Miranda Legendre (you used to know her as Aaralyn) will be at the Vinylmation day for Reflections of Evil. She wanted to tease you with some info of special giveaways and figures she will have.
“The poor unfortunate (or lucky) souls attending the Reflections of Evil event on Sunday should be prepared for a villainous good time. When the theme was announced at Mickey’s Circus last year, the excitement was instant for many collectors that couldn’t wait to celebrate the darker side of Disney.
I am incredibly excited about the event and will be displaying three custom vinylmation pieces this Sunday.
The first piece I will be revealing is the largest custom project I’ve created to date, entitled “A Fine Day for a Little Croquet.” In addition to being the largest project I’ve done, the project also features sculpted pieces as well as a custom base.
My other pieces on display will include my past 9” vinylmation of Tick Tock entitled “Time is Running Out” and a new 9”/3” set entitled “Seeing Spots.”
After the breakfast, when the event begins at 9:30, I will be offering custom doodles of the famous mouse to anyone that provides a blank CYO vinylmation. At random, I will also be handing out doodles throughout the event to lucky visitors at my table.
In addition, I will also be hosting a giveaway to win a 3” custom vinylmation. The first 25 people to visit my table after the breakfast will receive two entries into the giveaway, as well as a magnet featuring one of my past villains customs.
If you are not attending the event and want to see my latest updates live, I will be posting on my Instagram account (@MirandaLegendreArt) as well as on my Facebook page (facebook.com/MirandaLegendreArtworks). In addition, I will also be tweeting from my Twitter account (@MirandaLegendre).
I’m looking forward to meeting friends and fellow collectors on Sunday. If you are attending please stop by my trading table and say hello; hope to see you there!”

As people are packing their bags, we have been getting this questions a lot, “How Many Traders Should I Bring to Reflections Trade Event?” Here is my take on it, please feel free to comment and help your fellow traders if you have a different POV.
When trading with Cast Members, I feel that you generally go through a line (for 3″ figures) at an average of about once every 30-45 minutes. So lets say from 10a-7p you get through the line 18 times. Each time you get up there, you can trade 2 figures. So at most, we are talking about around 36 total trades. That is on the very high side, but I would rather be over-prepared. Remember there are other things going on that will take your attention away from the trading lines including: trading with other guests, the artist meet and greet, future Vinylmation displays, the Vinylmation presentation and the all important food and bathroom breaks. I personally average about one line an hour. I’d also say that about 60% of the figures you trade for, you will then just turn around and re-trade the next time you get up there. So short answer long, I’d say between 20-30 traders will get you through the day depending on what you own and are willing to carry.
You should also bring Vinylmation to trade with other guests. A ton of trading goes on there. I especially like the Thursday night trade show at Coronado. The past few years, I got all my trading out of the way there and didn’t have to worry about trading inside the event. Also, a lot of trading gets done in line while you are waiting to get up to the trade box.
Remember the golden rule when packing and carrying your Vinylmation. Keep them individually bagged, even your Cast Member traders, so they do not bang into each other and get scratched and smudged. Also, have all accessories with the figures that you intend to trade. Those fishing tackle boxes with dividers work well at these events. Also, don’t be afraid to bring a backpack or rolling case to easily transport your stuff… plenty of people use them.
DV will have live coverage all weekend long on the website, Twitter (@VinylmationNews) and Instagram (DestinationVinylmation). We will also have live video and chat of the Vinylmation Talk at 1pm on Sunday.

Ep. 132 Cactus This week we give a step by step rundown of what to expect at the Reflections of Evil trading event. We also go over the full calendar of events. All that, and a look at new NYC and Tokyo vinys and a peek at Villains Series 4. |
The Reflections of Evil Trade Event Schedule has been released. Reflections is the ticketed (now Sold Out) trade event that will take place at Epcot from September 13-15, 2013. We have a full explained page here.
The event will kick off with registration and product pick up on Thursday, September 12 at the Coronado Springs Convention Center, Veracruz A Ballroom from 10am-7pm. If you choose early pick up during RSP, your merchandise will be here. If not, you will have to pick it all up when you go to the event. Just a note, this process can take a couple hours. I don’t know exactly when the best time is, maybe mid afternoon? I went at open last year to pick up my stuff before work and had to leave after waiting over an hour in line and come back in the evening for another hour plus wait. However, two years ago I went in the evening and walked right up to the pick up table. There is also a free guest trading area that is accessible only after you pick up your event credentials.
The weekend schedule falls into line pretty much as expected. There will be trading areas with Cast Members and guests, games, auctions, meet and greets and signings on all three days. Saturday will include a “Pin Talk”, a look ahead to upcoming pins. Sunday will included “Vinylmation Talk”, a look ahead to upcoming Vinylmation. Friday will include a “Villains Review” and “Villains Mix & Mingle.” I assume this is some sort of a show and then character meet and greet. We will be talking extensively about the schedule and a guide to the event on podcast #132.
