Park 7
Release Date: October 14, 2011

Donald Philharmagic
Casey Jones

The best 3″ design EVER. Hands down. Wow. 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.

Muppet Vision 3D
Lin Shih

This colorful figure fits perfectly onto the Vinylmation. It’s Kermit’s hot air baloon that flies high over the attraction. It has a lot of bright colors and a clean design.

America on Parade
Casey Jones

This amazing little guy depicts the parade float Mickey, Donald and Goofy rode in America on Parade. (see Fife and Drum set below for more info)

Polynesian Fire Dancer
“Cousin Q” Quynh Kimball?

Ok, they kicked it up a notch. Look at the fire stick! The pin didn’t do this guy justice. The ears are clear with the left having a flower and right saying “Aloha”.

Tinkerbell
Eric Caszatt

The famous fairy gets another vinylmation. Is this her flying through the night sky over the park? ~~Will she have a wand?~~ Oh wow she has a wand! Look at that wand with a star on top. Her outfit also has a real glittery appearance. I have to say she looks a ton better in person than she did on pin. Wings!

Star Jets
Eric Caszatt

A Tomorrowland ride that has had or has versions in all the theme parks. The ears are clear and have the rockets painted on them. Its a perfect rendition. It’s also a perfect accessory piece on the head.

Figment in Spacesuit
Thomas Scott

VARIANT

World of Motion Sea Serpent
Maria Clapsis

It’s the Sea Serpent from World of Motion who is found looking right back at Christopher Columbus who is searching for the New World.

EPCOT 2000
Thomas Scott

Love it or hate it, the EPCOT ball had a wand attached to it for 8 years. This figure celebrates the occasion. In the picture, it says “EPCOT” above the ball, however, when the wand was originally put in place in 1999, it said “2000″ as on the Vinylmation. I liked it, but 8 years was overkill.
– Nick

Kali River Rapids
Billy Davis

A river rapids water ride in the Animal Kingdom. This figure is from the logo and sign that greet guests at the ride.

Earful Tower
Lin Shih

This was the iconic feature of Disney’s Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM) in Orlando, FL until the giant sorcerer’s hat was built in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

Mystery Chaser

Could be anything. What would you like to see?

Mickey Mouse

This set represents America on Parade that ran from 1975 – 1976 at Walt Disney World and Disneyland. In the parade, Mickey had a flag, but it wasn’t in the display. Mickey does have a tri point hat on his head.

Donald Duck

Donald played the fife in the band as they rode the parade float down Main St. USA. The eagle float that Mickey, Donald and Goofy rode on was 18 feet tall. I like the duck bill extending down to the body. A ton of great Donalds coming out.

Goofy

Goofy has a drum and stick accessory. The artist did a great job at capturing his eyes and face. The drum says “America on Parade”.

River Country was a beloved Disney water park before Blizzard Beach and Typhoon lagoon came along. It opened in 1976 and closed in 2001. The area next to Fort Wilderness sits abandoned today. What was your favorite attraction there?

