness level is high he says, “Not anymore, I ate your dinner” and then laughs wickedly. On Sunday Laura (another Stitch-aholic) discovered Build-a-Bear's boardshorts fit Aloha Stitch and now he is properly attired for summertime fun in his new shorts and brightly colored lei.
So now I’m counting down the days to Lilo & Stitch. In fact, I’ve added it to my front page Countdown feature here on LaughingPlace.com - only 24 days left. I have tickets to see it opening weekend at the El Capitan Theatre however I know now that I’ll head out to Downtown Disney on opening day to see Stich & Lilo, oops, I mean Lilo & Stitch. I’ll be wearing a Hawaiian shirt (keeping my fingers crossed they release a Stitch themed one like they did the flamingo in Fantasia 2000) and carrying Stitch.
