With Thanksgiving and Halloween out of the picture, the next big holiday for some is Christmas and the Medicom x Disney 2011 Christmas Series is already here to kick things off.
The new Medicom x Disney 2011 Christmas Series is kicking off the jolliest season of them all with a few new Bearbricks dressed up in the holiday theme. Of course with the latter involved, Mickey as Santa is an expected move, but Disney will also be including many other faces into the mix. Characters such as Buzz Lightyear, Jack Skellington and Pooh Bear will be in full Bearbrick form dressed in a Christmas motif.
According to Highsnobiety, the entire Medicom x Disney 2011 Christmas Series will go "into a special lottery in Japanese convenience and electronics stores nationwide."