Urban 7 Released

WDWNT Author on January 1, 1970

Urban 7
Release Date: July 22, 2011

	Urban 7 Combo Topper
	Alien Artist: Thomas Scott Mystery solved. We know know what set this classic alien figure is in. However there are at least two versions. A solid green and a clear green. One is the variant.
	Zombie School Girl Artist: Lin Shih She is a very preppy, nerdy girl design. But also the coloring is odd and no eyeballs. Is she a zombie nerd girl? Will those glasses be a removable accessory?
	Spaghetti and Meatballs Artist: Casey Jones A delicious looking Vinylmation. Like the meatball ears. It would be cool if there was a fork in the back digging into this dish.
	Dizturbed Rocker Artist: Thomas Scott This guy is at a concert getting ready to do some head banging. He appears to be wearing studded wristbands and belt. Nice facial expression. Will this be more accepted than Scott’s U5 Bearded Man?
	Paint Splatter Artist: Susana Looks like a Disney artist got wild with the paint brushes again. I do like the heart shaped splatter on the chest. We will see what kind of detail we get on the back. It’s a clear figure. VARIANT
	Jukebox Artist: Caley Hicks An old school jukebox design. For the younger people out there, think iPod, only larger, doesn’t hook up to your computer and isn’t digital. I like the music notes in the ears. The colors are great on this one.
	Rotary Phone Artist: Lisa Badeen A nod to the era when it took 5 minutes to call someone. And whats that in the head? Phones once had cords? And look, another phone number on a Vinylmation! A clear head with the cord going through it. VARIANT
	Dark Side of the Mouse Artist: Maria Clapsis Looks like a peak into the 60s or 70s with a psychedelic space theme. Check out the Mickey head in the foot!
	Squirrel and Nut Artist: Doug Strayer Cutesters Too had a kid in a squirrel outfit. On the bottom next to Maria’s name was an acorn. This is a similar idea, only the Squirrel is more realistic, as is the nut.
	Penguin Artist: Maria Clapsis Another penguin! (Which Disney actually made a joke about!) Here he is holding a fish. This one seems a little more gruesome then the squirrel, because the fish is living.
	Cyclops Artist: Mike Sullivan VARIANT

	Color Bars Artist: TBA LE: 1000 $39.95 Release Date: November 2011 There better be something cool on the back, because this 9″ has a ton of empty space for $40-$45 price tag that it will have. Maybe an autograph piece for TV stars? We knew this was coming based on the previously released Ear Hat, 3″, Jr combo.
	Monster Artist: TBA LE: 800 $39.95 Release Date: November 2011 This guy looks great. I’m a sucker for using the nose as a chin. The huge feet and talons are cool too. Before I knew there would be so many, I bought the Snow Monster 9/3 from Park 3. But I have to be so much more selective now. This would have made the cut a year ago, but not today.
	King Tut 9″/3″ Combo Artist: TBA LE: 1500 $74.95 Release Date: November The 9″ looks brilliant. Vibrant gold color. This is King Tut in a sarcophagus. And this continues the addition of some great accessories to 9″ figures.
	King Tut 9″/3″ Combo Artist: TBA LE: 1500 $74.95 Release Date: November King Tut before being put to rest is depicted in this 3″ figure. Disney’s official picture of this guy also has a cane:
	Flowers Artist: Lisa Badeen LE: 1000 $39.95 Release Date: November 18, 2011 A purple body and a flower pattern all around.
9″ 3″	Milk and OJ 9/3 Combo Artist: Caley Hicks LE: 1500 $74.95 ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Release Date: November 18, 2011 This set is based on an Ear Hat set we saw a while back. OJ and Milk was the talk of The Florida Project. People loved this one. The side of 9″ Milk has a bar code. The back of OJ 3″ has Nutrition Facts.
	Curliuser Artist: Thomas Scott LE: 1000 $39.95 Release Date: November 18, 2011 A paisley type pattern
	Annie Mae Artist: Mike Sullivan LE: 800 $39.95 Release Date: November 18, 2011 Back of 9″ Annie Mae

Urban 8
Release: November 11, 2011

	Warrior Maria Clapsis This figure looks like and Indian warrior. He has a great looking head piece and wonderful markings and coloring on the body. The way the feet are painted, it appears he is standing in some brown brush. Will there be a spear accessory?
	Rudos Casey Jones It appears to be a masked wrestler. He is blue with a squiggle of chest hair. He has a black tank top and tennis shoes. And possible flash bulbs in the ears. VARIANT aftimes.com
	Barricade Thomas Scott Directing traffic everywhere. The head is a clear yellow and the ears give the impression of a flashing light. VARIANT aftimes.com
	Beaded Betsy DePedova A new artist to the Vinylmation scene. This effort is a colorful figure full of different shapes. Flowers, dots, springs and stars.
	Hot Dog Dan Howard Looks yummy. Though I prefer just ketchup and relish. -MC I like the hidden Mickey disguised as an onion! – Nick
	Beatnik Thomas Scott This cool, cool cat has a simple black and white stripe shirt a beret and small artist-like eye glasses. He has some chin hair and a pencil mustache. The ears are painted a solid red.
	Raccoon Casey Jones This little fellow looks happy. Maybe he saw the hotdog. It’s a purple raccoon with a bushy tail… just like the Cheshire cat’s.
	Tree Frog Robert Vann Watch out! They are poisonous. This one has a great color green and a cool glossy finish.
	Cave Painting Thomas Scott It looks like a painted you would see inside a cave. Different shapes and colors tell a story the artist wishes to pass down to us.
	Yellow Robot Billy Davis The Disney Store artists have a robot series all to themselves, but the Disney Design group wanted some of their own. What job do you think this robot was built to perform?
	Zombie Break Dancer Monty Maldovan Gold tooth, headphones cool blue shades and bling… this blue man is ready to get funky.

