In celebration of July’s 2010 MLB All-Star Week, Disney Consumer Products and Major League Baseball Properties are rolling out a line of Mickey Mouse collectible statuettes, apparel and merchandise.
The 7.5-inch commemorative statuettes, produced by Forever Collectibles, feature logos of 30 MLB teams, as well as American League and National League logos. Four other statuettes feature All-Star Game designs. The line is available now at MLB Stadium shops, Walgreens and Dick’s Sporting Goods, as well as at MLB.com and Disneystore.com. In support of the range, 36 life-sized statues will be placed as landmarks throughout Southern California leading up to the 2010 All-Star Game.
Other MLB Mickey merchandise, including caps, T-shirts, sweatshirts, drinkware, pins, throws and beach towels, will be available in May.
“Baseball and Mickey Mouse really connect families and with the All-Star Game being in our backyard this year, it made perfect sense to combine the magic of Disney with America’s favorite pastime,” says Stephen Teglas, vice president and general manager of fashion and home for North America at Disney Consumer Products. “We look forward to delighting fans of both brands with our unique products and collectibles.”
