Villains Released… Robots Along for the Ride

WDWNT on July 10, 2012

Villains 3 was released at Disney Stores across the nation today. It is also available online. You can find the full lineup on our Villains 3 explained page. If you picked up some Villains, let us know your thoughts on this series.

There is also a great deal going on right now… buy any Vinylmation, get a Robots 2 free. This deal works both in store and online, but you may want to call your local Disney Store first. Ours here in Orlando had Villains 3 in stock, but was out of Robots.

The deal works with almost any Vinylmation purchased. Go to this link at DisneyStore.com for the complete list of eligible products. The sale lasts until July 7 or while supplies last.

Mickey’s Circus- Zooper Heroes

WDWNT on July 8, 2012

The Disney Store announced a new 12 figure blind box series called Zooper Heroes. (not a typo) The artists have taken zoo animals and given them alter egos.

Get them before they turn into a pumpkin!

Yesterday the Cinderella 7 figure set hit Disney Stores and Online. The 9″ Cinderella Castle figure was also available yesterday (proof in screen shot above) but doesn’t seem to be there today. It is an LE 1500 figure and quantities were available throughout US stores as well, so did the online allotment sell out in 1 day? I had a friend pick mine up at the local Disney Store, she also grabbed a 9″, so they were there. I don’t have the set in hand yet, but The Playwright sent us pictures from his pick up at the Times Square store in NYC.

As you can see, the display box swings open to give access to the figures and the back of the box is wonderfully decorated with artwork and an inscription.

Magic Officially Around the World (not a sports post)

WDWNT on July 7, 2012

Last week we featured a picture of a new vinylmation that someone found in a UK Disney Store. It was labeled as “Magic Around the World” and mentioned future releases in that series. Today the Vinylmation Blog explained it, a bit.

According to the blog, the Disney Store will be celebrating “Magic Around the World” by releasing one new Vinylmation for the next 6 weeks. The first one was this black one, officially released on July 2nd. It is $9.95 or 10 Euros. Right now, it can be found on the France Disney Store Online, but not the US site. It was however found in at least one physical US Disney Store, The Times Square location. The Disney blog points out that the second figure in this series will come out on July 6th. (Which technically means there was two this week.) No word yet on what the second one (or any others) look like. But our friend The Playwright talked to a Cast Member at the Times Square Disney Store and they said:

“there are others in the series that represent cities from around the world like Tokyo and London that will be released soon.”

We talked a little about the black design on the first post. It’s reminiscent of the Holidays Around the World vinyl, only this time the flags are in little mickey head symbols instead of circles. Take a look at the back of the vinyl courtesy of The Playwright.

Also, here is a look at the back of the box with an explanation of sorts for the series.

The Disney blog post didn’t quite clarify the release location of these. Disney Stores? Yes. All or just certain locations? Who knows. They could technically release one of each week in a different country!

What do you think? What do you think will be the other vinyl figures? Just a background change or something else?

New Vinyls Were Only An Illusion

WDWNT on July 7, 2012

Update 7/8/12 These re-releases seem to only have happened at Disney Stores that have already released a city specific figure of their own. (NYC, Chicago, SF, Tokyo, Paris, London, Dublin) Also, thanks to the Playwright in NYC, we know the Global Vinyl was $9.95, but the others will be $12.95.

Thanks to this picture of a poster sent to us by The Playwright that was hanging at the Times Square Disney Store, we get a look at the other 5 “Magic Around the World” Vinylmation that will be released over the next five weeks at Disney Stores.

Feeling a sense of deja vu? We were excited to get 5 new Disney Store “world themed” vinyl figures, but instead all this meant was a re-issue of the previously location exclusive figures into other cities. This continues the Disney Store trend of turning “location exclusive” figures into “city specific” figures. They have previously released figures from New York, Chicago or San Francisco online for everyone to buy. I personally enjoy the idea of making some figures hard to get and only available in one city’s stores. So here is the lineup:

July 2 – Global Vinyl
July 6 – London Guard
July 13 – EDO Japan Mickey
July 20 – France
July 27 – Leprechaun
August 3 – Geisha Japan

25% Off Disney Store Sale

WDWNT on June 22, 2012

I’ve never seen a store make so much of a 25th anniversary. You’d have to live under a rock, or not be a Disney fan, to not know the Disney Store is celebrating 25 years tomorrow. Honestly, as I’ve said before, I don’t really celebrate any store’s birthday. But there is reason to care about this one.

Use promo code HAPPY25 to get the discount online. Print the coupon at this link to get the discount in the store. Let us know what you get! Also, the first 250 people in line at each store will receive these:

New San Fran Vinylmation May 11

WDWNT on June 22, 2012

Update: 4/6/12 Disney has posted the correct Lombard St. Vinylmation today.

It’s a very colorful, cartoonish look at this famous winding hillside street. This is actually a very appealing figure to me because it really stands out among anything we have ever seen. The Golden Gate Bridge in the head with the sun rays and the birds in the ears make this one a real treat.

The details of the Enrique Pita signing are still the same.

And like with many of these city specific figures, it comes in a beautifully designed tin.


Update: The original picture was a picture of a previously released vinyl. We’re not sure, but it looks like the vinylmation.com blog might have just pictured the wrong figure. (We thought the name was a little weird.) So we’ve replaced it with this one. The rest of the info is probably correct, just with a different figure. (Thanks to those who pointed this out)

The Vinylmation blog has announced a new Vinylmation coming to the San Francisco Disney Store on May 11.
This 9″, called Lombard Street, was designed by Enrique Pita and will be available at the Stockton St. Disney Store. Enrique will be on hand the following day for a signing on May 12 from 8a-11a at the store.

Since we don’t have the right image of the figure, here’s a picture of Lombardo St. You probably recognize it from TV and films. If done right, this would look really cool on a vinyl.
