WDWNT on January 12, 2012

Villains 3
Explained
Date: June 18, 2012
Where: Disney Stores and Online
Price: $9.95
Details: 12 figure blind box set

Update 06/11/12 Updated page with picture of the chaser. Click the Mystery Chaser image at bottom of page to see. Rumor also surfaced of a sale at the Disney Store where you buy one Villains 3 blind box, get one Robots 2 blind box free.

Update 05/30/12 Updated some figures with higher quality images. All I have to say is WOW. Great set Disney Store.

Update 05/29/12 Updated the full character lineup.

	Gideon Pinocchio (1940)He’s the sidekick of J. Worthington Foulfellow. He was going to be voiced by Mel Blanc, who voiced Dopey, but the company decided to delete all of his lines preferring a mute sidekick performance though he has 3 hiccups in the film, all voiced by Mel Blanc. Great detail with the fur and claws.
	Chernabog Fantasia (1940)He is featured in the “Night on Bald Mountain” sequence. In an interview, Walt Disney referred to him as Satan himself. The wings, if better than Furry Friends, will be phenomenal. My only gripe is the shading and lines are a bit understated for such an evil creature.
	Coachman Pinocchio (1940)He takes Pinocchio to Pleasure Island. He was voiced by Charles Judels, who also voiced Stromboli. The shading on the face really accentuates his evil villain side.
picture from Vinylmation Kingdom	Gaston Beauty and the Beast (1991)The detail in the face is grate, although the turned head gives it an over sized look. I hope the colors are as vibrant as they appear. The animal heads on the ears are a brilliant use of the mold.
picture from Vinylmation Kingdom	Judge Frollo Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)Frollo’s hat could be one of the best accessories to date.
picture from Vinylmation Kingdom	Madame Medusa The Rescuers (1977)The artist did this one just right, using the hair to frame the face. Again, the colors in this set appear to be very vibrant.
picture from Vinylmation Kingdom	Queen of Hearts Alice in Wonderland (1951)Another Queen of Hearts, but done very differently than Thomas Scott’s version. I welcome different artist’s approaches. The turned face allows the artist to use the ears for the crown and hair.
picture from Vinylmation Kingdom	Rattigan The Great Mouse Detective (1986)Looks like a great job on the detail on the face. But like Gaston, appears to have an over sized look. A cape would be the real topper, but it doesn’t appear to have one.
	Si / Am Lady and the Tramp (1955)One cat drawn on each side. Perfect. As much as this character freaks me out, it looks well done on each side representing the 2 cats personalities and appearances. I like the double-sided approach as opposed to the two cats intertwined on the front like on the Japan ETO.
picture from Vinylmation Kingdom	Smee Peter Pan (1953)Smee’s face just fits well on this mold with the cheeks bulging out a bit and being narrow on top and growing outward toward the chin.
picture from Vinylmation Kingdom	Tick Tock Peter Pan (1953)I really enjoy the character selection here. Not an easy animal to fit on the mold, it looks like the artist pulled it off. The clock painted on the side is a huge bonus that takes the design to a whole new level.

Villains 3 Sneak Peek

WDWNT on January 12, 2012

Many Disney fans are rejoicing today. Disney has released a sneak peek of Villains 3 and look who is a part of this set:

Chernabog of Fantasia fame! He is much anticipated and a welcome addition to Vinylmation. The artists went the extra mile and even added the wings. Worth the wait for sure. The second figure is the coachman from Pinocchio.

I would love to see more of a peek, but beggars can’t be choosers. Maybe at the WDW trade night this Friday? Villains 3 is set for a June 18th release at Disney Stores.

Disney Mozart: Speculation on Villains 3

WDWNT on January 12, 2012

This is DisneyMozart picking up the baton again. Today I will be doing a little speculation on the much anticipated summer set, Villains 3. The two previous installments of Villains have absolutely wowed me and I expect that Disney is going to nothing short of phenomenal on this series. I would love to see them pull in a few Villains that are played up at the parks, but not as popular in the movies. Also, as they have been so focused on the pairs as of late, I think we could see a series setup like this: 4 pairs, 1 trio, and the chaser. So, without further ado, here comes the speculation!!! To start out-

Anastasia, Drizella, and Lucifer

These two wicked stepsisters are always having Cinderella do their dirty work, and never feeling bad about it. While their kitty, Lucifer, is always tormenting Cindy and her animal friends. These three are an obvious choice to follow their wicked stepmother, Lady Tremaine, from the previous Villains 2 series.

Pain and Panic

Pain and Panic are Hades two henchmen in Hercules, and they are one of the most frantic pairs in Disney history. I think these have the right kind of look to fit on the mold, and like the trio before, a great follow up to Hades from Villains 2. I also think that a tail would be a must, and I think that horns might also look snazzy on the figures.

