Calling all Orange Bird fans… beginning on September 8th, you can head on over to Pin Traders at Disney Springs or Pirate’s Bazaar at the Magic Kingdom to pick up this exclusive Disney Parks Orange Bird Pop! Vinyl. Like many other Disney Parks Exclusive Pops, don’t expect to see this one sit on the shelves for too long.
Vinylmation Exchange has posted a new photo detailing two new Japanese exclusive vinyls coming out. The designs are of Mickey and Minnie and they represent the annual Japanese Doll Festival which occurs every year on March 3rd. 
Great use of accessories, these vinyls keep well with the Japanese style we’ve grown accustomed to, and would look great next to any other Japanese vinyls in a collection. These will release on December 26th. What do you guys think?
The Tins are back! Well, at least they keep coming. Today vinylmation.com announced that San Francisco is getting a 3″ exclusive of the Golden Gate bridge. Very cool. This figure has no edition size and is designed by Gerald Mendez. It will be released on August 27th at the Stockton Street Disney Store.

The front has a beautiful picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. |

The back has a longer shot of the bridge covered in fog. |

I like how the picture of the bridge on the vinyl on this side of the box… |
 |
connects to this side of the box… |
 |
the around to this side too. |
Well, there’s more out there. After learning about London, NYC, and San Fransisco exclusives, today @TheRealWeinbeez pointed us to the DisneyPinForum.com where Stitch2814 posted a picture of an exclusive Dublin vinylmation.

Dublin Shamrocks
Looks pretty cool. Reminds me of the St. Patrick’s Day pieces from the Holidays series. |
So what city do you think the next one will pop up in.
Update: 5/28/11 This London Disney Store on Oxford St. had it’s Grand Opening today. It is the largest Disney Store in Europe. Check out this new store at DisneyBrit.com. Here is a turn around of the London Exclusive 9″ Double Decker Bus Vinylmation:
I have to say, although I really like the overall design of the bus and the city skyline in the windows, I am severely disappointed there are no Disney Characters on this vinyl. Remember how awesome it was to turn around the NYC Hey Taxi and see Mickey Mouse!? – Nick
The shelves were stocked with Animation, Villains, Park 6, Urban 6, UK Flags and of course the 9″ Taxi and Bus exclusives.
Update: 5/26/11 In a comment by J, we found out that the price is £30 (~$50). He also clarified that it was Oxford Street in London, not Oxford itself. Thanks J!!
Over at Vinylnation.net user lindols found a couple of exclusive 9″ figures when they stopped by the new Disney Store at Oxford St. London (England).
The London Hey Taxi! figure is very similar to the one from NYC. It’s a taxi and in the head you can see the skyline of London. There’s Big Ben and the Tower Bridge.
The second one is the coolest I think. A double decker bus. In the window are more of London’s skyline, but the uniqueness of this vehicle makes this one a much more interesting figure.
Announced today were two exclusive vinylmation for San Fransisco. Both will be released on June 26th (the same day as the 3″ Hey Taxi in NYC). Both will also be exclusives to the Stockton Street Disney Store.
First up, another Tinned 3″. Woohoo! This time it’s a cable car. It looks awesome. I must have it! This figure is designed by Dan Beltran (most recently from the Cutesters Like You set).
The other one is a beautiful 9″ figure by Gerald Mendez. It will show the Golden Gate Bridge at night in the front, and then on the back is the bridge during the day! It is glorious. There will only be 1540 of these. Get them while you can. Only at the Stockton Street Disney Store in San Francisco.
Today, while as we discovered the London exclusives, Disney announced several new “location” themed exclusives. The first is a 3″ version of “Hey Taxi!”
It will be released exclusively at the Times Square Disney Store in NYC on June 26th. The design is by Jim Valeri, who also designed the original 9″ figure. And the second best part- It comes in a tin! Oh tin, I’ve missed you so, never leave us again!
“I love it! Exactly what I had hoped for! (and still hope for with the London Double Decker Bus) I love the 9″, but prefer to collect the 3″s.” – M.C.
What do you think?
The latest rumor (unconfirmed, but the flyer looks like it’s from Disney) is that Hong Kong is getting it’s own exclusive Vinylmations. They will be part of the 5th Anniversary Celebration called, “Celebration in the Air”.
The 9″ Castle Mickey is a Hong Kong exclusive. It will be a Limited Edition of 1000 and only available in the stores in Hong Kong Disney. The price will be HK$500 (~64 US$) and will be released on Jan. 21st.
The Sorcerer Mickey is similar to the one that came with our Combo Park 5s, except he isn’t winking, but his face seems to be the only change. The flyer claims this is out yesterday (Jan. 6th International Date Line thing!) and will cost HK$135 (~17 US$).
The most interesting, to me, is Dumbo! He comes with a cute little hat, and this is the first time we’ve seen Dumbo in Vinylmation form. Dumbo will also be released on Jan. 21st and will cost HK$135 (~16 US$).
If anyone is over in Hong Kong, we’d love some of these!
Here is the flyer we got the info from. Click to enlarge.
