Now there is Master Moves Mickey , the latest version of the popular mouse that is one part original Disney plush, one part music and one part dancer. In his latest incarnation, Mickey takes his music and moves to a whole new level.

Master Moves Mickey, affectionately known by his friends as M3, features 15 ultra-cool break dancing moves including the Windmill, the "Mouska" Mix, the Spin Cycle, the Insane Handstand and the Ham Sandwich. Each Mickey move is accompanied by original tracks and funky beats that will likely get children of all ages movin' and groovin'.
While no pixie dust is required, a simple push of Mickey's nose finds the "leader of the club" springing into action for a fun, collaborative dance session complete with eight different songs ranging in style from rap, hip-hop and pop.

Fisher Price, a subsidiary of Mattel, and Disney are dancing M3 into retailers like Target, Toys"R"Us and Walmart this month and he is also available online at Amazon.com. And if the popularity of the previous Dance Star and Rock Star Mickey is any indication, M3 is likely to be a big seller during the upcoming holiday season.

Ok, I think I'm going to stop visiting this site. There's just been way too long a stretch without any actual news being reported.

Those items were hogging the toy shelves at Holiday time with plenty to go around and the Rock Star Mickey is still on the shelves. They cant get rid of them. Tickle me Elmo was like 10 years ago. time to move in.
This is amazing, original, and current with what the kids like. In 1985.
