Villains 4 Dumpster Divers Attack eBay

A couple figures that are stamped “Villains 4” on the feet have surfaced on eBay. These are unreleased figures, not meant to be circulated into the hobby, so we ask that you do not purchase them from the Hong Kong sellers who pulled these out of the junk pile. As the listings humorously say, they are “90% New!”… not too shabby. But we do get a sneak peek at two of the figures for the upcoming Disney Store series. And these photos have rumors flying that we will see a release at or near the September 13th Reflections of Evil trading event at Epcot. Take a look at Oogie Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas and the Cyclops from Hercules.
