Just because I didn't want to start three separate threads, I figured I'd put them all here.
1. A new Tomorrowland big fig was released last week which shows an amalgamation of Tomorrowland attractions, past and present. Here's a picture (http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/tland-bigfig.jpg). You can't really see too well, but that's the Astro Orbiter in the back right, and on the building in the front right is a Star Tours vehicle. Various parts of the big fig (including the House of the Future) light up. I think the price was $195. Others seem to really love the big fig. Doesn't do that much for me, mostly because a mishmash isn't my thing.
2. We were in Fantasyland today and noticed that the area where the White Witch from Narnia used to be has been turned into a villains photo op, complete with a cool arch. Here's a picture when the Evil Queen was out (http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/villainsphoto.jpg). I love the detail on the supports. Here's a closeup of one of the supports (http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/villainsphoto2.jpg), where you can better see Maleficent's raven, the face from the Magic Mirror, and the snakes and dragon.
3. I believe some of these accessories have been out for a while, but we saw them today and thought they were funny. Engine Ear Toys at DCA has parts you can buy for Mr. Potato Head. You can now dress him up as Ariel (really just the hair and the fin) (http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/merpotato.jpg) or dress him up as Tinkerbell (hair, wings and shoes) (http://www.colddeadfish.net/images/DLR/taterbell.jpg).
