2013 Poster Series Release Dates… Maybe?

WDWNT on December 3, 2012

Disney announced something… I know that’s not specific but here are the details. According to the events calender on vinylmation.com there will be a release of a “2013 Series – 3-inch figure (Open Edition / Retail: $12.95)” on December 28th at D-Streets. They also have a January 11th release of a similar figure for the online Disney Store. We are assuming that means this is the first (and maybe second) release of the 13 2013 Poster figures we saw at Mickey’s Circus (seen above). Only, at Mickey’s Circus, they said there would be a limited edition of 2013 for each figure, not open edition like the website says. Maybe the website meant open box. We’ll follow up and give out more information as it becomes available. 
Right now the events page is full of mistakes. They can’t even spell December correctly.

WDWNT on October 30, 2012

Lots of news today about release dates. Here is all the NEW info from the events page.

At D-Streets:
On October 19th
Park 11 and the Park 11 Combo topper will be released.

On October 26th
Park 11 9″ Grizzly Peak ($44.95) will be released
“Disney-Pixar Toy Story 2” Buzz, Little Green Men, Jessie, and Woody ($12.95 each). I think this is the Japanese Andy’s Drawings ones.

On November 2nd
Disneyland or Walt Disney World Resort Annual Passholder Series #3 ($14.95)
Villians Series #3 ($12.95 each)
Disney’s Prep & Landing ($26.95)

On November 16th
Disney-Pixar Series #1 ($12.95 each)
Phineas & Ferb Series, Agent P (we assume the Christmas Tree variant) ($12.95)
In WDW, artist signing with Maria Clapsis, Ron Cohee, and Thomas Scott from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at D-Street.

On November 23rd
Disney-Pixar Series #1, Heimlich Combo Pack ($24.95) (Is this a combo topper?)

At the Disney Stores:
On November 9th
2012 Santa Mickey Mouse ($16.95)

On November 16th
Disney-Pixar Series #1 ($12.95 each)
Fantasia Series #2 – Unicorn and Faun (LE 2,000 $24.95)

On November 23rd
Disney-Pixar Series #1, Heimlich Combo Pack ($24.95)

On November 30th
Phineas & Ferb Series, Agent P ($12.95)
Fantasia Series #2 – Unicorn and Faun (LE 1,500 $24.95)

So first, it looks like there are two possible dates for the 2nd Fantasia Combo Pack, but it is ONLY online. (I’d try the 16th because it’s got the right edition size). Which of these sets are you picking up? Remember that the Classics set also comes out this month. Any one’s wallets feeling a bit thin yet?

Adam Roth’s 9/24/12 WDW Photo Report

WDWNT on October 29, 2012

WDWNT Reporter Adam Roth visited Downtown Disney, Epcot, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios yesterday and has a ton of newsworthy photos to share with us from this trip, so let’s take a look:

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug

Work continues on Splitsville at Downtown Disney

Spotted construction workers

Still looks nothing like the concept art…

The Phineas and Ferb topiary from Epcot is now near the Phines and Ferb & You attraction

Guests were waiting for it to open

Blink has been open for a while now, don’t think we have shown it yet…

John Carter Vinylmation is now at D Street

Adam is probably the only person who has bought them

They had better hurry up…

Moving over to Epcot

Some work going on at both ends of the turnstiles

A great Epcot 30th anniversary display is up in the window at Art of Disney

They are pretty much ready for the Food and Wine festival, starting Friday

You can still buy these

The Cool Wash near Test Track is out from behind walls and now features the new “Sim Car”

The area got fixed up nicely

The dummy sports the new logo

A large hole is now in the front of Test Track

Goodbye old entrance

A new chimney installed at the Norway pavilion… we assume Agent P related…

The work on the Norway waterfall is done

Some other roof work is wrapping up

The new American Adventure cast costumes have debuted… these ones are pretty bad. Did somebody say McDonald’s?

The attraction host costumes are actually very nice

The Festival Shop actually has real doors this year…

Chase seems to be a sponsor ready to burn cash

All of the booths are ready to go

The DVC booth near Canada is just about complete

Told ya’ it was a DVC booth!

Work going on next to the Refreshment Port as well

Display at the front of World Showcase

Framing props…

WATERMELON PATCH

Apparently the cranberry bog is coming back

Moving over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Celebrity 5 & 10 is behind tarps

FastPass+ installed at Indiana Jones

Bubble Gum Goofy?

WDWNT on September 12, 2012

This picture of a Goofy Vinylmation, apparently covered in a burst gum bubble, is on display at D-Street Anaheim. Does anyone know what it could be?

Rhino rolls out of D-Streets

WDWNT on September 12, 2012

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.

Impromptu Signing

WDWNT on July 10, 2012

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.

Casey Jones signed boxes of his 9″/3″/Jr Nightmare set
And his 9″/3″ Malficent and Prince Phillip

Thomas Scott signed his Alice collection including 9″ Crying Alice…

…9″/3″ Walrus and Carpenter… 
…and Alice Flowers set.
Also at D-Street:

Coming June 22 to a D-Street near you!

Animation 2 LE Update

WDWNT on July 10, 2012

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

D-Street Orlando Update 10/17/12

WDWNT on July 8, 2012

Just a few quick notes about some items at D-Street Orlando. They still have a handful of the LE 2500 Popcorns Clown Dumbo Variants around the store.

They also have a bunch of the LE 2000 Fantasia #1 Combos behind the counter.

And then this beautiful new 9″ Custom Fortune Teller Mickey has shown up in the display case.

It comes in a real wooden box and lights up when plugged in. The manager on duty was able to tell me it has a $2,000 price tag and the artist is Mark Seppala. Mark made at least one custom around the opening of D-Street and is also the artist behind the Park 6 Wet Paint Donald.

Disneyland Cast Trader Variant Found

WDWNT on July 7, 2012

If you recognize the fingernails, you’ll know it’s Zoe found this vinylmation when trading at D-Street in Disneyland. It seems to confirm our suspicion that the silver variants are Cast Traders. The other figure looks like this.

So it looks like at least one of the variants is now out and in trade boxes!
For more info on the Disneyland Series check out this post:

Congrats to Zoe for being (as far as we know) the first person ever to receive this variant! If you receive the D Silver variant, please let us know!
