Today we stood in line for 7 hours to pick out this cute furry guy from the D-Street in Orlando. Word is that in California they have been waiting since midnight and they are already out of the first stock and are waiting for the next one.
Tell us about your experiences getting Rhino.
We also got this pic of the store before the change out. Looks like the topper, Roger, and the Land are ready for next week.

‘@VM_Paris tweeted a picture today that shows the 9″ Animation 2 Gepetto has been released in Disneyland Paris.
We are still waiting on a release date to be announced for the US.
Roger Rabbit and The Land 9″ figures are both online and at D-Street
Last night, the links to purchase these figures went live at Midnight PST, but were hidden from searches for a good half hour. People also had issues checking out to purchase Roger Rabbit, but there seemed to plenty of quantity of the 1200 total available online as it is still available today. Or at least we all think this morning? I, along with many others got our confirmation emails… but past experience makes us hold our breath until the package arrives.
The Park 9 Combo Topper is also out today, only at D-Streets.

Ep. 078 SpectroMagic This week we cover all the release dates announced for Park 9 and Animation 2. We also talk about the Villains 3, Mascots and Nerds releases. There is more news out of Japan and from under the big top. |
Today Disney posted some new or changed dates for several of the Limited Edition pieces of the Animation 2 series.
First, because MC is writing this post and it was his prediction, Roger Rabbit is no longer coming out on July 13th, instead it has been moved to July 27th at both D-streets (but he will bounce into the Disney Store Online on July 27th). The LE is 1200 and the price will be $44.95. Although it’s a 9″ figure, the WDW section says it’s a 3″. Weird…
Second, Humphrey the Bear and Ranger set will be coming out on July 6th at D-Streets. The LE is 1200 and the price for the two pack is $74.95. They will come to the Disney Store Online on July 20th.
And third, Rhino is now officially named in the event listing for his release. According the blog he will be coming out on July 20th at D-Streets. There will only be 1000 of him and he will cost $18.95
Disney artists Thomas Scott and Casey Jones stopped by D-Street Orlando to pick up some Abe Lincoln Park Starz Variants (their latest creations) and left behind some treats for fans.
Nick was able to take a pic of the upcoming Animation 2 LEs.
First, Geppetto 9″ LE 1000
Second, a 9″/3″ combo, Humphrey and Ranger J Audubon Woodlore LE 1200.
Along with the previously announced Maleficent and Prince and The 9″ Roger Rabbit, these seem to be the 9″ limited edition figures.
Still wondering about the Rhino ignite we saw earlier.
What do you think of these sets? Geppetto will go nicely with Pinocchio from the Animation 1 set.
