The US Disney D23 Expo is August 9th to the 11th and among the thousands of items offered will be the Mattel exclusive, “Convoy Brothers 4-Pack.”

But for the first time, and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Disneyland Tokyo, they are holding a second D23 Expo in Japan!

“D23 Expo Japan, the first Expo to be held outside the U.S., will feature an array of engaging presentations, hosted by senior Disney creative executives, showcasing what’s on the horizon from across The Walt Disney Company, including theme parks, movies, television, music, and interactive gaming. Fans will enjoy unique experiences; have the opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind merchandise and collectibles; meet many of their favorite Disney characters; and delight in countless other surprises. D23 Expo Japan will take place October 12–14, 2013, at the Tokyo Disney Resort in the Maihama area. Expo ticketing and program information will be announced in March.”

For CARS fans, I think it’s pretty safe to say there will be no exclusive CARS items from Mattel at the show since Takara Tomy owns the license for diecast and toy vehicles in Japan. They might offer something but we don’t really know. If you’re going, send us some pics … just turn right at the end of the great Alaska highway, catch a ride with a Crabby boat and you’re set … unless you get challenged to a drift race – then watch out for ninjas! But say hello to Sulley-san and Mike-san.
