Online Disney Store Update

WDWNT on March 31, 2011

If you can’t make it to the Disney Stores, DV likes to update you on what’s available (and not) online. Jr Series 3 Good Luck/Bad Luck is still not available, Urban 6 is back and a brand new series is making it’s online debut.

Here is the newest addition to the Online Disney Store:

The 3 Watches in the Vinylmation Watch / Figure combo series are now available online. Check out our detailed release day pictures and review here.

Park Series 3″ Figure and Watch
$125.00

Urban Series 3″ Figure and Watch
$125.00
This is a $25 discount from the D-Street store price!

Steampunk 3″ Figure and Pocket Watch
$150.00
The Online Disney Store is also calling this “Urban”, but a look at the description shows they are obviously describing the Steampunk inspired figure and pocket watch. A really beautiful piece.

Urban 6 is back online after selling out quickly on release day last week. Check out Urban 6’s visit to the EPCOT Flower and Garden Expo here.

Thousand Evilos Woods

WDWNT on March 30, 2011


Evilos (the maker of the Mickey in Carbonite figure) is back with a custom set of Pooh and his friends. I really like the gold color of Pooh and the writing of his name on the shirt is wonderful! Also amazing is the mohawk for Eeyore. I’ve always identified with Eeyore for some reason. Check out this set at his site evilos.com. Also check out all his other customs, like the aforementioned Mickey in Carbonite and his cool take on TRON. (Also note the Evil Pooh in the background. I believe this is his trademark, making character’s evil, and where he gets his name.) Right now you can pick up Pooh for $50 and Eeyore is $80. No word on Tigger as of yet. Thanks Evilos, your customs really raise the bar for everyone else!

Park 6 Explained

WDWNT on March 28, 2011

Update: 3/28/11 Added pictures of the Chaser and all 4 variants; Donald (2) and WDW Road Sign (2). Learned of a WDW Road Sign variant with “Animal Kingdom” instead of “Magic Kingdom”. Learned the price should be $12.95. Found out Park 6 was already released, and possibly pulled back off the shelves at Disneyland Paris. Added link to the 9″ Park 6 figures. Big thanks to everyone who tweeted, commented, and emailed us about the news. Every once in a while our “real” jobs get in the way of 24/7 monitoring. But thanks to all our fans we always have someone close to the news! Thank you. Merci.

Update: 3/22/11 Release date of April 1st is confirmed at WDW Trading Event and on the Events pages at the Disney Vinylmation Blog. Added picture of the Matterhorn 9″. Added picture on set on display at WDW Trading Event.

Update: 3/9/11 Release date removed from the official site. April 1st now only a possible release date.

Update: 3/8/11 Release date announced as April 1st (no joke… hopefully). Added turn around pictures.

Update: 1/21/11 Added images from the 1/1/11 blog announcements from Disney. Includes, Primevil Whirl and Runaway Brain Mickey Combo Topper.

1/8/10 From the Disney Pin Site we get a sneak peak at the up coming Park 6 vinylmation series. Note: These pins should tell us some of the figures in the series, but they are usually a mixture of 3″ and 9″.

Park 6 News and Chaser: de la Fance

WDWNT on March 28, 2011

Our friend Aranya sent in pics of the Park 6 series including the chaser (pictured below). She picked them up at Disneyland Paris. We have heard rumors that Park 6 has been pulled off the shelf at DLP until the US April 1 release date. Other news about Park 6 include the visual confirmation of a Wet Paint Donald variant (you can see that figure here) and the textual confirmation (no pic yet) of the WDW Road Sign variant with “Animal Kingdom” instead of “Magic Kingdom” on the sign. Also of note, is the 12.95 Euro price tag on the figures. All indications point to a $12.95 US price tag, as past releases have been the same “number” price, just either in Euros or USD. Meaning collectors in France, pay a bit more for their Vinylmation.

Wedding Week: Wrap Up with New DV Reporter: Zoe

WDWNT on March 28, 2011


Hello everyone! My name is Zoe Dokas and I am from Orange County, CA. I am so excited to have been asked to become a part of the Destination Vinylmation family. I will be reporting all things Vinylmation from California. I can’t wait to start this and share my love of Vinylmation with all of you!

For my first post I would like to wrap up this week’s wedding features. We have seen several custom bride and groom Vinylmations, cake toppers, bridesmaid gifts as well as wedding guest books. These are all great ways to bring Vinylmation into your wedding day. These ideas are innovative and fun for any wedding.
First we saw Maria Clapsis’ customs, which take on the classic bride and groom look. I love the way she designed these, they are simple and have the perfecting finishing touches. (I love the tiara and the top hat!)
Next we saw Lisa and Trace Farry’s custom bride and groom guest book Vinylmation. I love this idea! It is such a cute and creative idea to use these 9 inch blank Vinylmation as guest books. They have an easy design, to leave enough room for many signatures from wedding guests. This is a great way to put a little Disney in your wedding and also have something to display and keep those memories. They are simple yet perfect! (P.S. I love the Mickey confetti scattered on the table!)
Then we saw the Storm Trooper of the week photo, which was themed according to our wedding week. This is such a clever and quirky idea. A great mix of Star Wars and weddings. These two were obviously meant for one another!!
Lastly, we saw a few more customs from Jenifer Marie including, a classic bride and groom set as well as a bridesmaid gift set. The bride and groom set are similar to Maria Clapsis’ set, which gives them a simple look, but again it’s all in the details. I love the accessories that were added to these figures. The small jeweled earrings on the bride and the jeweled buttons make these figures beautiful. Jenifer also created custom bridesmaid Vinylmation to give to each of her bridesmaids as a gift. I absolutely love this idea. They are adorable and make a perfect bridesmaid gift. I love the bouquet details, the bow on top and the little pearl necklaces. I also love that she was inspired by Park 5, Flowers and Fairies, it is one of my favorites.
This just makes me a little bit more excited for the actual Celebration Vinylmation series coming out later this year!

Donald Spills All Colors of Paint in the Park 6 Variant

WDWNT on March 27, 2011


Our friend Aranya, over in France, got her hands on the Park 6 set when they released it last Friday (along with the TRON and Sushi set). In it she found this cool variant of the Wet Paint Donald. Makes a lot of sense right? Aranya says they cost 12.95 Euros. Could this be a direct comparison to the price here?

What do you think? Leave us a comment!
