I can believe you've pluto bobble-head for years - you can see how he's faded from the sun (the only part that hasn't appears to be underneath)...

Thanks boilerbabe! I try to add 1 to the collection after every WDW trip. I wish I could put an antenna topper on but my 4Runner doesn't have an antenna lol. Len and I put one on our moms car but it either kept falling off in the car wash of people were stealing it.

Mindflipper, pluto has been around for many miles. He definitely doesn't tan when left out in the sun :D I should write to Disney and see if they send me a replacement!

Ahh so that is where Mark goes whenever I run into the Disney Store. You did such a great job hiding that! The pluto bobble head is something I wish I had one of too!

I have looked at every gift shop and never saw it again. The only car accessories I have seen are license plate frames, antenna toppers, and various decals.

You should ask when you are down there this time. Maybe they have them but don't have them out?

I think we have already tried contacting merchandising about it years ago. It is unfortunately no longer made and available.

Oh, that is too bad. Never hurts to ask though, maybe they have one or two way up high on a shelf gathering dust that were meant to be living in the grand state of New Jersey!

Aren't Bobbleheads still popular? I'm surprised that they don't make them anymore. Amy is right; probably some collecting dust in an outlet store somewhere...

I saw a lady today, as I was coming out of a store, she passed by my car, looked at the plate, and backed up to read it again. She didn't smile so I figured she either wasn't a Disney fan or is a real stickler for spelling :roll:
(my plates are spelled DIZNEE)
