9″ Lady Liberty Will Be Online

WDWNT on October 28, 2011

It looks like some, non-LE Vinylmation will slowly makes their way to the new city specific section of the Disney Store Online. The latest is this 9″ Statue of Liberty figure designed by Jim Valeri.

This open edition figure was released earlier in the year at the Times Square Disney Store in NYC, but will be available online as of November 7… which also has the distinction of being the one year anniversary of the new Times Square store (and was just 2 days before our first podcast!). The retail price is $44.95. 
The Disney Vinylmation Blog also re-announced two figures that have already been for sale at the Times Square Store for awhile. They will be at the Times Square store on November 7, but were not specifically mentioned as being online.
I “Mickey Head” NY is a 9″ designed by Marcella Lau, LE 1,540 and a retail price of $49.95.
Bridges is a 9″ figure designed by Oskar Mendez. It is open edition and has a retail price of $44.95.

The daughter of a Southern California native, Marcella Lau was born and raised in Pasadena, California (the home of Disney Store Headquarters!). After graduating from Art Center College of Design with a degree in graphic design, Marcella joined the Walt Disney Company in 1997 and created everything from album covers for Disney Records to video game graphics for Disney Interactive. In 2006, Marcella joined the Disney Store team and since then she’s been designing all sorts of things… like Silly Bot from Vinylmation Robots.

Marcella’s favorite Vinylmation series is Villains because she loves all the characters. When Marcella isn’t at Disney Store, she loves being a great Mom to her two young children.

What are some other Vinylmation Marcella Lau has designed?
