The Incredibles - Disney Store "Syndrome" Talking Plush

Yesterday I posted about my fabulous Mr Incredible talking plush that I found at the car boot sale a few weeks ago. Well, I also got this talking Syndrome plush at the same time!

Like Mr Incredible, he is from the Disney Store originally and does have a Disney stamp on his cape. He also still has his paper tag but its a bit battered.

As is typical with Disney Store plush, he is really lovely and soft and his cape is nice and shiny. His face is pretty authentic too and they captured the shape of his hair really well also.

I wasn't convinced by the voice on the Mr Incredible plush but Syndrome sounds much more authentic. He talks by pressing a button in one of his hands and you can watch the video below to hear him saying all his phrases which are:

• "Who's super now?"
• "Wait 'til those super's meet my newest invention, hahahahaha!"
• "My name is not Buddy! I'm Syndrome!"
• "I'll never give up"
• "Yeah, yeah. Quite down!"
• "I'm thinking of a genius plan"

The Incredibles - Disney Store "Mr Incredible" Talking Plush

I haven't shared any of my The Incredibles stuff yet so thought I'd share one of my most recent pieces which I found at a car boot sale a few weeks ago.

He is from the Disney Store originally and has the stamp on the back of one of his thighs. I'm not sure when he would have been released. I don't think it would have been when the film first came out as I'm not entirely sure they were doing the stamps back then, I think they are a more recent thing. Whenever it was though, he is pretty awesome.

He is quite big and nice and soft. The red is really bright and I think they captured his face pretty well. He is in excellent condition for a secondhand toy. 

He talks by pressing one of his hands and says the following phrases:

• "Have no fear, Mr Incredible is here"
• "This looks like a job for Mr Incredible"
• "Someone's in trouble, lets go!"
• "Oh yeah baby! Back in action"
• "Its showtime!"

The video below shows him saying all the phrases (please excuse my bandaged hand/arm!). I'm not entirely convinced by his voice but its good enough :)

Lego Disney Minifigure Series

Anyone who loves Disney and loves Lego will know that Lego recently released a new Disney character series of their popular blind bag minifigures. There are 18 figures in the series to collect, including some based on Pixar characters.

I have been lucky enough to complete my set recently after finding someone selling the ones I needed locally (and cheaper than retail!). I had bought a few in stores but only got one double (Mickey Mouse) as my friend Emma is a whizz at feeling the bags to make sure you get what you want ;)

The characters available are Stitch, Pizza Planet Alien, Buzz Lightyear, Aladdin, Genie, Maleficent, Alice in Wonderland, Cheshire Cat, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Mr. Incredible, Syndrome, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Ursula and Ariel.

 

Aside from the Pixar ones (and of them, my favourite are definitely Buzz and the Alien), my favorites from the set are Stitch, Alice and Cheshire Cat. I really love the Maleficent but I am kind of disappointed that they didn't do pairs for her and Stitch as all the other characters are in couples. However, perhaps they will do their corresponding pairs in a future release. Now I have the set, I really want to find 2 more Aliens so I have three ;)
