According the vinylmation.com the Hong Kong Disneyland will be introducing vinylmation trading to select locations around the park. This will start on November 21st.
We here at Destination Vinylmation hope you guys enjoy the trading aspect as much as we have in the States.
According to Disney’s Vinylmation blog, Disneyland will now have Pirates series in D-Street on July 1 just as Orlando. Check out our Pirates Explained page for details.
Also, to best both US locations, Hong Kong Disney will see the Pirates series in stores on June 18th! Just days away. So if that Hong Kong Vinylmation eBay seller has some Pirates listed soon, they may actually be legit! (I had to, sorry). Here is the picture posted on the Hong Kong Vinylmation page:

| This weekend we got a nice surprise in the mail (well okay, we paid a lot of it, but we’re gonna call it a nice surprise). Our 3″ vinylmations from Hong Kong flew all the way from Asia. Between Dumbo and his feather, and Sorcerer Mickey and his magical hat, they made their way to our homes for some pictures. Check out the picture above, the figures came in the new (and much hated) boxes, we prefer the tins. | ||

| Check out the back sides of these figures. Both have a reference to the 5th Anniversary Celebration that is the event these vinyl were released for. Also notice the hidden Mickey that the magic glitters form on Mickey’s back. | ||
 |
Check out the bottom of each figure. They both say “Hong Kong Disneyland” and reference the “Celebration in the Air” 5th Anniversary Festival. Notice that neither figure mentions an artist. That fact still eludes us. (Also pictured is the platform from the bottom of the boxes.) | |

Here is the Hong Kong 9″ Castle Vinylmation. Check out the great castle on top. With a great silhouette of Mickey in the body.

What are your opinions? How much would you pay for each of these?

Ep. 011 Yeti Mouse
On this episode, Nick and MC review the recently released series, Nerds Rock! They also review the Park 5 9″s and the 3″ exclusive figures from Hong Kong’s 5th Anniversary. This week they added a regular Online Disney Store section, to keep listeners not in either Orange County up to date on what they can buy. We also answer a special question in the Mystery Mailbag section.

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.
