Tinker Bell Mix Max Plus Media Player from Digital Blue at 70% Off
With Tinktober coming to a close at an alarming rate, it’s worth taking a look at the Tinker Bell Mix Max Plus Media Player from Digital Blue. With 1GB of internal memory (expandable up to 4 GB via SD), it boasts a 2.8″ 320 X 240 LCD screen and plays video, audio and displays images along with Disney Mix Clips and Disney Max Clips. The best part is it’s available directly from the manufacturer at 70% off the original retail value of $99.99, so it can be yours today for just $29.99. Perfect for those not quite old enough to handle an iPhone, the Mix Max players have some pretty decent reviews on Amazon but you can only find the Tinker Bell version from the Amazon Marketplace for a current minimum of $50.
Pictured below is the back, but you can see the front (which features a Mickey-shaped control pad), get more information or get your hands on one while they last by clicking here.

Stitch LCD Display and USB Humidifier
I was so born in the wrong country. From 2dayBlog via SlipperyBrick, the Japan’s Stitch LCD 20″ display. The display is 1680×1050 pixels, allows for an HDMI connection and more. Stitch’s mouth opens so you can access the display’s controls and he’s full 360 so you can see the rest of him clinging on to the monitor in the back. See here for more details and photos.
SlipperyBrick also covers this incredibly cute but expensive USB Stitch humidifier which works in a very unique way.
