Nerds Rock!
Oh, as a nerd I can relate to these… I can’t wait for Donald! We saw Chip and Dale at Trade City, but this is our first 3D look at my favorite duck.
The rest of the band!
Well okay, maybe not the rest of the band, but today Disney’s Vinylmation Blog posted some new photos of upcoming Vinylmations. As I asked for last week when they announced Sam the Eagle (I’m going to just assume they read this blog); Disney has shown us another member of the Electric Mayhem- Janice from the Muppets Two collection. (Now if they would just release Animal, Dr. Teeth, Floyd and Zoot!)
They also revealed a Mushroom and Caterpillar from Cutesters Too, and Donald Duck from the Nerds Rock collection. I’m glad Cutesters Too won’t all be the Kids in Costumes, like we saw at Trade City. I think I perfer not having people, who aren’t specific characters, on vinylmation and just using the body as a canvas for artwork.
Also shown were a Walt Disney World 40th Anniversary piece, as well as a 9″ showing the Matterhorn for some unannounced series that they stress is way in the “future”.
Check out the rest of their blog post, dated November 8th, at: eventservices.disney.go.com/static/vinylmation/blog.html
Also of note: These photos were released to thank the community for their following of the new Disney Vinylmation Facebook page at facebook.com/Vinylmation. If you have Facebook you should follow them so they can reward us further.

Nerds Rock, Price Wackiness and Disney Store Online Update
A few news and notes about today…
Cupid “Love is Blind” 9″ Holiday 2 figure from Q. Kimbal is available at the Disney Store Online (as well as D-Street in ORL and CA). Grab it while you can… LE 450. Retail is $48.95. Beautiful detail on this piece.
Flags 12 figure open window figures are at the Disney Store Online. $9.95.
WDW 40th anniversary open window 6 figures are available at the Disney Store Online for $12.95. Odd story here. That was the price at D-Street Orlando, but under the sticker you could see there was a $16.95 price tag. Well, when the set was put up online this morning, it was selling for $16.95. They have since reduced it back down to $12.95. It’s a nice retro looking set, but 17 bucks would have been a bit much for these.
9″ and 3″ combo Urban 5 Racecar and Driver set BACK up for sale online. I just grabbed one for $74.95. There is a promo code for $5 shipping right now… SHIPFIFTY
A Trading Event at WDW was announced. March 18th from 6pm – 9pm at the Contemporary Resort. We will have more information on this as the date approaches, but mark your calendars now.
And some a new release date: February 18th!
Both Disneyland and WDW will see the release of 9″ Park 5 Fantasmic and 9″ Park 5 Tree of Life. Also, the much anticipated open window Nerds Rock series. Here is a look at the Chip, Dale and Donald figures, as well as some of the Nerds Rock Disney merchandise as a sneak peak at what the other figures could be.
