Wtf, what are this things made from? Looks like painted glass lol

They're made with Swarovski crystals, which is why the whole thing is so fucking expensive.

Spoiler: A taste of their "exceptional quality"

Spoiler: Their inspiration

So it indeed is just colored glass cut in a fancy way kek

Why anyone would want to buy this is beyond me. At least quartz and zircon are actual minerals that have some innate value, no wonder this crap breaks instantly if it's crystal glass. I used to see similar crystal ornaments being sold for a few dollars at seasonal fairs in my country.

Swaroski is one of those brands that produces alot stuff. Some of it great, others absolutely crap. In person you can see difference between them and the avarice crystal. The sparkle is honestly much more intense and pretty, it's quality crystal. The brand earned its reputation but produces any idea no matter how tacky, boring or unsuitable for crystal and are for the most part overpriced because they became fasionable and memeable.

Disney decided to fleece their fans for the holidays by teaming up with a jeweler to produce $1300 advent calendars containing crystal ornaments

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAn78SOGoEE

My rough count of the haul:
4 spherical ornaments printed with cheap decals of mickey mouse characters (one of these was misprinted)
8 mickey/minnie mouse head shaped oranments (just 3 spheres)
2 necklaces containing mickey mouse heads
1 pack of mickey mouse stickers
1 highly detailed mickey mouse head for the final ornament
9 generic ornaments with no relation to disney

and mind you none of this is made with precious minerals, so it has no innate value

When I watched that video on youtube I apparently was connected to a node in Germany and I got an ad for the German lottery with two gay men kissing in it. Thanks, Disney.
Here's another video with the same calendar, they pretend to like it:

Not a fan of Swarovski. When I was a teenager I remember wearing something with a real gemstone in it and noting how weird and dull it looked in the Swarovski store and thinking "What trick. They're obviously using the special lighting in her to make things look nice." and that bitter feeling stayed with me ever since. Not that I could have afforded any of their shit anyway.

My family has some Swarovski Christmas ornaments at home (mom got gifted them years go) and they do look lovely without special lighting. But yeah, if you want get the full sparkle experience go to the store. It's nothing complicated, strong light from multiple points so the class has something to bend but still fun to look at. Especially the large statues that absolutely nobody will buy but are there catch attention so you buy something cheaper like expensive ornaments or cute earrings.

Also just as general thing. Gems, crystals and shiny metals in jewelry need to be cleaned regularly to get the full effect. Even little skin grease dulls the shine alot.

Those glass ornaments look really nice, they'd certainly look good on a tree, particularly the generic ones but perhaps I'm just biased against seeing Mickey's mug in my house
But nothing here looks any better than stuff I've seen in the local Chinese import store

a real gemstone in it and noting how weird and dull it looked in the Swarovski store

I heard a lot of people claim this is the case and I'd love to know how or why this happens, what kinda lighting could they be possibly using in there that isn't visibly different to the naked eye from most bright store lights and yet has the ability to dull valuable gemstones while improving the look of their crystal
Maybe it has something to do with how they cut it? One thing I can give them from what I've seen is that the cuts on the gemstones itself look great, I assume that's where their skills lie, and they cheapen out on other factors like the process of taking those gems and hot gluing them on Pikachu's face or whatever

 

[Fapcop]

Cutting class to vaguely resemble diamonds, and slapping on a 3 or 4 figure price tag.

I didn’t know Swarovski was a Jewish name, but there you go!

As @Amber the Hedgehog the hedgehog pointed out, gems you wear can get dirty, but you can experience the Swarovski effect for yourself if you wear something with a real gemstone in it, then go to your local mall. When you go in the Swarovski store, the gem will look dull, even if it's clean; but then if you go into an actual jewelry store it will look more normal.

Diana Kellogg isn't in here yet. I'll assume. She owned over 500+ The Lion King items back in 1998.

Her Steele from Balto (1995) from back in the day was really fuckin' unreal. She could draw this good at only age 16, her Steele's face almost as good as studio quality. It was an indirect motivator for me to never quit trying.

The generic ones are cute, I really like the candy cane. I wouldn't be mad if I got them in a white elephant or ornament exchange. But not at ~$50 each because they're in the vicinity of Mickey Mouse.

I wouldn't be caught dead with any of that crap unless I got it at the aforementioned white elephant exchange, the dollar store, or walmart.

You'd have to be a very silly person to buy any of those trinkets for hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Bad day for Here With The Ears, a Disney adult couple who in 2019 sold their home and spent an entire year staying at Disney resorts.

Their webpage where they explain this
https://archive.is/fglIq

They have got themselves banned from basically all Disney property besides their timeshare because they have been acting as unauthorised third party tour guides, he explains this dressed in full Disney branded attire, in a room full of Disney merch.

This is apparently part of a broader crackdown on unauthorised third party tour guides and while I don't think they're all Disney adults some of them definitely are.

These people are the reason I find Disney's insane movie budgets so baffling. They'll throw $300 million dollars at one project that has to be phenomenally successful to even break even. If they threw $50 million at 6 different projects, they'd sextuple the money they'd get from Disney Adults alone. These people will devour anything and everything Disney. They're guaranteed sales for every project.

Considering the massive tie ins for their ips(toys, rides, tv shows, games etc.) Im guessing the massive budgets is essentially advertising and building the ip up.

Unauthorized tour guides? People paid these retards to take them around Disney parks?

I will never get over how incredibly fucking stupid it is for Disney to stop making original theme park content not tied to any other IPs.

When everything else is failing, it's their parks that keep them afloat. And now they're losing that too because they insist on cramming those shitty IPs down parkgoers throats.

As autistic as it is for me to repeat this, I'm convinced at this point they're trying to bankrupt the Disney company on purpose.

 

[saralovesjuicyfruit]

I agree with the general sentiment, but it's too charitable for the average Disney adult imo. Having been on Tumblr during Disney's huge millennial revitalization in the early 2010s, rarely are they the ones actually experiencing the frightening world or tough times (the people who ARE suffering were priced out of Disney trips and merch hauls long ago). They trend towards sheltered, middle-upper-class or upper-class, neurotic, and spoiled. You can lose count of how many were jobless women who got their doormat partners to bankroll their third trip that year with the girlies in lieu of saving the money, or hyper-consumerists bragging about their collections of merch and Blu-Rays. Reaching for comfort media when burned out is normal, but for these types, "burned out" is the zomg-I-just-did-adulting, "booked their yearly physical over the phone" or "had to put their camera on for a Zoom call", so I can't summon similar pity.

I think that is what disgusts me the most about it: when it's people who have enough disposable income to travel all over the world and have real, meaningful experiences, and all they can think to do with that money is to go to fucking Disney multiple times each year. That's the epitome of 'low-class with money' to me. Total trailer trash shit. No taste.

"Disney is everything to me, it's my entire life"

We're only 12 days into 2024 but this is easily the saddest shit I've ever read. Imagine having such a lack of personal identity that your entire existence revolves around the dying remains of a once great animation studio that I'm certain will cease to exist within our lifetimes.

 

[Executive Petrel]

Like with clothes, you only pay for the brand as the material is outright garbage. Color me surprised.

The only gems I care about are ones like this accurate depiction of an average Disney customer:
