Donald Duck Popcorns!

WDWNT on August 27, 2013

The second series of Popcorns is almost upon us and it appears Donald Duck will lead the charge.

This figure is set to be released on August 9th. A few interesting notes… it will be an LE of 2500. Will all future Popcorns be an LE? Or is this a variant Donald? Only variants from series one had an LE. We did know there would be a Donald in Popcorns series 2, it was told to us by Disney and we saw his concept art on the boxes from series one. And this product shot does look a little different to me, so a variant is a possibility.

It will also retail for $19.95. Originally Popcorns were priced at $24.95, then went on sale online for $5 around Christmas, then settled in at $19.95 online and in the parks. So that is a welcome change. I love the look of the above Donald and Maria Clapsis is credited with the design. Doug Strayer was credited with all of series one. One final note, we do still expect to see a Stitch and Frankenweenie as part of this second series.

Mickey’s Circus- Popcorns

WDWNT on September 12, 2012

We learned a lot about Popcorns at Mickey’s Circus including the actual creation of the series.

Artist Doug Stayer created this art that Thomas Scott decided to turn into a series of Vinylmation. The series will be released in waves. No set number of figures in each wave, but it seems that they will let us know what will be in each series. If you didn’t know by now, Popcorns is a new platform for Vinylmation that will be sold in open window, popcorn shaped, boxes. Each will be based on Characters from the Disney movies or cartoons. The first series will be released at D-Streets on September 28th and retail for $24.95 (even the variants).

This series will include: Chip/Dale, Chernabog, Jack Skellington, Kermit, Sully, Dumbo, Goofy, Mickey

Pluto (online exclusive).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As far as variants go, there are at least 2 in the first series and they are both LE 2500. A Black and White Mickey that debuted at Comic Con and can still be found for sale at DisneyStore.com and a Clown face Dumbo. The Dumbo was first sold at Mickey’s Circus, but can now, as of 9/11, be found at D-Street Orlando.

The second series will be released next fall, but we already have a peak at two of the figures, Frankenweenie and Stitch.

 

 

Popcorns Explained

Popcorns Explained
Release Date: TBD
Price: TBD
Details: Popcorns is a series of uniquely designed vinyl collectibles each with their own features but holding a similar feel through the set. I equate it to Park Starz, but with Disney cartoon and movie characters.

Wow, so glad the bat bow tie is a separate piece instead of just painted on.

His eyes look great. The hat is wonderfully sized with the rest of the figure.

This Dumbo Popcorns is the normal version of the LE Variant we saw at the last WDW Trade Night. Love it!

Goofy was assumed because of the John Carter video a few months back. His eyes look great. The hat is wonderfully sized with the rest of the figure.
