Spoiler. To see the chaser from Urban 6, click on the image to the left.
And now the back. Check out the tail. Kinda weird. But weird’s the appropriate word, right?. To see the back of the chaser from Urban 6, click on the image to the left.

Urban 6 Price- $11.95


Or at least that’s the price online for these figures. Also online are the Combo Packs for the price of $24.95. More in a few minutes from D-Street.

Update: Few minutes later. The price is confirmed at $11.95 at D-Street also!

They weren’t supposed to be online today, but they are.

Urban 6 individual boxes at Disney Store Online
Urban 6 Combo at Disney Store Online

Well, the price is better then the Urban 5 $12.95. What do you think! Leave a comment, and we’ll discuss the price changes.
Thanks to @BurgerBeachBlog for the heads up this morning (We were busy preparing for the Trade Show tonight!)

Two Tone Topper Time!

The rumors were true, the Urban 6 combo topper is two-tone Mickey similar to the Urban 5 combo topper.

As you can see, this one is Yellow. We haven’t found many people too crazy about the blah two-tone designs, but this bright Urban 6 figure is a step up from the dreary Urban 5. Will you be topping your Urban 6 collection off with this piece? We think it retails for $24.95, and it comes attached to a random Urban 6 blind box. They will be available tomorrow at D-Street Orlando and CA.

Urban 6 Vinylmation Explained

Update: 3/17/11 @zoekatherine sent us some pics of upcoming 9″ Urban 6 figures from DLR. We added those pics at the bottom, plus some Urban 6 Jumbo pins that might point to future 9″ Urban 6 figures. And we added a picture of the yellow two-tone Mickey combo topper.

Update: 4/8/11 Disney released official pictures of these figures. We posted those pictures and artist names.

Update: 3/4/11 Release date for Urban 6 announced as March 18th, 2011 at D-Street in Orlando and CA. The Urban 6 combo pack will also be released on the same day. No word on which Mickey will be part of the combo. “Sumo” by Doug Strayer was show in turn around.

Update: 2/20/11 We found new info about what seems to be the 9″ figures from this set (because we’ve seen the 12 3″s) Scroll down past the 3″s to see the 9″s.

Update: 2/6/11 We were reminded to take another look at a video on the Events page of the Vinylmation site and we finally got a shot of something new. Check out the bottom of this page for updates of new figures, as well as some updates to old ones. If you can figure out what else is new, let us know!

1/8/10 From the Disney Pin Site we get a sneak peak at the up coming Urban 6 vinylmation series. All of these are 3 inchers.

Combo Topper

This will be released the same day as the Urban 6 series
(March 18th). No idea what it will be, but most likely
will be a Mickey Mouse from a past movie or short.

Rumor says it will be a two toned Mickey like Urban 5
combo, but yellowish
.
Rumor was true, it’s a yellow two-tone Mickey…
similar to the brown two-tone Mickey from Urban 5.

1337 Mou53

Artist: Susana

Popular computer slang is the topic of this vinylmation. I’m not sure why they want us to “XLR8”? I enjoy the winking smile and the heart. Check out the “On the other hand” on one hand. On the other hand, lol, there’s a “high five”. As you see him leave, he’s politely says, “Bye for now” and “See you later”.

Cactus

Artist: Maria Clapsis

Classic cactus, in a bowl, with a blossoming flower in the right ear. Also, on the back of the head, an owl.

Cry Baby

Artist: Adrianne Draude

Sounds noisy. Sorta boring. A weird yellow color. I think it’s diaper needs changing.

Ice Cream Sundae

Artist: Adrianne Draude

To go with the Cutester Cupcake. Love the cherry on top.

Nature Cycle (White)

What goes up, must come down?
This reminds be of the Water Cycle diagrams in middle school science class. There is a Blue background variant.

Side Mouse

Artist: Thomas Scott

Sorta a combination of Big Eye Mickey, and
Upside Down Mickey. Just twisted to the side.

Sumo

Artist: Doug Strayer
Similar to the 2010 one of a kind Sumo Wrestler Pair by Quynh Kimball

Sunny Day

Artist: Thomas Scott

Sweepin Up… (wait, wrong copyright)
Check out the smile in the sun at the top.

Zipper


Artist: Thomas Scott

We’ve actually already seen this at Trade City. It looks cool though, very motorcycle chic. And not one, but FIVE zippers! (If the price is $9.95, that’s only 2 bucks a zipper!)

Green Thumb

Artist: Doug Strayer

We also saw this one at Trade City. Freaky and weird. Perfect for Urban. I wonder if the fingerprint on the back is someones. There is a variant in blue. (Which is even freakier.)

Killer Queen Bee

Artist: Paola Gutierrez

This sneaky looking character has an antenna and a crown in the ears. Also, his arms are clear like wings (which is AWESOME). On the back is her beehive.

Weird Beak

Warning: 11 pictures were officially released by Disney. This figure is not one of them. But it is seen in the set on the video, so it might be the chaser.
Not really well seen. But this one reminds me of the Ostrich from Have-A-Laugh.

Update: 2/6/11
A Quick Look

From one of the videos on the Vinylmation Event Page, this snapshot shows Urban 6 vinyls. Below is some of the new figures we’ve gleaned from the shot.

