Disney Doorables - Squish'Alots Poppin Pinball

 I wasn't expecting to have another Doorables post this month but I ran into these Squish'Alots Pinball sets and here we are!

 

 I'm not so big on the Squish Doorables, I prefer the regular, non-squishy ones. But here, they aren't the main focus. As with most Doorables, these are blind boxed but I keep the cheat code website bookmarked on my phone for cases just like this!

 

Each box has one of 8 mini-pinball machines and I grabbed the Nightmare Before Christmas one.

 

 

The set comes with one regular size Squish that goes on top of the scoreboard. 

The machine stands about 4.5" tall so it's not a good fit as a prop for your 6" or 3.75" figures...unless you want to have your 3.75" figures pretend this is a Hercules machine. All of the "cabinet art" is stickers that come with it. I love that they included the coin box detail on the sticker. It just helps sell it more for me.

 

It comes with four balls. Three of them have itty-bitty squishy characters and the fourth has a couple additional stickers to decorate your machine.

 

 And yes, it actually works! To release a ball, you press the back button and then you can use the flippers to hit it into the hole in the center. The ball then rolls out a chute right to you.

 

 The score 10,291,993 is an Easter Egg for when the movie was originally released: 10/29/1993. The other sets aren't really any I'm interested in, maybe Alice in Wonderland, but I'd definitely pick up a Wreck-It-Ralph or Tron one.It may not get much play, but it's a really fun display piece!

R2-WRWLF Star Wars Figure

 From the moors of a far off planet comes R2-WRWLF!

 

 For the past several years, Disney has been releasing themed droid figures around Halloween and Christmas. These are park exclusive but can usually be found on ShopDisney also. You can see R6-W1CH and R7-FNG in my 2022 Countdown post.

 

 This droid hails from Zanbar which is a moon "marked by stretches of swampy vegetation pierced by towering plateaus of striated rock." Not sure why they picked this one other than it having swampy vegetation. Outside a couple episodes of the Clone Wars animated series, it hasn't really appeared anywhere else.

 

 It's a little off seeing a brown R2 unit but between the flannel, the dark eye, and the ears, it works!

Bicycle Classic Halloween Playing Cards

 Halloween themed decks of playing cards used to feel like a novelty but now they seem to be putting out more every year. I guess they know there's suckers like me out there that have to have them!

 

 One of this year's new offerings is the Classic Halloween deck from Bicycle. These are standard poker size cards but as you can see, what's not standard is the inclusion of a third Joker! It's and added bonus for me as a Headless Horseman collector that he makes an appearance. The card back is simple black and white and nicely incorporates ghosts, pumpkins, and spiders in their webs.

 

 The numerical cards are fairly standard but the court cards have fun split designs. Jacks are animals (familiars?), Queens an assortment of women, and Kings various monsters. I really like the cartoon artwork in this deck because it reminds me of Disney's Skeleton Dance.
