Vinylmation in the Disney Outlet Store

WDWNT on November 27, 2011

Lots of fun sales at the Disney Outlet Store, just north of Buena Vista Drive on the East side of I4. Everything is 75% off! Two designs of Oh! Mickey. Lots of 3″ CYOs for under $2.00. (No white though) They also had those smaller series posters for less than $5.00! I got several magnets for $0.75 each. Great sale if you like either of them. They also have a mystery trade box of 15 and a clear trade box for trading. (Although I dot think there is anything cool inside it.)

D-Street’s been bricked

WDWNT on November 27, 2011

On Friday the “brick” white 9″ Create Your Own Vinylmation hit D-Streets.

What do you think of this design? Do you want more “patterns” from CYOs? The price is $42.95. Are you going to pick this up?

Vinylmation Speculation with Mike Boon: Muppets 4.4 Clifford

WDWNT on November 26, 2011

CLIFFORD
The Jim Henson Hour (1989)
Originally performed by: Kevin Clash

This cool-cat Muppet with a laid-back persona, colorful dreadlocks and hip sunglasses first appeared as a bass player for the band Solid Foam on The Jim Henson Hour, but his most prominent role was as host of Muppets Tonight.

“Kevin Clash is also the original performer of Elmo. Love the sunglasses, but maybe they could be an accessory?”-M.C.

Vinylmation Speculation with Mike Boon: Muppets 4.3 Wanda

WDWNT on November 25, 2011

WANDA
The Muppet Show (1976)
Originally performed by: Eren Ozker

Wanda is half of the singing duo Wayne and Wanda, who have the distinction of being fired from The Muppet Show by Kermit himself. Wayne and Wanda had virtually disappeared from the Muppet universe before making recent appearances in The Muppets (2011) and an OK Go video.

“The flowers and stripes really complete this figure.”-M.C.

Vinylmation Speculation with Mike Boon: Muppets 4.2 Wayne

WDWNT on November 24, 2011

WAYNE
The Muppet Show (1976)
Originally performed by: Richard Hunt

The singing duo Wayne and Wanda was often praised by Sam the Eagle as being a wholesome act in a show full of weirdos, but the pair was often unable to make past the first verse of any song before reaching an inevitable moment of disaster.

“Another great use of ears. And a spiffy looking suit too!”-M.C.

Vinylmation Speculation with Mike Boon: Muppets 4.1 Gonzo the Great

WDWNT on November 23, 2011

Mike Boon is back again with another series of potential Muppet vinylmation. Continuing where we left off, we’ll showcase one design every day from Mike’s Muppet Series 4. Please let him (and us) know what you think of the designs. As we start the second Muppet series of speculation from Mike, we’d just like to thank him again for his hard work and his great designs! Thanks Mike!
THE GREAT GONZO
The Muppet Show (1976)
Originally performed by: Dave Goelz

The oddest character in the core Muppet cast, Gonzo has a tendency for horrible and wildly misguided acts that he believes are pure genius, not to mention a fondness for chickens. We’ve already seen Gonzo in his purple tux as a 9” vinyl, but here he is as the daredevil performance artist “The Great Gonzo.”

“Thank you! We need a 3″ Gonzo. Love the strands of hair in the left ear.”-M.C.

Ring in the Holidays on December 9th with Holiday 3 and more!

WDWNT on November 21, 2011

It looks like Disney sneaked another couple of release dates into their events page (We checked last night while doing the podcast and they weren’t there!).

On December 9th, 2011 both D-Streets will be releasing several new vinylmation.
First, the 12 piece Holiday 3 set will be released. Check out more info on that at “Holiday 3 Explained“. They should be $9.95 each.

Second, the first 9″ Urban 8 figure will be released. It is the Sock Monkey we saw back at The Florida Project. The piece is by Paola Gutierrez and is a LE of 800. It will cost $44.95. (This is an increase from the $39.95 price we were quoted at The Florida Project.)

Third, the site says, “Urban #8 – 9-inch plus 3-inch figure set by Caley Hicks (Edition Size: 1,000 / Retail: $74.95)”. We think this is a typo and may refer to the 9″/3″ Urban 7 Caley Hicks’ piece, OJ and Milk. Info at “Urban 7 9″ Explained“. But that piece was only going to be sold at the Online store, so maybe this is a new piece we haven’t seen….

First look at our Furry Friends

WDWNT on November 21, 2011

Today vinylmation.com released the first pictures of the Furry Friends series scheduled to be released in January 9th, 2012. Check out these two pictures.

Pics from Disney

Both are super adorable! And it looks like Anne Marie nailed this series on the head with her speculation! (Article here) Oliver and Pluto are on her list, as are several others who would look cute in this style.

The heads seem to be the new mold, but the arms seem like something new. And I find it interesting that we specifically can’t see the bodies or feet of either. Is there a bigger surprise down the road?

The site says this will be part of a limited release blind box series. It will retail for $10.95 a box.

Disney also said, “And in celebration of the release of the Vinylmation – Furry Friends series, the Disney Store will donate $60,000 to the ASPCA – $1 for every unit produced! To learn more about how you can help your Furry Friends, visit ASPCA.org today. ” So does that mean that there are 60,000 of these? And if that’s per box, then there are 2,500 cases! Talk about limited!

What do you think of this series? Will you be getting them?

Vinylmation Laptop Covers and Decals out – 11/25

WDWNT on November 21, 2011



Just in time, for a month from Christmas, the laptop vinylmation accessories we saw at the Florida Project will be out. They will come in 13 inch and 15 inch screen sizes, and they will cost $24.95 and $26.95. The decals will both cost $8.95. They will hit stores on Novemember 25th, 2011.

Here’s the break down:
This bag would be the one I get. I like the black background and the ordered and similar sized vinyl on the front. And then you can flip it inside out and get that cool gray scale vinylmation pattern.
For those of you who prefer color, he’s a bright green inside and a less ordered vinylmation pile on the front.
And finally, here’s the decals which are similar in design to the fronts of the two cases.

What do you think? Do these look cool to you?
