Myths and Legends Photoshoot

Talk about hard pictures to take… it took some searching around Walt Disney World, but we found most of the Myths and Legends roaming about the land.

We didn’t want to hurt his feelings, but it was rather easy to spot him.

“To cross the gorilla bridge, you must answer these questions three.” He was kind of small, we just kind of walked around him.

Interestingly, this tiny Yeti had more range of motion in his arms than the giant beast inside the mountain.

Myths and Legends is a mystery set of 12 designed by the Disney Store Artists. Once again, they have decided to bring artist cards back, but to utilize them in a very unique way.

Big Foot
Quincy Sutton

The larger than normal feet is another shining example of innovation at the Disney Store. It is also just another reason why this new platform was developed.

Cyclops
Jim Valeri

Great job with the little details making him look down right nasty… which in this case is good.

Gargoyle
Enrique Pita

A seemingly simple idea, made to look brilliant with beautiful wings and some character in the facial expression.

Gnome
Nacho Rodriguez

I like the sculpted hat. I will say if you put this one against Caley Hick’s Gnome from Urban 8, I will take the Urban Gnome. But this guy looks like he is up to trouble.

Chupacabra
Nacho Rodriguez

No on really knows what this guy looks like, so imagination was endless for the artist here.

Medusa
Gerald Mendez

Nice job with the tangled web of snakes. I’m scared to look this one in the eyes.

Mermaid
Quincy Sutton

For some reason, the bright colors don’t allow this one to fit into the set in my opinion. I think in this case, she needed to have her face framed more by here hair.

Ogre
Enrique Pita

Big nose! I like how Disney Store artists often let the characters look to the side.

Pan with pipes
Quincy Sutton

Once again, Disney Store Artists rise above and beyond with accessories.

Troll
Nacho Rodriguez

This guy looks down right grumpy… and I love it. Great touch with the mushrooms drawn in the ears.

Yeti
Jim Valeri

Yeti is catching up to Cheshire Cat as one of the most used characters outside the Fab 5. His mouth is a little odd in my opinion, but I love the drool.

Myths and Legends Photos Surface

Vinylmation Kingdom had recently posted some photos of the Disney Store’s upcoming Myths and Legends series. It is rumored to be out on January 7th with no announcement by Disney as of this posting. What are your thoughts?

To me, it is another excellent set of designs, but continues the Disney Store’s recent trend of non-Disney character themed sets. That is beating an old drum, but if the sets were spread out and not the last 5 releases, it would be a different story. They also seem like great designs to spread through an Urban themed series.
