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. |
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.
Pixar Series 2 was designed by the Disney Store artists Gerald Mendez and Enrique Pita (as opposed to Series 1, a Disney Design Group set). The series has been reduced to 8 figures in a blind box set. It features Boo and Little Mikey, Dory, Dot, Alpha, Emile, Elastigirl and Mr. Pricklepants and Mystery Chaser. It will be released sometime in 2014.
I wish Ron Cohee and the DDG were given this assignment, but these look okay via the artwork we saw. I will have to see them in person to really tell. I do like the idea of Elastigirl. Pricklepant’s hair is like Disco Goofy. Emile and Atta are bland to me, but Alpha looks awesome. Cone of shame accessory???
An 18 figure Aladdin Junior series designed by the Disney Store will be released in 2014.
They did a great job giving us variations on the characters. Also, artwork on juniors is amazing these days.
Before the two open window Duffy Vinylmation were released in 2012, we were told there would be a blind box Duffy series. We seem to finally be seeing that come to fruition. Disney has announced a blind box Duffy the Disney Bear Series One. Thomas Scott was very vague and just left us with this one image and said Duffy is going to look very different in this series.
I very much welcome a Duffy series, but it has to more than color palate differences. I’d more be looking for a customs around the world or seasonal costumes. I guess we will wait and see.
A second, revamped D-Tour Series will be released at the Disney Parks in 2014. Series 2 will be blind boxed, as opposed to the open window first series. There will be 8 figures in the set, no word if there will be a chaser. This series will also include both Mickey and Minnie platforms. No previews were shown other than this graphic.
So let me get this straight… They run Urban into the ground with bland designs. Then ditch it for Urban Redux, a new take on Urban that didn’t seem popular. Only to revamp D-Tour to seemingly be like the original Urban? Give me some great designs like Urban 1-7 had and I’ll bite.
A much anticipated Toy Story Series 2, designed by Maria Clapsis and Ron Cohee, will be released in 2014!!! I can’t wait. All they left us with was an image of Buzz Lightyear as Mrs. Nesbitt…
I can’t wait!!!
Casey Jones is back at it again. What better way to follow up a brilliant and popular series based on the beloved Pirates of the Caribbean attraction… then with a series two! We should see it in 2014, but only have this image to go on so far.
Apparently we will be heading to Davy Jones Locker!
Sometimes they listen and just do things right. The fourth series of Robots, like number three, will use Disney Characters. All we have is the Big Bad Wolf’s head to go on here, but it’s enough to peak my interest!
