Pixar Series 2 Leaked Product Shot

The news keeps trickling in today, as Vinylmation Exchange member Stevan Agbaba posted the first image of the physical Pixar series #2 vinyls.  We got a sneak peak of this set at Reflections of Evil, and now we can finally see how detailed some of the figures are.  Take a look:

 

Some of these figures are straight winners, as I love Dory, Boo, and Mr. Pricklepants.  Emile, and Alpha are great representations, but a tad plane.  Same goes for Dot, and the jury is still out on Elastigirl for me.  I think this is a great follow up to the first Pixar series, and the Disney Store crew have done a great job with these designs.  What are your guys thoughts? Any ideas for the Chaser?

These 4 figures were designed by Disney Store artist Enrique Pita, and look fantastic!! Love the nutcracker imagining he used. These are sure to be very popular this holiday season.

Today, the official Vinylmation blog posted an article revealing the Urban Redux 2 Chaser. Take a look at the vinyl below:

Thomas Scott designed this figure, and I absolutely love it. I hope that’s the image he thinks of all of us collectors, be it at a trading event, a signing event, or anywhere on social media. We all love Vinylmation, and this is a wonderful tribute. It also sports an interesting color scheme that I love. Now that we have the chaser revealed, any ideas on variants? Maybe there will be a variant chaser in the set!!! Let us know what you think!!

Update from Japan d23, Including a VARIANT

WDWNT on October 31, 2013

Last night, pictures from the d23 convention being held in Japan flooded social media.  While rumors swirled about possible variants and super chasers, Vinylmation World helped clear some of that up.  They posted some pictures from Instagram user Umokichi, which includes all 8 figures lined up, including the Oswald chaser, as well as a picture of a recently discovered variant from the set.

Here are the 8 previewed designs together:

And here is the variant, its Tink with golden Mickey ears:

A pretty cool design I think, and sure to be sought out by Tink fans.  This set is already proving to be insanely popular, as its being passed around that this set has already SOLD OUT. What do you guys think? Are you a fan of the Japanese designs, or do you prefer the vinyls pumped out stateside? Let us know!!
