Jr.’s 3

Good Luck or Bad Luck? That is the question Disney asks us with the upcoming Jr.’s 3 set.

Horseshoes, lucky clovers, black cats and broken mirrors will all be part of this themed set in which half of the vinyls are good and the other half are bad luck!

What images to you think are lucky or unlucky?

A New Thing to Trade!

It was teased at Trade City this year, and now it’s come true!

Now at the Florida D- Street store there is a clear box where you can trade Vinylmation Jrs!

We were at the Festival of the Masters today and we will soon be posting more photos and a new Podcast about our visit, but we couldn’t wait to announce this new fun feature to you. So far it’s only been seen at the D-street story in Downtown Disney, but hopefully it will be expanding soon. One note: trading is the same as 3″ clear box trading, the only caveat is that your Vinylmation Jr need to have the metal keyring-ish clip on top. I’d you got one from the Sports or Oh! Mickey collections that doesn’t have that feature, you can not trade.

Look back here later tonight for more photos.

Keep collecting!

Pint Sized Disney: A Charming Use for Juniors

Instead of reviewing a Jr Vinylmation this week, I decided that I would let you in on a little thing that I love using my Jr figures for. All of my Jr Vinylmations have been used for this purpose, and it’s called phone charms.

Phone charms are a little way you can express yourself when you are all dressed up like a boring person. They so so much about a person; mine say that I love star Wars, Vinyl/ Disney, and I like alligators. My phone charm holster has three things on it: a Storm Trooper, a Black Cauldren Jr, and an alligator toe. And honestly, my vinyl is my favorite attachment right now!!! I think that phone charms are a cool way to use all of your favorite Jrs. What do your phone charms say about you?

Update: 9/27/11 Disney says the surprise release of these Jr Keychains was very popular and that more shipments are on the way. We also updated some pictures below.
The Playwright always has his finger on the pulse of the NYC Times Square Disney Store. They have just put an unannounced release on the shelves. Jr versions of some of their exclusive 3″ styles. They retail for $9.95 a piece and are limited to 5 per style per guest.

I think these look really good and will sell very, very well to tourists passing through the Times Square Store as little NYC themed Disney souvenirs. What a great product in terms of marketing.