This is a great looking piece. If any of the bandaids were mixed media, I’d almost think this was a one-of-a-kind.

Oh, and the boxing gloves, besides being awesome, are removable. When you can, check out his hands underneath.

9″ Saber Tooth Tiger

This figure was named on a placard at The Florida Project, but it was not displayed. It’s sounds pretty cool though. I hope the teeth are 3D.

Holiday 3 Released

WDWNT Author on January 1, 1970

Holiday 3
Release Date: December 9th 2011

	Christmas Ornament We now have plenty of Vinylmation to make your spirits bright around the holidays! This is a nice red and green design you would find on a glass Christmas Ornament. Would have liked to see a hook accessory, but that may be saved for Jingle Smells. Variant
	Founding Father Hail to the Chief. Looks like a President’s Day figure. Powdered wig, a colonial uniform and the Presidential Seal in the ear.
	Jelly Beans Multi-colored jelly beans falling against what could be fake plastic green grass that you would find in an Easter Basket. With all these sweet Holiday Vinylmation year after year, Disney will have to make a tooth fairy vinyl because my teeth are falling out. Variant
	Fireworks Boom! And explosive design to celebrate the 4th of July. I like this design a lot. The pointed head will be great. The warning label in the ear is a perfect touch.
	Day of the Dead A colorful tribute to the Mexican Holiday. We have the Trade City Day of the Dead, but this one has great detail. It has a skull in the head. The maracas in the head and ears make this an exciting design.
	Cranberry Sauce Vinylmation Farms apparently grows cranberries in addition to raising cows for milk and squeezing OJ. The silver on the arms and feet represent the can and label lets us know there is a yummy Thanksgiving Day side dish inside. It appears to already be coming out of the can as represented in the head.
	Pot o’ Gold This was revealed on St. Patrick’s Day 2011. The body is a green pot with a four leaf clover. It is filled with gold with rays of golden shine filling the head of the figure.
	Puppy Love Revealed on February 16th 2011. It ~~seems like a bear or~~ is a dog who’s been hit with an arrow from Cupid. Poor guy, he doesn’t know what he’s in for. With all those hearts, it seems like a prime place to hide a Mickey. Now that Disney released the official name, Puppy Love, the dog makes much more sense.
	Hanukkah This was shown back in November of 2010. The body is a dreidel, with the front showing the Shin side (which means you add one to the pot, the worst possible outcome to a spin). Shown on the head and the right ear are gold Hanukkah gelt, which is sometimes used while playing with a dreidel. These days the gelt are gold foil covered pieces of chocolate. Also of note is that one of the gelt has a picture of a menorah, the candelabrum used during Hanukkah.
	Witch This was a popular figure. A cool hat accessory comes with this green witch. She has a lot of ugly detail in her face. And her ears are painted a Halloween purple. Unfortunately, nothing special on the back.
	April Fools Jester Disney has often given us some great April Fools Day pins, so it’s a bout time we get a Vinylmation to celebrate this jokesters holiday. He has a simple, fun look to him. I like the eyes and tongue sticking out.

