Mouse Phone totally disregards Mickey trademark

From the same e-tailer that brought you the CECT Wrist comes a not-exactly-Disney-approved handset that looks strangely similar to that really famous rodent. Yes friends, the Mouse Phone makes exactly zero mention of Disney in the description (yet slaps a logo on the inside), undoubtedly plans on paying $0.00 in royalties and even tries to dodge that ever-vigilant legal team by slanting the eyes and throwing on a Mii-style schnoz. The flip-open mobile features GSM connectivity, a 1.3-inch 160 x 128 resolution display, FM tuner, a built-in multimedia player and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Oh, and a wickedly exotic lanyard, too. All that for just £115.74 ($229) -- get one while they're still on sale!

That thing is horrible in every way!

[j_g_puff @ May 28th 2008 7:44AM]

The sooner Disney bans it from existence, the better.

[sk8rpro @ May 28th 2008 10:46AM]

That is the worst thing that has ever happened! Not giving money to the mouse and profiting from it?!

Disney needs as much money as they can get their hands on.

[Ayman @ May 28th 2008 7:37AM]

Yes i can see it
A CEO exec carrying this phone, he will be respected and feared

[gad get @ May 28th 2008 7:40AM]

Feared, anyway.

[gad get @ May 28th 2008 7:39AM]

Uhm, sorry to bust your burbble, but this IS a rip of Mickey. It doesn't even look like Puke-a. And it has the Disney logo inside. Explain that.

[Ayman @ May 28th 2008 7:39AM]

you know when you said Pucca I thought it was a sarcasstic remark on Pickatchu (Pika or Pica) and Puke

then i saw the website... i was not far from the truth

[fred @ May 28th 2008 7:41AM]

It plays MP4 st full screen?

It has a 1.3-inch 160 x 128 resolution display! You can barely play the letter of the alphabet at that level.

[Adam @ May 28th 2008 7:44AM]

lol that logo cracked me up Disnep wot a rip off

[Dan @ May 28th 2008 10:40AM]

That IS the Disney logo you plum

[frankXchange @ May 28th 2008 8:17AM]

I wonder what it would look like with a battery extender attached...?

[Jaiwanjin @ May 28th 2008 8:45AM]

Hey guys, it's not quite the illegal ripoff you may think it is.

On the other website you notice the eyes are slanted, and the wallpaper on the phone is actually of Pucca, gear and videos of which you can find here.

Ok, so they're ripping off Pucca AND Disney now, because Disney obviously has nothing to do with Pucca, a character developed in Korea.

That is until you see that Disney has somehow licensed Pucca and is running its cartoons on TV...

I don't blame anyone for not knowing this, cause I had to look it up myself, and it may be an unlicensed rip off in the end, but it may be legit too. Just thought I'd let you all know.

[Bernhard @ May 28th 2008 9:06AM]

If you look close enough, the logo actually spells "Dissing"

[urbanpeasant @ May 28th 2008 9:32AM]

This is why you should only buy your Disnep merchandise at legitimate retail centers, like Wilt Disnep World.

[Zapita @ May 28th 2008 9:35AM]

that's Pucca

[fistpittingnork @ May 28th 2008 9:37AM]

"Art phone ----- when you see the Mouse phone, you can't imagine that it should be a phone. The lovely Mouse face combined with phone, must be the most cute characteristic phone.The delicate design and wonderful hand-touching with common function such as message, MMS and FM radio deserve to buy. It can´t be wear everyday. It can be just cool gadget or accessory. Best surprise and gift for kids and girls."

I'm sorry, "wonderful hand-touching"?

[urbanpeasant @ May 28th 2008 9:39AM]

You make me touch your hand for stupid reasons!

[Kay @ May 28th 2008 9:39AM]

Yes, that's fake Pucca.

[YankeeDooda @ May 28th 2008 9:58AM]

the straps a ripoff of the Gucci strap, they even put shitlooking Gs instead of the normal one. So its a ripoff Disney phone aiming for the designer-addicted kids. In china? Whys the price in GBP?
looking back, they even have the balls to call it the guccidoll.

[wwweagle @ May 28th 2008 9:59AM]

CECT is somehow authorized by Disney by some kind...

[syclick @ May 28th 2008 10:14AM]

That's definitely Pucca, a Korean animation character. There's even a Wikipedia entry:

I'd like to drown this rodent.

Disney paid for pucca noobs

[Steffen Jobbs @ May 28th 2008 10:47AM]

With the Disney logo displayed it sure brings Mickey Mouse to mind. However, that mouse doesn't look like the classic Mickey Mouse. Maybe it's supposed to look like an Asian version or something. Guess it would be cute for Japanese ladies to carry along with their Hello Kitty accessories.

[Yin Chan @ May 28th 2008 6:11PM]

First of all. That is Pucca, and Disney own rights to Pucca.
