I searched a few different ways to see if any similar topic existed, but Didn't see anything. Who collects other Disney Collectibles besides Enchanted Tiki Room merchandise? Aside from my ETR collection, I have quite a few Pirates of the Caribbean pieces, most of which came from the POTC Anniversary event back in 2000
Not from the event, but still non-tiki room collectibles:
I have much more stuff to post, and am currently getting around to photograph my stuff...Until then, who else has Disneyland collectibles other than Tiki Room? [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2010-01-09 01:52 ] |

Cool deal on the picture books!...Brotha, you aren't the only one wishing to return to the "heyday" of Disneyland! Seeing Louis Jordan play at the Plaza Pavillion or Louis Armstrong playing in New Orleans Square would have been an incredible experience, as well as seeing the Tahitian Terrace show! |

Hey Jeff, I used to see the Ventures play Friday nights in the summer at the Carnation Cafe stage in the early eighties. We would get hammered on martinis at the Dizzyland hotel bar and take the monorail over and dance the nite away... |

Here is another POTC item I own...It is a replica of the Pirates Attraction poster that you see passing through the Tunnel entry at the front of the park. This was also picked up during the POTC event back in 2000. The thing is so big, I haven't been able to save enough cash to get it framed, let alone figure out where to hang it! I'm also going to put myself on blast...hahaha...I have 2 collectible "Action Figures"...:::dolls:::...lmao, yea yea, so what!?...It's not like I play or played with them...See them tomorrow... the best "Action Figures" ever....

That is a cool looking mug, John!...Another possible sales location, was the original "Pieces O' Eight" souveneir shop at the exit of the POTC ride. It used to have a mini arcade with a couple pirate shooting games, fortune red fortune teller, and the personalized pirate coin machine, that you could put up to 16 or so characters/numbers on a piece of eight. The coins were very similar to the coins that used to be glued to the rocks, inside the ride at the treasure area. Here as promised, my "action Figs"...hah The Hook Doll is a Limited Edition Masters of Malice, with deluxe clothing, and is extremely detailed. The "Captain of the Wicked Wench" doll is my all time favorite character from the ride, who has since been replaced by Barbossa in the POTC attraction. To me, the original Captain, aka Blackbeard, had much more character, and his one liners were badazz! I do miss that part of the ride immensely, and wish there was better photos, posters, or any other collectible of Blackbeard aboard the Wicked Wench for collectors. They do have a WDDC figurine, but it just doesn't capture his look... Now onto my other Disney items. I'll start with a vintage cardboard cut-out record set (78's) called "Your Trip To Disneyland", manufactured by Mattel in 1954-1955ish...Considered a Musical Map, as the records take you through each of the lands. When unfolded, it spans 41 inches long, and over 14 inches in height. The five records are "Intro to Disneyland","Tomorrowland","Fantasyland","Frontierland", and "Adventureland"...It also has cut out characters similar to paper dolls. each record plays a few minutes long(i have mp3s of it). I'll have a few more things soon... [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2009-03-12 22:46 ] |

Oh, I love that record set, it's beautiful! I really drool over all that old-skool Disneyland stuff. I remember the old Pieces of Eight store with the wooden shooting games...great stuff. |

Man...If you remember Pieces O' eight, do you remember the Country Bear arcade with the Haunted Mansion shooting game??? It was all black lit, and fluorescent paint, with the wooden rifle...All mechanical too! I used to play the hell outta those games! Even had the mechanical bear who climed the tree, and you had to shoot him off before he reached the top! haha I wish I had pictures of those! |

I have been collecting Cheshire Cat stuff for about 25 years. This is a small part of my collection which I displayed at the San Diego County Fair last summer. The big stuff had to stay at home. I got a second place ribbon :) |

Jeff, the two pirate shooter games were located in the pirates arcade, which was a section inside the Pieces of eight store, if I'm not mistaken...Check out this link... catmomma....Nice collection there!,Congrats on the 2nd place winning...I'll bet you wouldn't mind getting your hands on "the mirror" inside Disneyland park! Located inside the "Mad Hatter" shop, there is a mirror behind the cash registers that every 30 seconds-1min or so, show the Cheshire cat, and then disapears again...

