Fantasia 3 Online
Fantasia 3 came online today. Check out the backs of the figures. Both are Dinosaurs which I have always enjoyed. $24.95 for the combo pack of two. They should also show up in D-Streets later today.
How many of the Fantasia sets have you gotten so far?
Myths and Legends Chaser
Click image below to reveal the Disney Store’s Myths and Legends Chaser. It was posted on the Vinylmation Exchange Facebook page by Daddyand Chloe Dee W. This set has no official release date from Disney, but is beginning to show up for sale in some Disney Stores around the country.
Japan Girls Festival Mickey & Minnie
Update: Tomy, or @Vinylmati0n on twitter, lives in Japan and has a Vinylmation blog. He just posted some HQ pictures of the Japan Girls Festival Vinylmation along with some photos of the shelves at the stores.
An eBay seller located in Japan (tokyo-old-new-jp) just pre-sold a new pair of Vinylmation.
They are said to be released on December 26 in Japan. At first, they appear to have a flocking or other texture, but a look at some other angles shows this may not be true.
According to Wikipedia: The Japanese Doll Festival, or Girls’ Day, is held on March 3. Platforms covered with a red carpet are used to display a set of ornamental dolls representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period.
The eBay seller who listed these items also seems to sell other Vinylmation and items out of Japan if you are interested.
Merry Christmas! Vinylmation Photoshoot
Walt Disney World is so beautifully decorated for Christmas each year, so we took the Christmas themed Vinylmation around the parks and resorts for some photos with all the decorations. I had pretty much all of them, except for Jingle Smells and the first Osborne (hint, hint) Enjoy! There are even more photos on our Facebook page.

No December Disneyland Trade Night?
It appears that Disneyland may not have a December trade night. Over the course of 2012, DLR and WDW have alternated months, and the final month of the year should have belonged to the west coast. However no trade night has been put on the calendar section of either the Disney Pin or Vinylmation websites.
We do know, however, Disneyland will host a January trade night at the Paradise Pier Hotel (date TBA) while Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort will get it’s next one in February. The coasts will continue to alternate throughout 2013. One hint to no December trade night is the Disney Pin announcement that the December “Trade Night Pin” featuring Duffy the Disney Bear in Santa suit will be released on Thursday, December 6th at Pin Traders in the Downtown Disney District.
We put an inquiry into Disney to confirm, but does anyone out there know any news to the contrary?
