This set just keeps getting better and better. A few days after pictures leaked onto the net showing the Extreme Wrestler series, Vinylmation.com has announced they come with trading type cards!
Each figure will come with their own card with their name, bio, hometown and signature move! Love it. The packaging design is great as well. They will be released in Disney Stores on October 29th for $9.95.
Here is a look at the full tray and 11 figures…
By Steven Miller on the Disney Parks Blog:
I generally believe I’m a lucky guy. I have two wonderful children, loving parents, an amazing girlfriend, and I work at the happiest place on Earth. While the New Year arrives with a number that some may consider unlucky, I believe that 2013 will be a lucky and magical year. Believing in magic is the theme that Disney Theme Park Merchandise selected for the 2013 dated art programs. The foundation for this new program is the style guide that Disney Design Group completed in November 2011. I recently took a closer look at the style guide to see what artwork is coming to merchandise in the New Year. The 2013 style guide contains a variety of logos, graphics and patterns that give one consistent look for the merchandise. Artists and merchandisers can use elements from the style guide on all sorts of items fromdrinkware to plush to coffee mugs. Sorcerer Mickey and his hat are both prominently featured in the 2013 artwork. I particularly like how his silhouette was incorporated in the logos for Disneyland and Walt Disney WorldResorts (something I’ve not seen before). I also liked the creative use of “13” in the word “believe.” At many merchandise locations in Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts, you will see visually impressive statements containing all kinds of 2013 merchandise. These statements make shopping easier for guests, as dated merchandise is some of the most popular souvenirs from Disney Parks. Guests can also find an assortment of 2013 merchandise on the Disney Parks online store. One of the more unique items currently in the shop is a tie-dyed shirt for Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort that has Sorcerer Mickey and friends facing off against several Disney Villains. Disney Design Group created alternate art program for 2013 that you may recall seeing in a recent Disney Parks Blog video. Stay tuned as I will be giving a closer look at the amazing oversized posters from the 2013 calendar that will also make their way to pins, Vinylmation, iPhone covers and apparel next year.
We want to give an update on artist Annemarie. First, she has a new Facebook page where she displays all of her latest work. When you get the chance, go LIKE that page to get updates on all of Annemarie’s customs. Next, we want to share with you some of her latest work. This first one may be my personal favorite of her customs yet:
Conner went to the Disneyland resort and captured some crowded magic.
A friendly reminder if you are attending New Years Eve at the Disneyland Resort, be prepared for crowds. Also, special viewing area is available for those who have glow with the show ears.

Like the photos? Let our photographers know!
WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen visited the Walt Disney World theme parks over the last three days and has some newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip. We’ll take a look at New Fantasyland, Star Wars Weekends preparation, and more from around the Vacation Kingdom of the World, so let’s get started:
The Main Street Bakery is still behind tarps (I’m starting to think this has something to do with Starbucks moving in)
Facade work continues on the Confectionary and Chapeau
The temporary Tangled meet and greet rolls on
Work was completed on the Main Street bridge
Work on the Princess Merida meet and greet has been completed
A nearby cart has Brave merchandise
I find it hard to believe that they will sell much before the movie is released
I fully expect to get shot with arrows by smaller guests on a regular basis now…
The second Dumbo spinner is rapidly nearing completion
If I were a betting man… and I am…
I’d wager that the second spinner will be open by Memorial Day
The official opening is July, along with the interactive queue
The Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station looks nearly complete
We’re still not entirely sure if the center portion will spin at a slow speed like a roundhouse
98? An Animal Kingdom reference? We think about these things too much…
A look at Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
Near the construction of what we assume is a new Pooh meet and greet, a mysterious box has appeared
The Castle Wall is rising…
More scaffolding finally went up on the detailed portion near Village Haus
This steel frame should be covered soon
This side is further along
Some walkway work being done near the Carousel as well
I had to stare at this for a while to realize what I was seeing… this is the view from the Haunted Mansion across the old Skyway site. I assume this will be addressed as construction moves forward.
Construction of the Grand Floridian DVC wing continues
A new parking lot being built across the way
Going up!
Star wars Weekends preparation underway at Studios
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
You can still become an unwanted action figure… ZING!
The Droid Factory recently opened at Tatooine Traders. You can make your own R2 unit toy!
Scott Smith just died
Brave banners up in the Animation Courtyard
Work was completed on the Disney Junior queue
Looks like they just replaced the awning
The same seems to be happening to the meet and greet area
Goodbye Kim…
Work continues on the new, separate Turtle Talk entrance at the Seas

Performances are Thursday through Monday, from January 10 through February 4, 2013.” – Disneyland Media.
It was earlier announced that Golden Horseshoe Revue would be returning for a “limited time” and it is exciting to have the dates announced!

Since Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream was updated a few months ago, we’ve been wondering why there was so much empty space in “The Legacy Continues” section. Well, here’s why…
You may recognize this as the large model of New Fantasyland that was shown at the 2011 D23 Expo. Well, starting tomorrow, it can be seen daily inside the One Man’s Dream attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Having seen the model in person, I can tell you that you will want to stare at it for a while to inspect every last detail. Clear up some time in your schedule for your next trip to the Studios, you’re going to be staring at this for a while…