I finally got around to taking more pictures of my Disneyana... The Walt Disney World book on top row as well as the pictorial souvenier next to it(right) were mine from childhood. The white book from 1965, and both The First 30 years, and First Quarter Century books were obtained on ebay. And finally, a BIG Thank You goes to TC'er leleliz, who found and sent me "The Magic of Disneyland and Walt Disney World" by Valerie Childs. Totally cool, and Mahalos for the thought! She also included a kick ass postcard of Skull Rock, Disneyland. A few more things coming soon from my collection including a "Good Luck from Disneyland Horseshoe", and a few more items. |

I just found a copy of "A Pictorial Souvenier of Walt Disney's Disneyland ca. Mid-1980's" in my wifes parent's cellar. A day fondly remember by my wife as the day she met Minnie Mouse and by her Communist parents as the day they were dragged into the very heart of American Cultural Imperialism. |

Indeed there was once a Pirates Arcade - with amazing Pirate themed, retrofitted arcade games designed by Sam McKim, and partially assembled by the WED model shop. Sam's son Matt, very nicely let me come over and take some pictures of a few of the machines his dad saved from the trash heap after they shut down the arcade, and turned it into the Pieces Of Eight retail location. Fortune Red was the only machine that survived the transition... Here are some pics: You should see some of the wacky concepts for other games he came up with as well! Shooting rats deserting a sinking ship, a Mermaid prize grab, attacking crabs, hanging your own Pirate from the rafters - amazing stuff! He's one of my favorite artists, and a big influence on the Pirate's Lair map I did a few years back...

Chris, those are incredible shots! I remember playing the Capn Black game. Most of these games were Black light backlit, and everything inside that you shot was painted in dayglow or flourescent paints. Do most of those games still have the backglass, or did someone snatch them off of the games before Sam could rescue them? I am very glad to know they did not wind up getting trashed, but I would have guessed they were burried somewhere backstage, or relocated to Burbank in some archival storage. I wonder who would have obsoleted the games into trash in the first place!? Also, I've always wondered about the mechanics of these games. Do you know how exactly the shooting games worked? Were they light controlled hits, or by physical hits from steel bearings that shot from inside the case?(the gun mainly used for visual effect, but also steered and aimed the hidden steel bearing shooter below, and sunk just out of the eyes view)? I cant remember either way....lol Just to name a few...McKim, Davis, Crump, Atencio, Mueller, and Coats, are my favorite Disneyland Imagineers, and have my full fledged respect(s). Thanks for sharing your images, as they brought back some mighty strong memories, and I can almost imagine a smell of nostalgia in that garage, where the games are now retired! Kinda like the unique smell of POTC itself! :D [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2009-06-15 21:26 ] |

The games came with about 1/2 the backglass... The others were long gone, unfortunately... I have a little Quicktime movie I took of the animation - but can't figure out how to upload it here! |

Hasn't anybody heard of PM's or emails? Buncha Chatty Kathys. Judging by the title of the thread, GROG thought this was about posting pics of Disneyland collectibles and collections other than Enchanted Tiki Room stuff. GROG have Disney crap, but it art and animation stuff, not Disneyland crap. |

Bid on these on ebay, not thinking I was going to win them. Salt and Pepper shakers featuring the mark Twain and Sailing ship Columbia. Had original stoppers entact and original price tag, in box with cover. $9.99 flawless. |

Dug out some more stuff. The first is a large heavy, cast resin (or some material) model of the Tomorrowland Rocket, one of my favorite finds. Got it in D-Land about 2000. Haven't seen very many. If you know any more info on it, let me know. |

I wonder if that would be a good trip to the moon, or a bad trip! haaha...that is pretty unique, I must say... I saw these sheets at raves in the early 90s, but the tabs were always apart and ready for sales...Better not handle that without gloves. :lol: |

It was a shame when Mr. Toad was removed from DisneyWorld and replaced by...Winnie the Pooh :( Especially sucked when you are on the Pooh ride and it breaks down..and you are stuck listening to Pooh say over and over and over again "It's going to be a blustery day" smiles innocently |