Chinese Dragon (Chaser)

	Dracula Artist: TBA LE: TBA Price: TBA Release Date: TBA An evil looking face and great detail on the shirt with the bats and the pocket watch. It captures Dracula well, but I’m spoiled by customs that add things like real capes.
	Patriot Artist: TBA LE: TBA Price: TBA Release Date: TBA A very Patriotic figure, I’m drawn to this one as I am to the Patriot from Holiday 2. He has nice definition in his face and it for sure looks like he will have an accessory hat. I may have to grab this one if the price is in the 40’s.
	Easter Egg Artist: TBA LE: TBA Price: TBA Release Date: TBA A colorful egg design with a chick peaking out of the crack in the head. It’s a solid design, but doesn’t appeal to me. I do like the idea and placement of design elements.
	Chocolate Birthday Cake Artist: TBA LE: TBA Price: TBA Release Date: TBA Identical in every way except color to the 9″ Holiday 2 figure by Tyler Dumas. Not a bad design. Its fun but the earlier figure had a small production issue. I was layered with stickers for the pattern and they overlapped, misaligned and shown through each other in parts distracting from the overall figure. Hope they fixed that in this release.
	Be My Valentine Artist: Lisa Badeen LE: 1000 Price: $44.95 Release Date: 1/21/12
	Thanksgiving Diner Aftermath Artist: Mike Sullivan LE: 600 $44.95 Release Date: November 2011 Wow! All ready for a nap. I have to say, I love this design. It’s kind of gross, but very cool looking. Note his right arm. It looks a bit odd, almost like another left, but not sure if it is or not. If not, the new 9″ mold has two different right arms… one to hold accessories and one like this. (see below)
	Nutcracker Suite 9″/3″ combo Artist: Maria Clapsis LE: 1200 -11/18 (D23 said 1000) $74.95 Release Date: November 18th, 2011 Online This is the Rat King from the Nutcracker. The new 9″ mold, like the 3″, allows for easier holding of accessories. Here is a look around his head:
	Nutcracker Suite 9″/3″ combo Artist: Maria Clapsis LE: 1200 -11/18 (D23 said 1000) $74.95 Release Date: November 18th, 2011 Online The Nutcracker is the 3″ figure in this combo. Here, the shape of the head neck to body area of the new 3″ mold really pays off for the shape of the mouth.

Cutesters Like You Released

WDWNT Author on January 1, 1970

Cutesters Like You
Release Date: June 6
Artist: Dan Beltran

	Dreamy (Disney) It’s a little read haired girl in her PJ’s. Look at the details… Bunny slippers on her feet and what must be one of the last sheep jumping in her ear as she is already asleep by the closed eyes and the Z’s.
	Schooly (Disney) A girl in pigtails with a blue skirt and red bow. The colors look reminiscent of a sailor.
	Frenchy (Disney) This girl has a very artsy, Parisian look to her. The red scarf and beret are the perfect touch. And she has a heart in her right ear. And Je t’aime, I Love You, in her left ear.
	Hippie (Disney) A very 60’s look to this girl. She sports the bear feet look or has sandals and you can see the painted toenails. The colors are perfect, and I like the purple tinted glasses. A nice little guitar and the added touch of flowers in her ears of course!
	Smarty (Disney) Continuing the wonderful color pallet used in this set, this figure has bright purple hair, dark purple pants and a light purple tie. She is dressed in a striped shirt with a bracelet on her left wrist and glasses painted on. She must be a good student, getting A+ grades and with schoolwork on her mind.
	Tuney (Disney) She is ready for the band! A very happy look to the green haired girl. She is wearing headphones, has a record on her shirt and music notes in her ears. She also has an MP3 player strapped to her side.
	Glammy (Disney) It appears to be a celebrity dressed up for a movie premier under the stars. A camera in one ear is snapping pictures. She has a fashionable pink dress on with elbow length pink gloves. She has hair sitting on her shoulders and a diamond necklace and earrings as well.
	Excercisey (Disney) She is about to hit the track and exercise. She is wearing sneakers with wrist and head bands. Here ears read “No pain, No gain.” Game on!
	Hero-y (Disney) She appears ready to fit crime and make the world a better place for girls everywhere. She has a masked face and big purple star on her costume’s front. Purple gloves, shoes and eye wear.
	Pandy (Disney) This reminds us of the Squirrel and Tiger kids from Cutesters Too. This time it’s a panda costume with a little blonde girl peaking out.
	Rocky (Disney) She looks a bit on the tough side. Dark purple hair and ponytails. Lightning bolt on her shirt. She is wearing a studded belt and bracelet.

