I can’t wait for some kind of Star Wars land expansion… so I have more spots to take photos of Vinylmation! In the mean time, we use the limited space provided at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We took series 3 of Star Wars around the park. I hope you enjoy.
Over on Vinylmation Exchange a cool picture popped up. David Kramp of Vinylmation Exchange put together this sheet to explain all the figures coming out in the new Star Wars 3 set. For those of us who are not Star Wars expert, David has listened all the names of the characters to make it easier for people who want to explain which figures they want to trade. Thanks David, from the whole Vinylmation community!

Ep. 121 Tom Morrow Chaser A long, long time ago. In a galaxy far, far away. Two intrepid podcasters set out to broadcast the news of Vinylmation to all known lands. They had on board a set of Star Wars series 3 to review and even talked to one of the set’s designers, Maria Clapsis. They encountered other special guests as well. But not all went as planned… |
Star Wars Series 3
Release Date: (varies, see below)
Disney is spreading out the SW vinyl releases over the four Star Wars Weekends:
Release Date at Darth’s Mall DHS: June 7, 2013
Release Date at D-Street Disneyland: June 10, 2013
Update 04/30/13 Star Wars 3 Variant and Chaser revealed.
Update 04/01/13 Steven Miller released some product info for the Star Wars 3 series. The highlights include a $13 price point for blind boxes as opposed to the $15 of SW2. Also, the 2000 LE size for the Han Solo. His price point is a whopping $33 and he will be available at Disneyland as well.
The Disney Park Blog has released a photo of 11 of the figures for the upcoming Return of the Jedi themed Star Wars Series 3 Vinylmation set plus 2 Limited Edition figures. These will all debut, along with the Vinylmation Series 9 Jr. Droids, at Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios beginning on May 17th. (then presumably later at Disneyland)
A few of the highlights: 2 Ewoks. We knew there had to be at least one. Another Luke… this time in black Jedi robes. Another Lando… this time in disguise and it seems to use the same helmet shaped head Vader had in Series 2. A continued use of ears to show back grounds, such as the stars in space and the trees on Endor. I think it is an well chosen lineup out of the film.

Ep. 114 Pink Rock Star This week we have a detailed talk about the Urban Redux Super Mystery Chasers. We also discuss the Star Wars 3 and Wild West reveals and the Cutesters en Vogue and Mickey Through the Years releases. Of course we have a full release and events calendar as well. |
Star Wars Series 3 is coming in May 2013 to be released at Star Wars Weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This installment will have a Return of the Jedi Theme. They showed us a few figures.
Today, at Celebration VI in Orlando, Disney announced series 3 of Star Wars. Like most people expected it appears to be attached to the third movie, Return of the Jedi. So far we’ve seen an Admiral Ackbar and a 9″ Jabba with Jr Salacious.
This is amazing news! My only worry is this. Does that mean series 4 might be Phantom Menace related? That would sadden me. The other big question is cost. If series 2 is $14.95, how much will series 3 be??
What else would you like to see from this series remembering that it is probably Return based?
