Just a few days ago, Stephanie sent us a picture of Pairs 2 Jrs on sale at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Today, Austin sent in a picture from D-Street of all 4 Pairs on display and a sign stating they will be officially released on April 27.

The lineup includes Dopey, Pluto, Cheshire Cat and Minnie Mouse. Each Disney character Jr comes packaged with a colorful pattern designed Jr for $16.95. It is a really interesting twist on character designs and I enjoy the color pallets chosen. They are fun as Jrs and work well at this smaller size. I really like the way the Cheshire Cat's crazy face really pops out at you. The pattern pairs don't appeal to me personally, but they also work well at this size and for what this series is probably designed for... your average guest picking up an accessory to hang on a bag or key chain. Not to say these will not find a way into some collector's displays, but I don't believe that is the target audience. Especially considering the secondary pairs are not all Disney themed. I know we at DV always call for more pattern based Urban 3" designs, but these fall short (pun kind of intended because size has something to do with this comment) of our favorite Urban patterns. Will Disney Pairs be hanging in your display case anytime soon?
