The Jungle Book blind box series of 7 figures and 1 Mystery Chaser will be released sometime in 2014 by the Disney store. The set includes Bagheera, Baloo, Colonel Hathi’s child, King Louie, Mowgli, Shere Kahn and 4 Jr. Vultures in one blind box! This is a beautiful looking set. I love the dancing Baloo so as to be different from the DDG Animation version. A hypnotized Bagheera with Kaa in his ear is brilliant. Oh, and check out Louies arms. It’s a new style.

Ep. 134 Abe Lincoln Chaser – Reflections of Evil This week we review all the previews that were seen and talked about at the Reflections of Evil trading event held at Epcot at Walt Disney World on September 13-15, 2013. |
Park Starz 3 Series
Blind tin series of 12
Expected release date: 2014
Expected price: ??
Harold from Matterhorn. Just a test of the figure shape.
Who else might be in this set? We won’t know til next year (we HOPE it’s next year).
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
Blind box series of 8
Expected release date: ??
Expected price: $12.95
In a way, I’m glad they waited. The designs and production process have come a long way in the past five years. If Indy is any indication, our first Indiana Jones Vinylmation set is going to be incredible. A Raiders of the Lost Ark set is scheduled to release in 2014.
I hope this is just the beginning of three Indy sets. Or 4 even. No, no 4. Bad idea.
Anyways, this figure looks great. Lots of detail. Can’t wait for the rest! (Wouldn’t an ark in the head with the wings in the ears be awesome?)
Topiaries
Blind box “Reveal/Conceal” series of 5 each only sold in combo topper form
Sorcerer Mickey on Top with a blind box of Regular Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy on bottom.
Expected release date: 2014 (I assume at Epcot Flower and Garden?)
Expected price: $24.95
Open edition
I LOVE the Donald. Also the use of the Minnie platform for the females is perfect. These look great in person but like most of you, I don’t love the purchasing configuration. In pins, Reveal/Conceal works much better. You don’t have to purchase the same revealed pin over and over. Disney has made it easier to complete sets by reducing them to 8, but this goes the other way. But if you are looking for just one or two of the characters, you should be able to trade for them easy enough. It’s not supposed to be easy, and that is the point.
Sorcerer Mickey. This is what I expected from one the other Imagineer figures. It looks good and I look forward to seeing the other 4!
Here is MC’s horrible artist rendering of what this packaging will look like. Sorcerer on top and one of 4 blind boxed in the bottom.
Wasp and Yellowjacket LE

A great continuation of the Disney characters as Star Wars characters series.

LE 1500
Update: Close up of ToT LE place card showing $??.95 posted at bottom of page.
These are blind boxed. One in ten are variants, so I guess the LE is 1350 and the variants are LE of 150.
I really like these. They are a great smaller set.

No word on medals
New figure, but pretty basic, so does that mean the medals are back again?
