And now the back. Check out the tail. Kinda weird. But weird’s the appropriate word, right?. To see the back of the chaser from Urban 6, click on the image to the left. |
Urban 6 Price- $11.95
Or at least that’s the price online for these figures. Also online are the Combo Packs for the price of $24.95. More in a few minutes from D-Street.
Update: Few minutes later. The price is confirmed at $11.95 at D-Street also!
They weren’t supposed to be online today, but they are.

Urban 6 Combo at Disney Store Online
Well, the price is better then the Urban 5 $12.95. What do you think! Leave a comment, and we’ll discuss the price changes.
Thanks to @BurgerBeachBlog for the heads up this morning (We were busy preparing for the Trade Show tonight!)
Two Tone Topper Time!
The rumors were true, the Urban 6 combo topper is two-tone Mickey similar to the Urban 5 combo topper.
As you can see, this one is Yellow. We haven’t found many people too crazy about the blah two-tone designs, but this bright Urban 6 figure is a step up from the dreary Urban 5. Will you be topping your Urban 6 collection off with this piece? We think it retails for $24.95, and it comes attached to a random Urban 6 blind box. They will be available tomorrow at D-Street Orlando and CA.
Urban 6 Vinylmation Explained
Update: 3/17/11 @zoekatherine sent us some pics of upcoming 9″ Urban 6 figures from DLR. We added those pics at the bottom, plus some Urban 6 Jumbo pins that might point to future 9″ Urban 6 figures. And we added a picture of the yellow two-tone Mickey combo topper.
Update: 4/8/11 Disney released official pictures of these figures. We posted those pictures and artist names.
Update: 3/4/11 Release date for Urban 6 announced as March 18th, 2011 at D-Street in Orlando and CA. The Urban 6 combo pack will also be released on the same day. No word on which Mickey will be part of the combo. “Sumo” by Doug Strayer was show in turn around.
Update: 2/20/11 We found new info about what seems to be the 9″ figures from this set (because we’ve seen the 12 3″s) Scroll down past the 3″s to see the 9″s.
Update: 2/6/11 We were reminded to take another look at a video on the Events page of the Vinylmation site and we finally got a shot of something new. Check out the bottom of this page for updates of new figures, as well as some updates to old ones. If you can figure out what else is new, let us know!
1/8/10 From the Disney Pin Site we get a sneak peak at the up coming Urban 6 vinylmation series. All of these are 3 inchers.

1337 Mou53
Artist: Susana Popular computer slang is the topic of this vinylmation. I’m not sure why they want us to “XLR8”? I enjoy the winking smile and the heart. Check out the “On the other hand” on one hand. On the other hand, lol, there’s a “high five”. As you see him leave, he’s politely says, “Bye for now” and “See you later”. |
 |
Cactus
Artist: Maria Clapsis Classic cactus, in a bowl, with a blossoming flower in the right ear. Also, on the back of the head, an owl. |
 |
Cry Baby
Artist: Adrianne Draude Sounds noisy. Sorta boring. A weird yellow color. I think it’s diaper needs changing. |
 |
Ice Cream Sundae
Artist: Adrianne Draude To go with the Cutester Cupcake. Love the cherry on top. |
 |
Nature Cycle (White)
What goes up, must come down? |
 |
Side Mouse
Artist: Thomas Scott Sorta a combination of Big Eye Mickey, and |
 |
Sumo
|
 |
Sunny Day
Artist: Thomas Scott Sweepin Up… (wait, wrong copyright) |
 |
Zipper Artist: Thomas Scott We’ve actually already seen this at Trade City. It looks cool though, very motorcycle chic. And not one, but FIVE zippers! (If the price is $9.95, that’s only 2 bucks a zipper!) |
 |
Green Thumb
Artist: Doug Strayer We also saw this one at Trade City. Freaky and weird. Perfect for Urban. I wonder if the fingerprint on the back is someones. There is a variant in blue. (Which is even freakier.) |
 |
Killer Queen Bee
Artist: Paola Gutierrez This sneaky looking character has an antenna and a crown in the ears. Also, his arms are clear like wings (which is AWESOME). On the back is her beehive. |
 |
Weird Beak
Warning: 11 pictures were officially released by Disney. This figure is not one of them. But it is seen in the set on the video, so it might be the chaser. |
| Update: 2/6/11 A Quick Look
From one of the videos on the Vinylmation Event Page, this snapshot shows Urban 6 vinyls. Below is some of the new figures we’ve gleaned from the shot. On closer inspection it looks like the case has 12 figures, making it the set. Starting on the top left of the box, in order, Zipper, Nature Cycle, Sunny Day, and Weird Beak. Middle row from left, Sumo, Cactus, 1337 Mou53, and Side Mouse. On the bottom row from the left, Ice Cream Sundae, Killer Bee, Cry Baby, and Green Thumb. Now that I look at it more, the ones outside the case look like they are variants! 3 of them! Thanks to J we think there are now actually 4 variants. There is a clear orange one next to the yellow one. The only one it seems it could be would be a third version of 1337 Mou53. |
|
 |
Blue Thumb Variant
I don’t know what a blue thumb is, but there it is! The coolest of the variants IMHO. |
 |
1337 Mou53 Clear Yellow Variant
Clear Yellow figure. Looks like a variant of 1337 Mou53 or a similar design. Also might have a Clear Orange Variant! |
 |
Nature Cycle (Blue) Variant
Blue variant of the Nature Cycle figure. |

