Weird Disney capsule toys in HK

capsuleToys

Capsule toys are really popular in Hong Kong, and all over the region you’ll see Japanese capsule machines outside of convenience stores selling various little toys, usually for dangling on your mobile phone.

These little trinkets are usually based on popular anime series, Gundams, video game characters, and food, etc. but one in particular came across as a little bizarre: “Cute & sexy” Minney Mouse Disney panty ornaments. WTF?

If this were Mainland, I would just say “whatever, copyright infringement, nothing to see here” but this is Hong Kong where that sort of thing doesn’t fly as easily. So, either this big distributor is selling knock-off bizarre toys, or Disney has some pretty different rules for its IP in Asia.
