Warrior Maria Clapsis This figure looks like and Indian warrior. He has a great looking head piece and wonderful markings and coloring on the body. The way the feet are painted, it appears he is standing in some brown brush. Will there be a spear accessory?  |
 |
Rudos Casey Jones It appears to be a masked wrestler. He is blue with a squiggle of chest hair. He has a black tank top and tennis shoes. And possible flash bulbs in the ears.  |
 |
Barricade Thomas Scott Directing traffic everywhere. The head is a clear yellow and the ears give the impression of a flashing light. |
 |
Beaded Betsy DePedova A new artist to the Vinylmation scene. This effort is a colorful figure full of different shapes. Flowers, dots, springs and stars.  |
 |
Hot Dog Dan Howard Looks yummy. Though I prefer just ketchup and relish. I like the hidden Mickey disguised as an onion! – Nick |
 |
Beatnik This cool, cool cat has a simple black and white stripe shirt a beret and small artist-like eye glasses. He has some chin hair and a pencil mustache. The ears are painted a solid red. |
 |
Raccoon Casey Jones This little fellow looks happy. Maybe he saw the hotdog. It’s a purple raccoon with a bushy tail… just like the Cheshire cat’s.  |
 |
Tree Frog Robert Vann Watch out! They are poisonous. This one has a great color green and a cool glossy finish. |
 |
Cave Painting Thomas Scott It looks like a painted you would see inside a cave. Different shapes and colors tell a story the artist wishes to pass down to us.  |
 |
Yellow Robot Billy Davis The Disney Store artists have a robot series all to themselves, but the Disney Design group wanted some of their own. What job do you think this robot was built to perform? |
 |
Zombie Break Dancer Monty Maldovan Gold tooth, headphones cool blue shades and bling… this blue man is ready to get funky. |
 |
Mystery Chaser (click image to see chaser) |
Also with this series are some LE. These look amazing!!
 9″ Sock Monkey
$44.95 This one is adorable. Buy several, each for each woman in your life. |
 9″ Boxer
Artist: Casey Jones This is a great looking piece. If any of the bandaids were mixed media, I’d almost think this was a one-of-a-kind. Oh, and the boxing gloves, besides being awesome, are removable. When you can, check out his hands underneath. |
 9″ Saber Tooth Tiger
$39.95 This figure was named on a placard at The Florida Project, but it was not displayed. It’s sounds pretty cool though. I hope the teeth are 3D. |
