Disney Doorables Movie Moments is a new series, and looks like it will be continuing in the future. Each Movie Moments box includes two exclusive Disney Doorables figures and a display scene. I am not sure if the film will coincide with the character, or if this is pretend play.

Disney Doorables Storage Case with three exclusive Doorables — this is not new, but it’s very useful and holds a ton of Doorables. Check out my unboxing video on a series four case. These cases hold 40+ characters when placed inside with the inserts. You can remove the inserts and free up some more space. You can also display that nicely using these removable adhesive dots that I found on Amazon, so you can create a nice collector aesthetic. 

The price varies on Amazon, but you can snag it for as low as $16 sometimes. Just Play's cases are truly the best!

Disney Doorables Sets Holiday 2022

Perfect for the holidays is the holiday themed Disney Doorables Collection Peek that includes eight figures, and it is Mickey's Christmas Carol themed. I am so stoked for this series because this is my all-time favorite Christmas movie to watch. I would guess the eight characters included are Ebenezer Scrooge (Scrooge McDuck),  Jacob Marley (Goofy- most likely in chains and as a ghost), Bob Cratchit (Mickey Mouse), Ghost of Christmas Past (Jiminy Cricket), Ghost of Christmas Future (Pete), Ghost of Christmas Present (Willie the Giant), Tiny Tim (Morty Mouse), Mrs. Cratchit (Minnie Mouse), and possibly Isabelle (Daisy Duck) as the additional mystery figure.

Get ready to turn your living room into a bonafide sports arena! Nintendo Switch Sports will be released April 29, 2022, and is available as a digital download or the physical version that comes with a leg strap. 

Launching April 29, 2022, Nintendo Switch Sports will launch with six games Badminton, Soccer, Bowling, Volleyball, and Chambara. You can play against players at home or up your game and go worldwide with players around the world! Create your avator in Spocco Square to personalize your experience. You can also play and rank your performance to earn in-game rewards. Nintendo Switch Sports is going to be a totally different gaming experience from previous Sports titles on previous Nintendo consoles, so we are all in for a real treat!

Nintendo Switch Sports launches with six games, and a seventh game, Golf, is slated to release this fall. 

Badminton features a classic match game with a chill volley back and forth. Soccer requires you to use the leg strap while you’re in kick mode, but while in game mode, you have to use the joycons to navigate the game. Keep in mind, if you already have Ring Fit, you can use the leg strap that was included in that game. 

KEVIN! LEGO GROUP ANNOUNCES LEGO IDEAS HOME ALONE LEGO SET + Celebrates Kevins Across the World

LEGO Group announces LEGO® Ideas Home Alone set, a fun search for Kevin LEGO Minifigure contest-- all just in time for the Disney Plus reboot, ‘Home Sweet Home Alone,” which is set to be released on November 12.

I don't think anyone could have imagined a set like this, but here we are! LEGO announced their latest set LEGO Home Alone McCallister Family. This iconic Illinois house echoes memories of "We slept in!," and "You're sleeping in the attic." .... "With me." When I was a kid, Home Alone was the ultimate revenge film against the bad guys.

Now that I am a parent, I can understand the fear of Kate McCallister, and her determination to take a plane and then hitch a ride with a polka band during a snow storm to get back to her son. The McCallister family is just full of kids, and I find it oddly relatable to actually overlook a child being present. All in all, the film Home Alone is iconic and sewn in the fabric of my childhood and the childhood of many other '80s and '90s kids; it is totally worthy to be in LEGO brick form.

The LEGO® Ideas Home Alone set was designed by Ukraine-based LEGO fan Alex Storozhuk. In addition to the house, the set includes a LEGO minifigure version of the Home Alone icon, Kevin McCallister plus four other minifigure characters from the movie: small town crooks Harry and Marv, Kevin's mom Kate and the creepy old neighbor/hero, Marley. 

The set includes several distinct rooms noting key features from the film that all fans will love! Enjoy multiple levels of play and payback where Kevin's booby traps span from basement to even the attic! At an impressive 3,957 pieces, the LEGO Ideas Home Alone set now sits as the largest ever LEGO Ideas set.  

Blue’s Clues & You Story Time Now Available on DVD + Blues Clues Top Toys for Holiday 2021!

Have you seen the new Blue's Clues & You Story Time DVD yet? This special edition 2-disc set will pull at your heart strings, and will be the perfect addition to your DVD cabinet! Find it on Amazon, now!

It’s my CLUE HEAVEN! Who doesn't love Blues Clues - even from 25 years ago, Blue's Clues revolutionized how kids interact with television. Educational television wasn't just for puppets anymore, real people solving mysteries and asking the help of their miniature viewers paved the way for the golden age of kid's programming.

Blue's Clues was at the forefront of this educational revolution, and now Blue's Clues celebrates 25 years! Sure, Steve and Joe are gone, but Josh fills in the space very nicely, and I quite enjoy watching with my four-year-old.

We received an amazing package from Blues Clues and Nickelodeon celebrating the release of the new DVD, Blue’s Clues & You Story Time. Fans of all ages will enjoy this educational and memorable walk down memory lane. Including episodes of Steve, Joe, and Josh, fans spanning across 25 years will enjoy this collection.
