2011

WDWNT on December 26, 2010

Wow, almost there. And it’s crazy how fast it’s come. But I honestly think I have almost two thousand and eleven Vinylmation. Just kidding… almost. But the new year is almost upon us and Maria Clapsis has designed four 2011 Vinylmation to celebrate the occasion. They are available now across the WDW and DL Resorts (parks, hotels and D-Street) and are sold in open window boxes. We picked ours up last night… and I have to ask… Is Disney just taunting us to get 4 of the same of the blue one?

Admit it, you think that would be cool too.
All four 2011’s at D-Street.
Four Parks, One Vinylmation
Nothing says Happy 2011 like a Vinylmation with Disney Theme Park icons stuck all over it!
Simple. Colorful. Unique.
Send us comment, let us know what you think of these figures to ring in the New Year. Are you going to pick these up? What Vinylmation are you looking forward to most this coming year?

Party like it’s 2-0-1-1

We found a couple of the 2011 vinylmations at the Swan! More pics to come once we get home. Both came in an open box and with cards.

Going on a Dream Cruise

WDWNT on December 24, 2010

More news for today. This Captain Donald set we have seen before, but now we know that it is designed by Lisa Badeen and comes along with a a special Vinylmation Jr (those things are everywhere!) The bronze one depicts the statue you will see when you first enter the ship, and the other is that same design, just colorful. I think this set is amazing and I am looking for some way to get it. For those already booked on the cruise, congrats! (You lucky ducks…)

Also available will be a 9″ in the style similar to the previous two 9″ cruise pieces from Park 3. Dan Howard created the Magic and Wonder figures and created this new one too. The only real change is the emblem on the head. Check it out:

Things just keep getting more an more exclusive, how will we all be able to get them all if they are spread out all over the world? Disneyland, NYC, Japan, a cruise… ect

Tell us your thoughts below.

This info was received from the Disney Vinylmation Blog for December 23rd 2010.

More Christmas Cheer!

WDWNT on December 23, 2010

First, today’s Christmas picture:

Here is Christmas picture #4. Each day this week, Destination Vinylmation will release a Vinylmation Christmas picture here on our site and a different picture at the Destination Vinylmation Facebook page. Enjoy!
Also today, our special Christmas episode of Destination Vinylmation was released on Mousevent. It’s a special story about finding the true meaning of Christmas… the Disney way.

Hatter in Hand

WDWNT on December 23, 2010

If there is one thing I found out about the Disney Store online is they provide super fast shipping. If you ordered Monday, you probably received your Mad Hatter Vinylmation today. If you haven’t ordered one yet, here it is, up close and personal.

Villains 1 Update

WDWNT on December 21, 2010

As we noted a couple days ago, Disney posted the upcoming Villains set in the “Vault” page of the official Vinylmation website under the section for Disney Store Exclusives. This prompted the question; “Are these figures currently available in the stores since only released sets go onto the “Vault” page?” I sent a message over to Steven Miller at Disney who is one of the people responsible for Vinylmation and Trading at Disney and he said they are still determining a release date, but the set will “most likely” be released in Japan first, and then will appear “later in January” in the U.S.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not planing a trip to Tokyo Disney in 2011, so since we have to wait a bit longer, here are some 360 images of the Villains.

Shan Yu from Mulan. Looking at the back, that may answer the question I posed on Episode 5 of the Destination Vinylmation podcast.
The Witch from Snow White. Not sure what you could have done with the back, but after seeing the detail of the apple on the front, I was expecting more.
Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmations. She actually is holding her cigarette! Awesome detail on the side of the figure. Way to go! It’s also interesting to note that Villains 1 seems to have artists new to designing Vinylmation. So we should get some fresh takes on these figures.
For more on Villains 1, keep checking our evolving blog post on it here.
