People can no longer complain that we are just collecting little figures that take up shelf space… Vinylmation are now functional. Want a cool drink? Vinylmation is there. Want a yummy chocolate treat for your next Disney party? Yep, Vinylmation can help you with that now too. It was announced today that those mysterious Vinylmation Ice Cube Trays I told you about a few weeks back, will be officially released on December 3rd! Here was my first look at the Ice Cube Tray and 3″ figure that comes with it:
The first pictures of the upcoming Tron Vinylmation were released to day on the Disney Parks blog. It was announced Tron will be an open window 8 figure set to be released in 2011! Check out the Disney Parks blog article at http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/11/vinylmation-tron-legacy/
Vinylmation fans can pick up an early Christmas present at the Disney Store Online. The Holiday 2 Series 9″ Snowglobe Figure with 3″ Snowman was released today.
Interesting to note is the price point of this 9″, 3″ combo is only $44.95! That comes as a surprise when previous Vinylmation 9″, 3″ combos were priced at $74.95. Is Disney giving us an early Christmas present after raising the prices on Park and Urban 5? Also note the FREE SHIPPING offer if you spend $75 or more. Promo code is SHIPTODAY.
Here are screenshots from the Disney Store Online website with a first look at the back of this impressing David Mitchell designed figure set.
This limited edition (1000) figure will only be available online. The figure is limited to 2 per customer.
Update: This set is already sold out! (in less than 12 hours!)
The Disney blog announced that the online store will begin selling the 9″ and 3″ Snowman set on November 17th. That’s TOMORROW folks! This set was designed by David Mitchell who also designed the Prancer 9″ which will be released this Friday at D-Streets on both coasts. (There are only 1000 Prancers being made)

I had the chance to speak with Steven Miller, Project Manager Disney Trading, at the Festival of the Masters at WDW this past weekend. Steven is a man of many hats… he works in Disney Merchandise and heads up trading of Pins and Vinylmation as well as some of the Disney social media sites such as the Disney Vinylmation Blog and the Vinylmation Facebook page. (if you haven’t yet, go “like” that page, they will keep giving us new stuff to look at!) Steven talked about some upcoming releases, new products, price points, tins or boxes?, ice cube trays, Star Wars, a behind the scenes look at the development of a Vinylmation and much, much more! We will be releasing a new clip from the interview each day this week. The full interview with Steven will air as part of Destination Vinylmation Episode 3, to be available for download on Sunday, November 14th. Subscribe now on iTunes or listen at our website. To see some pictures of some upcoming releases from Festival of the Masters, visit the Destination Vinylmation Facebook page.
The Festival of the Masters is wrapping up at Downtown Disney today, but don’t feel too bad if you missed it! WDWNT Reporter Banks Lee was on the scene and has a video of the annual weekend event to share with us:
