Disney Store artist Enrique Pita has been a bastion for DS Vinylmation release info since the flow of updates slowed from the company itself. Recently, he Instagramed three new junior key chains he created specifically for the NYC Times Square Disney Store.
The three figures are sold individually. There is NYC Cab Driver Goofy, NYC Policeman Mickey and NYC Fireman Donald! Wow, what amazing detail on these 1.5 inch canvases. They are getting better and better. To actually convey emotion on the faces of these is incredible to me. Here is a photo via Vinylmation Kingdom of each of the figures in the packaging.

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 Playwright sent us this picture from the NYC Times Square store. The Statue of Liberty Minnies are on sale for $6.00!
Anyone going to NYC?
With Linsanity taking over the Garden and the Giants just bringing home another Super Bowl trophy, the furthest thing from a New York sports fan’s mind are the Yankees. But Spring Training is right around the corner and Disney has released the 3″ New York Yankees MLB Teams figure at the NYC Times Square Disney Store.
Thanks to The Playwright for all these pictures. As you can see, they still have some 3″ Hey Taxi tins and Muppets 2 on hand.
These look great in person… I just picked up my Red Sox the other day at WDW. So to the news that Red Sox sold out at D-Street… they got plenty more in stock. These MLB figures are my favorites of the Teams series designs. There is a ton of character and detail to them.
For those of you who keep your open window figures in the box, the packaging is nicely designed as well. The Yankees figure seen above has also been released at WDW and DLR in various stores as well as online. For detailed info, check out MLB Teams Explained.