Gumball Machine 9″/3″
This looks pretty cool, if they can get the dispenser effect to work. Update: I don’t think the gumball effect or the dispenser effect works, but I do like the fact that this figure comes with a 3″ figure of a kid with a bubble that has blown up in his face. Check out the gumball hat for the “before” version of this 3″. |
 |
Viking 9″
I really like the hat. Not sure how I feel about the nipples. Update: This one is starting to grow on me. I like the hat and the horns. The eyes still bug me a little, but I am really thinking of picking this one up. |
 |
Film Camera 9″
This figure has many markings on it that you would find on
(This is available in pin form as a Mystery Chaser LE 250
in the Urban 6 Jumbo pin set.)
|
 |
Star Bright 9″
Very colorful. Shooting stars all around. This one reminds be of Super Mario Galaxy for some reason.
(This is available in pin form as a Mystery Chaser LE 250
in the Urban 6 Jumbo pin set.)

 |
Love 9″
Colorful swirls against a white Vinylmation. |
 |
Angel (9″?)
A halo in the ear. “I’d love wings as an accessory, especially if they aren’t vinyl but some kind of lace of fabric. Also, I’d prefer if this and the Devil were a 3″ set instead of a 9″ one as it seems they probably are.”-M.C.
(This is available in pin form as a Mystery Chaser LE 250
in the Urban 6 Jumbo pin set.)

Devil (9″?)
Evil looking fellow. “Looks a little too human for my likes. I’d prefer a more cartoon version, maybe something looking like Hades from Hercules.”-M.C. (This is available in pin form as a Mystery Chaser LE 250 |
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Looks like Clover from Holiday 2 already made it down to Raglan Road in Downtown Disney

Mystery Urban 6 Vinylmation Pins Could Point to Future Figures
Thank you to Devin for pointing out a new Jumbo Vinylmation Pin he found on eBay. It’s an Urban 6 design and is the Mystery Chaser in the pin set. It is a Limited Edition of 250.
Film Camera Mickey
With a closer look around eBay, we found 3 more Jumbo Vinylmation Urban 6 Pins that are also Mystery Chasers in the pin set. All 4 pins are Limited Edition of 250.
Star Bright
Angel
Devil
Since we know the entire 3″ set, that comes out March 18th, these Jumbo pins point to possible 9″ Urban 6 figures. What do you think of these designs?
More Confusion with 9″ Animation 1
Update: 3/16/11 – Disney’s Vinylmation blog today states that the general release windows they talked about yesterday were referring to the release dates of these figures at the Disney Parks. Seems like they still might be sporadically available at select Disney Stores. We placed a call to a Tampa Disney store and they said they just got a couple Willie the Whales in on Monday. Maybe spreading out the releases across both Disney Stores and Parks will cut down on the extra 9″ figures that sit on the D-Street shelves for so long. We will keep you updated on an official release date for Animation 9″ at the Disney Parks.
Today the Disney Vinylmation Blog announced the the rest of the Animation 1 9″s release date’s are going to be spread out over the next year. Back on January 7th 2011 the first two 9″ figures were released in D-Street stores. That was Pete’s Dragon and the Beast. Now the blog states that Bolt and Merlin will officially be released in the Fall of 2011, and that sometime this spring we will be seeing Willie the Whale and the Hycacinth Hippo.
That’s interesting and all, but since January 29th, all of them have been available (on and off) at the NYC Times Square store, as well as various Disney Stores across the US. So that leaves us with the question: What is Disney doing with these? Why are they already out in some places, but not officially out? We’d love to know your opinion. Leave a comment at the bottom.
