It’s been a long night waiting for a Vinyl that hasn’t shown up yet. To easy the pain here’s this week’s Stormtrooper of the Week.
Sometimes all you need to feel better is a change (of clothes).
While waiting for the elusive Tailspin set, we noticed that the price of the Big Eyes at DisneyStore.com have gone down.
Originally priced $9.95 at the online shop, they have been reduced to $7.95. So if you haven’t picked up the series yet check this sale out. The figures still available at this time are:
Mike Wazowski
Buzz Lightyear
Mickey Mouse
Marie
Grumpy
Tinkerbell
Here is a 360 turn around of the 9″ Park 5 Tree of Life Vinylmation. Check out the great detail:

WDWNT Reporter Taylor Martina was roaming around Walt Disney World on Friday and lucky for us he had his camera with him to snap some newsworthy photos:
Yes, both legs of Spaceship Earth are back to normal for the first time in 12 years…
 Well, Disney has finally let a piece of valuable info slip. Today Stephen Miller posted a blog about his interview with the Disney Artist responsible for the Flags Set. For a while now we here at Destination Vinylmation have been wondering who the mystery artist behind this series is, and now we know. The mystery artist is Caley Hicks, a new comer to the Vinylmation front. Also of note is that Lisa Badeen designed the cool boxes that came along with the series. Congrats to both of them on such a well designed series. Picture from Disney’s Blog.

This is what arrived at my doorstep yesterday: The Admiral Donald Set! Available only from the Disney Dream’s inaugural cruise. We saw this set back at Trade City, and Nick just loves Donald, so it was only a matter of time before the set was purchased. At Trade City we saw both 3″ figures, but never knew there would be a Jr included in the set.

Dream Stars Jr.
In the top picture you can see the back of this junior with the fancy Dream logo. Here is the front, with white stars and two yellow stars. |
Today the Vinylmation Blog gave us our next release date. One March 11th, the 3rd Juniors Series will be released in D-Streets Florida and California. It will later be released online at the Disney Store on March 18th. The series is entitled, “Good Luck / Bad Luck” and we assume, like past Junior Series, it will come with 16 normal figures and 2 chasers (most likely a “good luck” chaser and a “bad luck” chaser)
They also released a photo of the box this series will come in, so let’s check that out.

This side looks like the “Bad Luck” side, so I guess the opposite side will have the white cat on it. In the logo we can see some suggestions of other symbols that might be part of the series: a horseshoe, the number 13, a skull and crossbones, a bat, and lightning? |
 |
Here’s a co-luck side. Nothing particularly new here. The size will be 1.5″ . It shows both the black cat and the white cat. They also mention that there are keychains as part (like the first two series) |
These are the two figures we have already seen, one for good luck and the other for bad luck. They were revealed as part of the info dump on New Years at midnight.
Is anyone looking forward to this series? How many of you actually collect Juniors? Let us know! Leave a comment.
