Not only did Disney include an upside down Mickey in Urban 1, but on the Vault page of the Official Disney Vinylmation website, they have mistakenly put pictures of the 9″ Urban 5s where the Urban 1s should be.
So how do you like the changes to the Destination Vinylmation website? Anything you want to see? More changes and some useful features coming very soon, so keep checking back and follow us on Twitter @ VinylmationNews (news) and VinylmationCast (not news).
Today we found out a couple of Vinylmation that will be released in D-Street stores in Florida and California on February 4th.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Disney is releasing the Holiday 2 9″ Cupid.
Super cute. The little guy even has some 2 o’clock shadow on his cheeks. (Click photo to enlarge). I love that love is blind, and in one ear, he’s broken-hearted!
Also being released that day, and some might say in time to get your lady for V-Day, is the Cutester 2 series. We haven’t seen much from this series but this is what we have seen.
From the blog we’ve seen both of these pictures. The first is an interesting take on donuts. The second is a mushroom with a cute centipede underneath. I do like how they use the head for the mushroom.
At trade city, hidden in the back of the case, were these three kids dressed up (as animals?). Reminiscent of the Doll from Cutester 1, these guys are cute, but I’m not sure how I feel about them.
What do you think?
The 9″ + 3″ Urban 5 Car and Driver set will be released tomorrow, Friday, January 21st exclusively online at the Disney Store.
We re-tweeted a link to this article on Tomopop a few days ago and we just wanted to catch anyone who missed that message. A great picture of a cool custom. The article is by Kristina Pino. Here’s just a snippet of the photo. Please follow the link to check out the full photo.

Best Combo: Fancy Evil Dr. Porkchop by: Mae Rayes Head: Evil Dr. Porkchop (Toy Story) Body: Mr. Toad (Passholder Exclusive) Cane: Fairy Godmother’s Wand (Animation 1) “This was one of our first entries and it just stuck in my head the entire time. The head and body just fit aesthetically. The bowler hat on Evil Dr. Porkchop just fits with Mr. Toads clothing and using the wand as a can toped it off.” -Nick |
