According to rumors this official Disney club is meant to appeal to hardcore Disney fans. We first reported on the club with the Are You 23? series of posters we've shown over the past couple of months. Below are a couple of the pins that will apparently be offered.</p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://laughingplace.com/files/latest/20090223.jpg" mce_src="http://laughingplace.com/files/latest/20090223.jpg" width="400" height="400"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://laughingplace.com/files/latest/20090223b.jpg" mce_src="http://laughingplace.com/files/latest/20090223b.jpg" width="400" height="400"> </p>

But Disney is already in my back pocket with Mattel's CARS diecast toy line; that collection is growing exponentially of late, with hundreds already available, and hundreds more to come. Now their about to launch the John Lasseter signature series...$20.00 for basically a Hot Wheels-sized car.
