Designated by Toys "R" Us as a hot toy for preschool-age kids, the interactive plush features three rock songs, including the classic "You Really Got Me." Kids can rock out alongside Mickey with the Role Play Guitar (SRP $21.99) by pulling the whammy bar for cool guitar sound effects, pressing Mickey's head for fun phrases, sliding his hand up and down to change the pitch of the melodies and pressing the strings to step-through notes.
