Valentine Heart Set... UNcanceled?


The Jessica Valentine set is now available through Disney Shopping after a brief debacle over the past two days. It now states on their website that the pins will not ship out for 2 weeks.

This may be your chance to pick one up while you can.

Also - Yesterday on Disney Shopping many pins that were said to be "lost" by Disney Auctions were showing up for sale at very low prices. Jessica and Roger Mechanical Jumbo (by the moon), and Jessica Back To School were available for a very short time. Maybe we will see the Jessica Movie Star Jumbo? Here's Hoping!

Jessica Valentine Heart Set Canceled


It seems there are problems from Disney Auctions mixing with Disney Shopping for the recent release of the Jessica Rabbit Valentine set. All pin orders have been cancelled and according to Disney the pins are not available at this time. Earlier reports by Cast Members for Disney Shopping said the sets were Sold Out, which did not seem possible. Cancelation letters state the pin sets as LE 200 - however the website states LE 1000.

Callers were instructed to call back in coming weeks as it seems the sets are on backorder.

And in an odd twist, some of the pins "lost" by Disney Auctions have shown up today for sale on Disney Shopping through what they claim is a "special arrangement."

The Jessica neon sign removed from Pleasure Island


In what must be the most disappointing news in a while, it is 100% confirmed that the Jessica Rabbit neon sign (once part of the Jessica's store, then moved to an entrance of Pleasure Island - welcoming guests for years) has been removed.

It was part of Disney's remodeling plan and the entire West End Stage Jessica sat atop was taken down, along with the Pleasure Island Tonight sign.

It's unknown what happened to the sign or if it will show up again.

Jessica arrives at Hot Topic stores


Got to a Hot Topic store near you, or www.hottopic.com, and see two NEW Jessica Rabbit shirts they offer. One shirt for women is in white with Jessica on the front saying, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way." The other is for anyone, in black with a full picture of Jessica and her name in red above - there is no question now - Jessica Rabbit is hitting the mainstream!

Jessica Rabbit 2006 Review


It's that time of year again. Christmas is right around the corner and Jessica once again filled the months with more merchandise than we could imagine. Over one hundred thirty items have been released so far, which is more than any previous year. Of course a bulk of the merchandise is pins. This year Jessica has spent lots of time at the beach, dancing, visited New York, has dressed like Minnie Mouse, a cheerleader, a Native American, a she-devil, vampires and of all things a french maid. I always knew it would be changed forever if Disney had Jessica dressed as a French maid. It's something I never thought I'd see Disney do.

What I mean by "changed" is that the day is long over for Jessica being an obscure or underused character.

Disney Auctions ceased to be in September and while Disney claims they are just taking a break, many feel the closing was due to poor quality pins and service. Toward the end people were bidding on pins only to get a letter stating the pin was not available. The most infamous being Jessica Rabbit as Marilyn Monroe, in which Disney stated the pins were lost, yet one of the pins was given out as part of a prize pin package at a Disney event.
