Full Preview of the Park 13 Combo Topper Released

WDWNT on October 31, 2013

November 22nd continues to be a jam-packed release day, as the Official Vinylmation Blog revealed yet another figure that will release on that date.  Today we got a full preview of the Park 13 combo topper, and it features the mouse from Mickey Magnificent, an attraction at Magic Kingdom.  This topper was designed by Maria Clapsis, and will release at the parks and online for $24.95 each.  Take a look at the preview:

Another great topper to add to the collection, this one features two accessories, a top hat and cane.  I also love the cunning expression on Mickey’s face.  Definitely one of the stronger combo toppers we’ve seen in a while.  And the bunny on the hat is a nice touch.  What do you guys think? Will you be picking this one up?

RoE: Park 13 and Combo Topper

WDWNT on September 17, 2013

Park 13
Expected release date: November 29th, 2013
8 figure blind box plus combo topper

Update: Park 13 Signing on November 29th, 2013 from 5 pm to 7 pm at D-Street WDW.

Mickey Magnificent is the combo topper. It will be released on November 22nd, a week before the expected set release, for $24.95. Which begs the question, what is the Tower of Terror figure we saw. Did they really show us the chaser first? And is he really the chaser again?

Below are more close up of figures we already know about.

Park 13: Another Tower of Terror Figure Revealed

WDWNT on August 27, 2013

Is it just me, or is Tower of Terror becoming the new Yeti? We are getting a lot of them. The Disney Parks Blog teased readers with a look at our first known figure from Park 13.

It is a Cast Member from the Tower of Terror. I’d love to see this in color, but it looks like he has a cap drawn onto one ear and the rustic inside of the hotel look drawn onto the ears as well. Do you like this more than the Tower of Terror Chaser figure?

Park 13 Explained

Park 13
8 Figure Blind Box Series
Expected to be released in November 2013

08/29/13 Today Vinylmation World posted some pics of the Park 13 series. What do you think of these? Where do you think the Bellhop we saw earlier fit into this set?

The Head Salesman
(Trader Sam, Chief Name)
Jungle Cruise
Magic Kingdom
Long time coming. Beautiful design with umbrella and flowers in the ears. We still need a Park Starz version.

There is a ton of talk about his name and both sides are kind of correct. This figure for sure represents the Magic Kingdom version and not the Disneyland version. But here is a link to the best article I could find about the name. It is from a former Jungle Cruise Skipper.
Three Headed Troll
Maelstrom 
Norway, Epcot
A beautifully drawn depiction of the most memorable part of this attraction. The canvas is full of color and personality.
Box ‘O Bot Target
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spun
MK, Disneyland
Odd choice, but a neat nod to a fun attraction. A good overall design with the Zurg targets and starry ears.
Claire de Room
It’s Tough to be a Bug
Animal Kingdom, DCA
Very simple figure. Not my first choice for a character from this attraction, but she does decorate a fun billboard.
Devil
Mr. Toads Wild Ride
MK, Disneyland
Nice simple look on a popular character from a beloved attraction. Love the pitch fork.
Injun Joe’s Cave
Tom Sawyer’s Island
Magic Kingdom
A nice feature in the cave itself, but an odd depiction on the vinyl.
Catastrophe Canyon
Backlot Tour
DHS
The attractions needs to go. But this part was always fun. Explosions, fire and gushing water taking guests back stage of action movie’s special effect. The design is full of action and really puts you on the ride.

Pardon Our Pixie Dust
Mystery Chaser
Disney Theme Parks
A wonderful chaser depicting the famous signs Imagineers post around construction zones at the Disney parks.

Park 13 Chaser Spotted

WDWNT on March 1, 2013

Today at D-Street, the Park 13 combo toppers went on sale along with the brand new Frozen vinyls.  Vinylmation Exchange member Raul Chewie Rivas pulled the brand new park 13 chaser and posted pictures of it.  Take a look below:

The chaser was designed by Caley Hicks, and is an interpretation of the construction signs used around the parks.  I love the use of caution tape all around the arms (the back also features a pretty cool sorcerer Mickey).  How do you guys think this chaser compares to other park chasers? And do you think this is better than the Imagineering vinyls that were released at D23 this year? Let us know!!
