New Characters to Join Disney Infinity 2.0 Lineup

WDWNT on August 7, 2014

After soliciting fan input over the past year, Disney Interactive has announced the addition of the top two requested characters to the upcoming Disney Infinity 2.0 lineup of Merida, Maleficient, the Marvel Superheroes and others: Tinker Bell and Stitch!

Stitch, The lovable “experiment 626″ from the popular Lilo & Stitch films, comes to the Disney Infinity Toy Box 2.0 along with his trusty cosmic blaster and the ability to super jump to galactic new heights.

One of Disney’s most iconic characters, Tinker Bell also enters the world of Disney Infinity with her magical healing Pixie Dust and the ability to glide to the stratosphere for fast-flying action.

Players will be able to create all-new adventures featuring the entire collection of characters from across the Disney Infinity universe, along with hundreds of Disney and Marvel-themed items, locations, props and vehicles.

To start your adventure with Stitch and Tinker Bell, pick up Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes (2.0 Edition) when it hits stores this fall.

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.

Spotlight On: Ryan Branoff’s Stitch and Ugly Duckling

WDWNT on March 17, 2013

Our good friend Ryan sent us a few pictures of his latest custom Vinylmation. So here is Stitch and the Ugly Duckling.

“One of my favorite Disney movies is ‘Lilo & Stitch’ and I think at the emotional core of the movie is the scene where Stitch reads ‘The Ugly Duckling’ for the first time. I think it’s a great moment where Stitch realizes that he acts out because he is lonely. I wanted to capture this emotion in the set that I created. The way I tried to represent Stitch is a little bit different than how we’ve seen him in the past. He’s looking calm, and thoughtful. In addition to the 9″ figure, I knew to complete this set that I would need a 3″ Duckling and a picture book accessory. Both I think compliment the 9″ Stitch well and really complete the package!”

Nerds Rock! Stitch and Figment

WDWNT on February 9, 2012

Update 6/10/12 Available NOW online through the Vinylmation Facebook page store. Then will still be available at D-Streets starting June 22.



Update 5/29/12 Release date of June 22 and price of $12.95 confirmed for Stitch and Figment.

Yesterday Disney released pictures of the two next nerds in the Nerds Rock! series: Stitch and Figment. We first heard about these extras last year and now it looks like they are getting ready to stumble into our lives. No word yet on an actual release date.

 Nerd Figment

Check out the wicked beanie on top. I wonder if the propeller will spin? It does not on the Donald Nerd. His shirt seems to say, “Let your ideas take flight.” It is the logo from the Imagination Institute. Amazing! A must have!
Nerd Stitch

The poor guy doesn’t look happy to be a nerd, but he sure is adorable. Even the glass cockeyed seem to add to the character. As many have said before, his shirt makes him look like a cast member of The Big Bang Theory. (Which just last episode had Shamy making their own podcast.) Also, a must buy!

Are either of these nerds going to be invited into your Vinylmation party?

“A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” Confirmed

WDWNT on October 26, 2009

A recent Disney press release concerning Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party confirms that “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” show is coming to the Magic Kingdom, at least on party nights:

Walt Disney World Resort unwraps a sleighful of entertainment offerings during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom on 19 select evenings beginning Nov. 10 – including a rockin’ new stage show to welcome the winter wonderland season.  “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” features Stitch, Buzz Lightyear, Mike Wazowski and a jubilant cast of party-goers who discover the true meaning of the season during their annual Christmas party.  The interactive musical revue features “songs of the season” in the style of today’s hottest Radio Disney hits.
As previously reported, this show will use the new Tomorrowland stage formerly occupied by Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration.
What “songs of the season in the style of today’s hottest Radio Disney hits” actually means for the soundtrack of this new show is questionable. Does this mean that there will be holiday songs performed by Miley Cyrus and other Disney singers or will the music simply be “pop” versions of some classic holiday favorites?
It is also uncertain as to which, if any, characters will appear on stage and who will may appear on the screen above guests. There is a slight possibility of the living character technology being used in this show, but seeing as the description does not mention it, we are lead to believe that Mike Wazowski, Stitch, and Buzz Lightyear will be there in-person for each performance.
One final question we have is concerning performances of this show following the conclusion of the Christmas Parties. Since the now defunct “Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas” show and all of the other entertainment from the party typically became a part of the Magic Kingdom’s regular entertainment schedule during the holiday weeks, will “A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas!” make the cut as well? Only time will tell.
Be sure to stay tuned to WDW News Today as we get more information on this upcoming Magic Kingdom holiday stage show.
