Travis Seitler, Art Director at Gemstone Publishing, Inc. saw Barry Branvold’s comments about changes at Disney Stores (see “Barry Branvold of Barry's Collectors Corner on Disney Stores”) and hopes those changes will lead to the return of merchandise for adults:

I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Branvold's recent lament of the lack of adult-friendly merchandise in Disney Stores across the country.  However, it seems obvious why these stores have focused almost exclusively on children's items: Disney sold the chain to The Children's Place nearly four years ago. (see “Disney Closing 100 Stores”)

Now that Disney is taking the stores back under their control, one hopes we'll see the return of those "collectible figures, watches, and adult clothing" we've been missing.
