Check out our latest episode. In this one we speak with Disney Trading Social Media Head Steven Miller, we review the latest 3″ and 9″ Vinylmation releases, and we look ahead to 2011 and all the new Vinylmation sets scheduled to be released. We also discuss who we think will be the chaser for the “Animation 1” and “Villains 1” series. Also listen for the latest contest where you could win a free vinylmation!
Looking in at the Trading Event at WDW on Friday night. A fun night, mostly because I traded for over 12 Vinylmations, including the Park 4 Chaser and TWO green army men!
Now that we have the latest Vinylmations in hand and in pictures, we thought it would be interesting to compare the Figment from Park 1 to his latest edition as part of the Park 5 set.
Park 1 Fig Mouse by Maria Clapsis
Both are 3″ figures.
In the Park 1 he has on his original outfit, basically nothing but a shirt with his name on it, whereas, in the Park 5 set he has on a little tux with a top hat. (Very distinguished)
In the Park 5 figure, his nose and face are defined much better, even giving the illusion of a snout, but in the original Park 1 he’s just got a smile and eyes. (I think this is because the artist is more familiar with the medium.)
Not much else is radically different, although on the Park 5 Figment he’s got thumb nails and his wings are just a little smaller.
This Friday December 17th fans will be able to purchase The Mad Hatter Vinylmation 9″ online at the DisneyStore.com.
We all know the Mad Hatter, but this post will focus on the less talked about 3″ that accompanies Hatter, the Dormouse from Alice in Wonderland.
Did you know, the Dormouse in Disney’s 1951 animated classic Alice in Wonderland shared his voice with a far more famous Mouse? Jimmy MacDonald, the voice of Mickey Mouse from 1947 to 1977, also voiced the Dormouse. Jimmy MacDonald was passed the job of voicing Mickey Mouse from none other than Walt Disney himself. MacDonald was also a legendary Disney sound effects artist. The Dormouse that was depicted in Alice in Wonderland also made appearance in a few other Disney animated productions including the Bonkers Afternoon Cartoon and Mickey’s Magical Christmas.
Be sure to log on early to DisneyStore.com this Friday to get your hands on this limited edition of 1,200 Vinylmation set. It will retail for $74.95 and was designed by Maria Clapsis.

Here is a first look at the backs of the Vinylmation:
The Disney Vinylmation Blog recently released a picture of an upcoming Disneyland Passholder Exclusive Goofy’s Sky School Vinylmation. Here are some pictures and background info on this exciting piece. First, take a look at the Vinylmation up against some Disney Imagineer concept art for the attraction that is being built right now at the California Adventure:
I found this hard to spot Hidden Mickey the other day on this Urban 5 figure:
