Update 01/07/13 We have photos of the chasers and variant chaser for this series. Follow the links to see them.
You might have seen this picture from a earlier post, but look below the Star Wars 2 set. What are those? They look like vinylmation! They are green and white and black. The colors sorta make them seem like Kermits wearing Mickey Ears.
We got the answer from Thomas Scott in a tweet today. He posted the above picture.
It looks like these will be a green variant of the Theme Park Favorite Classic Fan. Below is the Red version.
What do you think?
Disney artists Thomas Scott and Casey Jones stopped by D-Street Orlando to pick up some Abe Lincoln Park Starz Variants (their latest creations) and left behind some treats for fans.
Update 10:32am Picture from Vinylmation World (@vinylmationworl) who is in line at D-Street Orlando confirms hat.
So weird the DisneyStore.com actual box picture shows him hatless. I just figured it was off his head and to the side in the box.

Today is a giant release day in Vinylmation and one of those releases is a 3 inch Thomas Scott designed Uncle Sam figure. It is $16.95 and available both online and at D-Streets… but it is not without a little mystery that will surely get resolved with D-Street opens up in Orlando shortly.
In the picture released on the Disney Parks Blog months ago and the turn around view in the vault, Uncle Sam has his traditional stovepipe hat:
However online, not only does the picture present this figure without a hat, the description specifically notes he does not have one:
“Three cheers for the red, white and blue on our Vinylmation Holiday Series 3” Figure. This starry salute to Independence Day 2012 depicts Uncle Sam with mouse ears in place of his traditional stovepipe hat.”
I really hope that exclusion is NOT the case. The hat is the perfect and necessary accessory in this case. Now, DisneyStore.com is not always the most reliable source for information, so we are contacting the artist to find out. And if you pick up an Uncle Sam this morning, please let us know! The packaging is great. As long as they make the boxes look this nice, I actually do enjoy these over the tins so you can display your figure inside and stack up the boxes.
Lets start with the biggest, most exclusive, piece first.
Today the Park 8 Yeti was released exclusively online. The Casey Jones figure costs $74.95 and there are only 1000 of them. Buy it at DisneyStore.com

Also remember that Disneyland will be having a trading night tonight from 7-10 at the Pacific Ballroom at the Paradise Pier Hotel.They will also be having signing with Monty Maldovan and Quynh Kimball throughout the day and at the trade event.
Over in Orlando, WDW will have a Park Starz Series artist signing with Thomas Scott and Casey Jones from 5-7 at D-Street. D-Street WDW will also be getting the new 9″ CYO Vinylmation ’95 pieces.
For all the details of upcoming events go to our calender at
Disney artist Thomas Scott was at D-Street Orlando on Friday signing figures from the Alice in Wonderland Vinylmation series.
The line started forming around 3:30pm but heavy rain and hail kept the crowd at bay until closer to 5pm.
Luckily I had friends with umbrellas. The signing, usually right outside the storefront, was moved indoors.
Some guests had packages signed while others had Thomas autograph the various Alice figures. He even signed some Snow White Jr packaging.
The next artist signing is May 11 with the designers of Urban 9 at the Walt Disney World trading night held at the Contemporary Resort from 6p-9p.
Thanks to a post by @TouringPlans, we now have a look at the three Park Starz Variants. They were unveiled today at the Disney Moms Conference.
They include Copper Abe Lincoln, Gold Yeti and Figment with his yellow sweater. They are set to come out on June 29th along with a signing with artists Thomas Scott and Casey Jones at D-Street Orlando from 5p-7p.
Much of this info is already known, some of it confirms dates we thought we knew and still more is new to us all.
The Maleficent and Prince Phillip set (LE 1200) will go on sale at D-Streets on April 20th for $74.95.
We also have been reminded about the Thomas Scott signing at D-Street Orlando tomorrow, April 20th, from 5p-7p. The poster seems to confirm the Alice Flowers and Walrus and Carpenter sets will be available to purchase and then for Thomas Scott to sign.
Thomas Scott and Casey Jones will be signing on Friday, June 29 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at D-Street Orlando. As of right now, the only variant we know of is a bronze Abe Lincoln.
Today we finally get a sneak peak at the Thomas Scott designed Alice LE set that includes a 9″ Crying Alice and 3 Jr figures that will be released on April 13.
It is limited to 2500 figures and will retail for $74.95. I think the proportions for Alice are perfect on the 9″ figure. Everything seems to fit much better here than on the Animation 1 3″ design. Even though that 3″ was one of my favorites, this one just knocks it out of the park. Here, we also get another very detailed Jr human figure. Alice, as with Snow, the Dwarfs and Aurora, looks wonderful on the small canvas.
I like the price too. 75 bucks keeps this one relatively priced with previous releases. We were all a bit worried after some other price increases. Does this LE set make it into your collection? What are your thoughts on the design? For more on Alice LE sets, check out our explained page.
