Here’s what we know about this set so far. It’s a 6 piece set, that will go on sale for $99.95 (like Steam Park). There will only be 2000 of these made. The artist is Sarah Matthews.

Black Flowers Looking like a two tonded spirlgraph picture, the Black Flowers are on a white background.
White Ivy

White Ivy is on a black background. I really think this one is cool. So far it’s the only one I’d get, except they come in a set.
Hearts of a String

Pretty.
Popcorn

Striped bag, lots of kernels flying. Ok, it’s not perfect, but that’s what it reminds me off.
Bird and Flower

This bird has been taking a bite of a flower. Do birds eat flowers??
Birdhouse in your Soul

Lots of fun images here. I really like how the birds and this quote create the “eyes” on the head.

What’s Black & White and Read All Over?

WDWNT on August 2, 2011

A newspaper of course! And now onto Vinylmation news… The 6 piece Black & White set will drop into D-Streets and Disney Store Online on August 12. It has a price tag of $99.95 and is LE 2000. We also know it was designed by Sarah Matthews. It was back on May 20th, that we first posted about this set after seeing them at a WDW Trade show.

Disney hasn’t seem to have released any official pictures of these figures. We only saw these two at that trade show. We did dig up the following information (as posted on May 20):

“Last week we heard a rumor about a LE set of 2000 called Black and White. The set was said to be by Sarah Matthews, and oddly enough, you are linked to the Disney Store page when you search for “Sarah Matthews disney artist” in Google! Sarah also runs “Orange Blossom Ink” with a fellow Disney Artist, Lisa Badeen. There was much speculation about this set (because the Disney Store page does not have a picture). It turns out that the set won’t be old B&W characters, but a 6 piece set of interesting design patterns in black and white.”
We also found this “hidden” page on the Disney Store Online back in May:
Are you adding this set to your collection? Do you need more pictures or is it a Black and White choice based on what we know already? (sorry for the bad jokes in this post, I’m tired and lots of news to get out)