Gaston and Le Fou

It surprises me that neither of these Beauty and the Best bad guys have been done up to this point. A natural pair, these two would fit on the mold differently-I think Le Fou would fit better than Gaston because Le Fou has a fatter face. I think that it is time to finally put these two in a set!!!

Brer Fox and Brer Bear

These are two characters that are really popular in the Disney Parks (Splash Mountain), but somebody who doesn’t know a lot about Disney couldn’t tell you what movie they are from-The Song of the South. I would love a club accessory to go along with Brer Bear.

Heffalump and Woozle

These are the two that I am the most excited about!!! When I thought to add Heffalump and Woozle (Winnie the Pooh) to my speculation piece, I almost squealed! These two would look fantastic on the mold, and could very easily have multiple variants, much like the Pink Elephant from Animation 1. These are also villains that not everybody instantly thinks of, so a great obscure choice!

Chernabog (Chaser)

A desire from I think just about everybody and their dog. This would be absolutely the best chaser, EVER!!! Like from every set ever. Chernabog is just one of those scary characters that everybody loves!!! I really want this one to be made into a Vinylmation, it would make my entire life!

This is my dream Villains set! I don’t really think there is a figure that I speculated on that I wouldn’t love to have on my shelf. For this post, I think I’m about ready to put the conductor’s baton away. Stay tuned for a 9”/3” Villains 3 speculation piece in the next week. Over and out.

Vinylmation Speculation: What’s left for Villains Part 2

WDWNT on October 10, 2011

My name is Annemarie Brown and when I heard Destination Vinylmation wondering what villains would be left that they could add to another series of Villains I started to do some research. This is what I found… There are actually plenty of villains left to do another series, even two more if they get creative. This is part two of a two part look into Disney Villains.
For the first part check out Villains Speculation Part 1

	Another cool villain would be Jafar’s trusty sidekick, Iago (Gilbert Gottfried). Unless they plan on making a “sidekick” series (which I don’t see happening) we can’t count out these great accomplice villains. Iago would be fantastic.
	Frollo (Tony Jay) from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” while not the most popular of villains, would make a cool-looking vinyl, I think.
	Madame Medusa from “The Rescuers” is still one of the most chilling villains Disney’s ever created. Voiced by Geraldine Page, she kidnaps children AND teddy bears!!
	Edgar might be a bit obscure, but that’s what makes him interesting! The evil butler from “Aristocats” determined to get rid of the future inheritors of Madame’s fortune would make a great addition to a Villains set! Voiced by” Roddy Maude-Roxby.
	Horace(J. Pat O’ Malley) and Jasper (Frederick Worlock) would be great together on a vinylmation, I think. The bumbling duo from “101 Dalmatians” is almost as memorable as Cruella herself (almost!)
	Another great pair that would be awesome on the same vinyl would be Flotsam and Jetsam, of course! Voiced by Paddi Edwards, Ursula wouldn’t be the same without these two by her side.
	It’s been said before, but bears repeating… we still don’t have a Gaston vinylmation! Voiced by Richard White, he really needs no further introduction. And he would agree. (Also? I would give him a mirror as an accessory.)
	One more random chaser idea: Pete from “Mickey’s Christmas Carol” is menacing and scary. Maybe with a cigar accessory? We already have a Steamboat Willie Pete, but he’s taken on so many incarnations of “bad guy” over the years, we have many wells to dip from with Pete.

I’m sure if we get creative we can come up with many more, throughout the years of Disney. Just rest assured, there are plenty of Villains to choose from for there to be future Villains vinylmation sets!

Vinylmation Speculation: What’s left for Villains? Part 1

WDWNT on October 7, 2011

	Chernabog from “Fantasia”… this isn’t even an obscure villain, as any Disney fan can attest to. Most likely the ultimate villain, actually! He would make a great chaser, I think.
	Ratigan from “The Great Mouse Detective”- My personal FAVORITE villain! How they haven’t made a Vinylmation of him yet is beyond me. He oozes evil with the help of Vincent Price’s voice talents.
	Of course, Lucifer from “Cinderella” was every bit as memorable as Lady Tremaine!
	Continuing with Walt Disney’s personal dislike of cats (and inclination to make them villains!) We have the Siamese Cats from Lady and the Tramp, who would be great as two characters on one vinylmation.
	The Headless Horseman from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” would also make a cool chaser. Maybe a removable head or headpiece?
	Willie the Giant, from “Mickey and the Beanstalk” voiced by Billy Gilbert. He makes an appearance also in “Mickey’s Christmas Carol” as the Ghost of Christmas Present… but “Beanstalk” is when he’s a true threat to our hero Mickey.
