I see a Dapper Dan from Main St. USA, a WDW Train, Skyway, Dumbo, Jungle Trek bat, Blizzard Beach Gator, and the bear from the Camp Minnie and Mickey sign at Animal Kingdom.
He says that he found these at Downtown Disney and then as soon as he bought some they were pulled off the shelves. A very lucky find indeed!!

Big thanks to Jennifer for these pics!!!
Update: 9/21/11 All these figures will be on ships in September.
We found some more DCL exclusive figures. All these, and the previously shown characters set of DCL 3″ Vinylmation will be Open Edition. Meaning they will be on the ships for a time to come. We asked if they will be available at the Disney Store Online’s DCL section… the answer was probably not.
Each of this trio represents the individual ships: Magic, Wonder, Dream. They will Open edition and sold on the Cruise ships for a time to come.
Aquaduck Donald! We have seen concept art, but this looks amazing!!! He is siting in an inner tube. The tube looks like Goofy’s from Have a Laugh. And you can see his feet popping over the raft like he is seated in it. Spectacular!!! This will also be Open Edition on DCL ships.
This Open Edition DCL exclusive looks like a Castaway Cay depiction maybe? Or just a nice vacation. With Mickey resting in a hammock on the body, the head has a bright yellow sun and the shadows of palm trees against it.
At D23, the Park 7 Vinylmation lineup was announced… by way of pins. 10 of the 12 Vinylmation designs where on display as pins. the 11th design that was not a pin is the already known Earful Tower and the 12th would be the mystery chaser. So here is the known Park 7 line up:
 |
Muppet Vision 3D
This colorful figure fits perfectly onto the Vinylmation. It’s Kermit’s hot air baloon that flies high over the attraction. |
 |
Tomorrowland Rocket
This was the icon of Tomorrowland in the Disney Parks. I showed off pride as being a USA rocket and gave excitment to the future of space exploration. You can see the rockets circling the head. |
 |
Tinker Bell
The famous fairy gets another vinylmation. |
 |
Donald Philharmagic
This is a favorite of mine. It’s from the Philharmagic show where donald gets stuck in a tuba at the end of the show. Only to get blasted out into the wall behind you and then end up tangled in the instruments of the ceiling of the gift shop. |
 |
Hong Kong Castle
From the markings on the body, this looks like the Hong Kong castle to me. |
 |
Hula Guy
Does this guy come from the Polynesian? Aulani? Or none of the above? |
 |
World of Motion Sea Serpent |
 |
Spacesuit Figment
Figment makes his third 3″ Vinylmation appearance. |
 |
EPCOT 2000
Love it or hate it, it’s now a Vinylmation |
 |
Kali River Rapids
A great, and wet, Animal Kingdom attraction. |
These are some event specific and other specialty Vinylmation that were showcased at D23. First up is the 2011 Disneyland Half Marathon 3″ Stopwatch figure.
This will release on September 2 at Disneyland for $14.95. Runners can pick this one up and there is a space on the back to write your marathon time.
Up next are 2 figures from an upcoming “Teams” series. The two teams features are the Orlando Magic and LA Lakers (make sense) from the NBA.
Hopefully they offer a full selection of teams and other sports. I can’t wait for my Red Sox, Patriots and Celtics Vinylmation!
Update: 8/29/11 IMPORTANT – Check out more details and HQ photos on our updated DCL 2011 Explained Page.
Update: 9/21/11 All these DCL vinyls will be on ships in September.
A ton of great DCL Vinylmation on the way. We know about Aqua Duck Donald. At D23 they unveiled a vinyl specific for each ship… the Magic, Dream and Wonder. And they also had on display these 7 figures. It’s classic Disney characters all dressed up and ready to set sail.

Mickey actually has an accessory hat. And if this one looks familiar, we saw him pop up on eBay by one of those Hong Kong sellers.

A few upcoming 9″ Urban 7 figures were shown off at D23 on Friday. Here is a look.
This 9″ King Tut is part of a 9/3 combo. It will retail for $74.95 and is LE 1500.
The 3″ King Tut is a depiction from outside the sarcophagus. This combo will release in November.
Disney calls this 9″ figure “Monster”. We saw this in Jumbo pin form earlier in the year.
This is another figure we saw coming, 9″ Color Bar. We inferred this released based on the 3″, Jr., Ear Hat combo released earlier this year.
