I predict this will do well. Disney themed products have a much stronger following among adults in Japan compared to the US.

That's because they're adults in Japan and target merchandise for the demographic with the money unlike the USA. Same reason it's cartoons here and Anime there.

They'll make a killing just in phone charms there where in USA it's "huh? wtf are phone charms?"

This is actually quite humorous because Disney.com came out with this huge flash-based Disney Extreme site revamp right about the time the iPhone came out. Then they shut down Disney Mobile right after, missing the iPhone boat TWICE.

Let's hope the same people aren't running the new Mobile because hyper-competitive Japanese market is much less forgiving.
