Who needs Ice Cubes?
It’s cold outside as MC and I wait at D Street for Vinylmation Ice Cube trays, holiday 2 and some watches. And remember the artist signing today!
A New Tail to Tell
With the full body shots of Mushu released yesterday and the one from last month of Simba(??) we see that the Tail is a new body feature that will be coming to Vinylmation as part of the Animated 1 set. Back at Trade City 2010 we noticed the tail on Mushu but couldn’t really get a good photo of it. Now we see it in all it’s glory and welcome it as the next addition to the Vinylmation bodies (the first was the Neck in the Ostrich and Giraffe).
Update 7:00 PM: Here’s another Vinylmation from the Animated 1 set. We knew he had the donkey ears, and now we know Pinocchio has a tail too!
There are a lot of animals in the Disney character kingdom, so I suspect the tail will be seen a lot more in the next year and beyond.
What do you think of the tail? what other body part would you like to see added in the future? Join the discussion with a comment at our blog.
Get Your Tickets!
For about the price of a Disneyland 1 Day Park Hopper, you will soon be able to buy a Booklet of Disneyland A-E Tickets!… only catch is they are Vinylmation and probably will not get you admission into the parks. But it’s a great looking set in a collectible box that will be available starting December 10th at D-Street only in California. This LE of 1955 produced set will retail for $99.95. Lin Shih (Holiday 2 Graveyard 9″) designed this series.
I guess you CAN’T have your cake and eat it too
The Disney Vinylmation Blog announced we are getting our Birthday Cake Vinylmation on December 10th ($44.95 LE 1000)… but it is not edible. You never know after the ice cube trays (release date: December 3). This figure looks delicious, and it looks like a Disney Design Artist stole a piece out of the back!
Something more for the Holidays?
There’s been a lot of talk this week about Holiday sets (Mostly because the Holiday 2 set is coming out on Friday) and we remembered something interesting we found in the archives over at the Disney Chat Blog. According to Todd on November 2nd, there’s a pretty good chance there will be a Chanukah Vinylmation in the next Holiday Set. Sounds cool. What other Holidays should be included? Let us know!
UPDATE 12/1/10: Less than 24 hours after posting this entry, the Vinylmation Facebook page posted pics of the Chanukah Vinylmation, confirming its existence and placement in the Holiday 3 set. Of course Holiday 2 isn’t even out yet, so be prepared to wait a year for this Vinylmation.
Quick Facts: The body is a dreidel, with the front showing the Shin side (which means you add one to the pot, oddly the worst possible outcome to a spin). Shown on the head and the right ear are gold Hanukkah gelt, which is sometimes used while playing with a dreidel. These days the gelt are gold foil covered pieces of chocolate. Also of note is that one of the gelt has a picture of a menorah, the candelabrum used during Hanukkah.
