Another hidden figure inside a video. Disney just loves to do this sort of thing. Go to the Sketch to Shelf video and watch until 48 seconds in. There you will find the above imagine. Now this does nto appear to be the “Classic Minnie” we saw that is going to be for sale at D23, however the video says these are D23 items. Interesting….
What do you think? I personally really enjoy the fancy Mickey. I’m gonna have to try to get one of those for myself!
Today, Nacho pulled back the curtain on a brand new Two-Pack that he has been teasing for the past two weeks. It turns out that his “fancy” Minnie and top hat Mickey are in fact a brand new New York City exclusive!!! Take a look at the full designs below:
These two figures are supposed to represent Mickey and Minnie heading out to an old time Broadway show. According to Nacho, the Mickey has a “soft matte finish”, while Minnie has “a light pearlescent finish on her flapper dress”. The top hat and flapper hat on the figures are perfectly over the top too. And it seems like Nacho is just as excited about these as I am. Being born and raised in New York, I definitely feel a strong attachment to these figures, especially that box. I love going to Broadway shows and getting all dressed up and making a fun night out of it, just like these two are doing! According to Nacho, this two-pack should be available now at the Times Square Disney store. It doesn’t appear that they are limited, and no price was given. What do you guys think? Will you be adding these showstoppers to your collection?
The Preview Center was where many people saw Walt Disney World for the first time. Here is some background info on the Preview Center that we hope to see recreated for the upcoming Florida Project event at Walt Disney World. We will also take another look at the FREE gift for guests to the Vinylmation Day.

This Minnie Mouse Vinylmation above is the FREE gift guests to the Vinylmation Day of the Florida Project will receive. Minnie is designed with the clothing the “Disney Girls” wore at the Walt Disney World Preview Center. The Preview Center opened on Jan. 16, 1970, and was the first building to open on Walt Disney World property. Located on Hotel Plaza Boulevard, today the building is home to the Amateur Athletic Union. More than 1.4 million people visited the Preview Center to check out what was to become the Vacation Kingdom of the World. The Disney Girls were on hand to answer all the questions people had. Guests could also buy Disney souvenirs, like pennants and guidebooks.

I like the idea of this figure, the history behind it and the clothing is perfectly captured, but the complaints about the face are valid. It doesn’t look right. It’s not because it’s Minnie on new mold. She looks great on the new DCL figure. I also think a generic female’s face would have worked. Kind of like the Cast Member Exclusive Ambassador figure from awhile back.