On closer inspection it looks like the case has 12 figures, making it the set. Starting on the top left of the box, in order, Zipper, Nature Cycle, Sunny Day, and Weird Beak. Middle row from left, Sumo, Cactus, 1337 Mou53, and Side Mouse. On the bottom row from the left, Ice Cream Sundae, Killer Bee, Cry Baby, and Green Thumb. Now that I look at it more, the ones outside the case look like they are variants! 3 of them! Thanks to J we think there are now actually 4 variants. There is a clear orange one next to the yellow one. The only one it seems it could be would be a third version of 1337 Mou53.

Blue Thumb Variant

I don’t know what a blue thumb is, but there it is! The coolest of the variants IMHO.

1337 Mou53 Clear Yellow Variant

Clear Yellow figure. Looks like a variant of 1337 Mou53 or a similar design.

Also might have a Clear Orange Variant!

Nature Cycle (Blue) Variant

Blue variant of the Nature Cycle figure.


Update:
3/17/11 @zoekatherine sent us some pics of upcoming 9″ Urban 6 figures from DLR. In addition, we added the pics released this week on the blog as well as some Urban 6 Jumbo pins that might point to future 9″ Urban 6 figures.

Gumball Machine 9″/3″

This looks pretty cool, if they can get the dispenser effect to work.

Update: I don’t think the gumball effect or the dispenser effect works, but I do like the fact that this figure comes with a 3″ figure of a kid with a bubble that has blown up in his face. Check out the gumball hat for the “before” version of this 3″.

Viking 9″

I really like the hat. Not sure how I feel about the nipples.

Update: This one is starting to grow on me. I like the hat and the horns. The eyes still bug me a little, but I am really thinking of picking this one up.

Film Camera 9″

This figure has many markings on it that you would find on
a film movie camera. The foot reads “Images par Seconde 64”.
The head looks like an exposure meter.

(This is available in pin form as a Mystery Chaser LE 250
in the Urban 6 Jumbo pin set.)
Star Bright 9″

Very colorful. Shooting stars all around. This one reminds be of Super Mario Galaxy for some reason.

(This is available in pin form as a Mystery Chaser LE 250
in the Urban 6 Jumbo pin set.)
Love 9″

Colorful swirls against a white Vinylmation.
“Love” is written on the body with a Mickey Head for the “o”.

Angel (9″?)

A halo in the ear.
Will she have wings as an accessory?

“I’d love wings as an accessory, especially if they aren’t vinyl but some kind of lace of fabric. Also, I’d prefer if this and the Devil were a 3″ set instead of a 9″ one as it seems they probably are.”-M.C.

(This is available in pin form as a Mystery Chaser LE 250
in the Urban 6 Jumbo pin set.)
Devil (9″?)

Evil looking fellow.

“Looks a little too human for my likes. I’d prefer a more cartoon version, maybe something looking like Hades from Hercules.”-M.C.

(This is available in pin form as a Mystery Chaser LE 250
in the Urban 6 Jumbo pin set.)

Mystery Urban 6 Vinylmation Pins Could Point to Future Figures

Thank you to Devin for pointing out a new Jumbo Vinylmation Pin he found on eBay. It’s an Urban 6 design and is the Mystery Chaser in the pin set. It is a Limited Edition of 250.

Film Camera Mickey
With a closer look around eBay, we found 3 more Jumbo Vinylmation Urban 6 Pins that are also Mystery Chasers in the pin set. All 4 pins are Limited Edition of 250.
Star Bright
Angel
Devil
Since we know the entire 3″ set, that comes out March 18th, these Jumbo pins point to possible 9″ Urban 6 figures. What do you think of these designs?

You’ve seen the hats, now see the figures.

Based on the reveal yesterday of two of the coolest Vinylmation Mickey Hats so far, (the first I’ve ever actually wanted to purchase) Disney revealed two of the 9″ figures for the Urban 6 set. We already had glimpses of these figures from a set of pins that was announced, but today they were confirmed. No word on the artist and LE numbers, but Disney said both figures will be released sometime in April.

Viking
Looking fierce this guy needs to work the runway. Only there would his odd horned hat and bracelets make him
Gumball Machine
We saw the 9″ Gumball Machine in the pin set, but we didn’t know it was part of a 9″/3″ combo. The 3″ kid is great, especially if you have the hat. That set of two 3″ would be a before/after shot of a poor kid who blew his bubble up too big. Also of note is the gumball slot in the feet. I was worried about how it would look on a 3D figure, and I think my concerns are valid. This 9″ doesn’t seem to live up to the concept art.
This piece will only be sold online at the DisneyStore.com

Vinylmation Recap: March 8, 2011

A lot happened today on the Vinylmation front, so here is a recap.

Disney officially announced an April 1st
release date for Vinylmation Series Park 6.
We had pics of the pins representing Park 6,
but today Disney released turn around pictures
and the artist’s names.
We already knew Urban 6 would be
released on March 18th, but today
we were treated to turn around pictures
of the series. We also now know all the
artist’s names and narrowed down what
the chaser might be.

Check out Urban 6 Explained here.

It was our lucky day! Disney also released
photos of all the figures from Jr Series 3
Good Luck / Bad Luck… including the
chasers.
Disney also released some turn around
pictures of the 8 figure open window
Tron set. We know these are currently
available at Hong Kong Disneyland,
however no US release date
was announced.

More Cutesters Too variants? Maybe.
Disney’s official Vinylmation Blog linked
to a page with “original artwork” from the
Cutesters Too set. It including 2 variants we
have never seen… bringing the possible total
number of variants to 5.
