On February 22, the 5th of 8 of the Fantasia combos will be released via the Disney Vinylmation Facebook Store.
The surprise here is Eric Caszett is credited with the design of Bacchus and Donkey. We were under the impression Thomas Scott did the entire set. Like the rest, it will retail for $24.95 and be an edition size of 1500.
At Mickey’s Circus, Disney announced a two pack of Vinylmation to represent the movie “The Lone Ranger” (in theaters July 3rd). Next month, on June 21st, these two figures will come to the Disney Parks. There will only 2000 of these and they will cost $26.95 each. Eric Caszatt designed both figures, which are pretty cool. I especially enjoy the bird accessory on Tonto.
So enjoy your second Johnny Deep Vinylmation. And if you get two sets, you can put the two Rangers together, and it will be like you have a Winklevoss twins!
Disney announced that they will make a better effort putting out the Vinylmation when the movie hits the theaters from now on.
We all knew it was going to be a long two days for Eric Caszatt when the Classics collection comes out, but today the Vinylmation blog announced that the signing at Disneyland would no longer take place. The one at WDW is still going on though. No word on what exactly happened, but it’s sad to see such a cool idea (back to back signings) not happen. It does still seem like DLR will be getting the set released on Saturday November 10th.
This is just a small update, but today Eric Caszatt tweeted a picture of the 9″ Yellow Blank he approved as the base to his upcoming Mickey’s Circus Lion. Just a neat little sneak peak of the insides of the vinylmation process. Below is the figure after the paint job.
Remember that registration is open now for the Mickey Circus Vinylmation Day on September 9th, 2012. If you haven’t signed up, go there now!

Ep. 088 Adventurers Club Colonel Chaser – Mickey’s Circus This is our huge recap of Mickey’s Circus, the largest Vinylmation event of the year. We review the event and talk about each and every Vinylmation Preview we saw all weekend long. We also have a special interview with Disney Design Group artists Thomas Scott, Eric Caszatt, Maria Clapsis and Caley Hicks. |
Update: 2/6/12 The DisneyStore.com updated the picture on the SB commemorative figure to represent the Giants designed figure.
Apparently it is the same figure as we showed you in the ad from last night. I’m a little disappointed in the design as I thought this was just a placeholder. Other than the logo on the chest, it doesn’t really say New York Giants. The colors are a generic red and yellow instead of Giant blue. I suppose it is possible this is also a placeholder. Also of note, the status of the figure has been changed to backordered.
2/5/12 Much to this podcast host’s dismay, the New York Giants colors and logo will adorn Disney’s commemorative Vinylmation.
Note the small print: “Site image will be updated to reflect the NYG mid-Monday morning PT.” Here is a screen shot of the DisneyStore.com’s listing as of about an hour after the game.
You can actually add this item to your cart and purchase it right now. Guess Eli Manning saved me $18.95 tonight. This limited release vinyl complete with Super Bowl XLVI logo on helmet was designed by Eric Caszatt. The price is a bit higher than the regular NFL teams figures, but it is a commemorative item. What say you Giants fans… adding this to your collection?

Vinylmation artist Eric Caszatt (@bigcrazy1) twetted this today:
Robots 2? Maybe, although I figured that would be a Disney Store product and I wouldn’t think Eric would be tweeting it… maybe we will see tonight at the WDW Trade Event? I sure hope we see some good stuff there like Park 8 LEs… but this will do. Look at the light on his head! This bot is fantastic.
This Sunday the Patriots face the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. After the game, Disney will release a special commemorative figure designed by Eric Caszatt that will feature the winning teams colors and log on the front of the jersey. This figure will be available online only and is limited release, not edition. Does this new figure appeal to Vinylmation fans outside the Patriots and Giants fans? Also, I’d rather see a figure like this an LE, not limited release. How about you?