Flower Girl (Chaser)

Animation 2 Released

WDWNT Author on January 1, 1970

Animation 2
Release Date: January 13

	Flower Bambi (1942) Artist: Casey Jones The skunk is drawn well and true to the character. I could use more, but the green ears well represent the forest backdrop. (more than white)
	Baloo Jungle Book (1967) Artist: Adrianne Draude Although I like the Disney Afternoon version better, Adrianne really captured Baloo’s happy go lucky face.
	Chicken Little Chicken Little (2005) Artist: Monty Maldovan We have now seen new mold sets with lots of detail and shading, so I feel I want more and this is an example that falls a little flat for me. I would expect some show of feathers on the head. But I love, love, love the falling sky reference in the ears!
	Dopey Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) Artist: Monty Maldovan Perfect. If your not going to go stylistic, I like when artists try to capture the character in the style they were originally done. This seems to capture the simple yet beautiful art of this classic Disney film.
	John Henry John Henry (2000) Artist: Mike Sullivan The most obscure choice in the set. This character is based on a 10 minute Disney short. Really like the hammer and the expression on the face. VARIANT
	Kim Possible Kim Possible (2002-2007) Artist: Thomas Scott I applaud the awesome character choice. I like the way the face is drawn and I can see design wise why the pants had to come up so high, but go look at the Light Up set Rapunzel for how the hair can frame the face to slim it down. But i’m very happy she was included.
	Jose Carioca Three Caballeros (1944) Artist: Casey Jones Yay! So glad he is recognized here. Great face. Fantastic hat. The stars in the ears finish this one off very well.
	Sebastian The Little Mermaid (1989) Artist: Casey Jones What a perfect use of different vinyl features! The claws are welcome here. The blue clear ears and feet to give the water and bubble effect!
	Tigger The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) Artist: Mike Sullivan Not only did they do a tail, but the did it right.
	Tinker Bell Peter Pan (1957) Artist: Casey Jones No offence, but don’t get another Tink here. I understand there are a ton of back stage designing, production and scheduling that we don’t know the timeline of, but this is just a lesser but almost identical version of the Park 7 Tink:
	Donald Duck Fantasia 2000 (2000) Artist: Casey Jones Best Donald face yet by a Disney Artist! Great choice for a character and I love the use of rain in the ears and drops of water all around the head. This Donald is from the Noah’s Ark scene in the Fantasia update. VARIANT
	Mystery Chaser Your thoughts?
	Combo Topper Jiminy Cricket Pinocchio (1940) Artist: Bob Holden This is Bob’s first Vinylmation and a great job. Jiminy fits the mold well and the artist did a great job with proportions. The hat is magnificent. I hate to do this… but umbrella seems to be a no brainer. We will see.

	Three Little Pigs & Big Bad Wolf Three Little Pigs (1933) Artist: Monty Maldovan Release Date: TBA LE: TBA Price: TBA A beautifully detailed 3″ + 3 Juniors set.
	Roger Rabbit Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Artist: TBA Release Date: TBA LE: TBA Price: TBA Roger looks great on this large canvas.
	Rhino Bolt Artist: TBA Release Date: TBA LE: TBA Price: TBA A great expression on this hamster’s face and wow! It comes inside his own ball. Brilliant!
	Bernard and Bianca The Rescuers Artist: TBA Release Date: 1/21/12 LE: 1200 Price: $26.95

Villains 2 Released

WDWNT Author on January 1, 1970

Villains 2
Release Date: October 24

	Bowler Hat Guy Meet the Robinsons (2007) Voiced by: Stephen John Anderson Artist: Kyle Jensen Yeah!!!! I knew if I said his name on enough podcasts he would show up in a set. From one of the most underrated Disney movies of our time, this villain tugs at your heartstrings by the movie’s end. Thank you so much for giving us the bowler hat instead of painting it on.
	Honest John Worthington Foulfellow Pinocchio (1940) Voiced by: Walter Catlett Artist: Gerald Mendez Oh, the look of pure evil. Love it! Nice detail on the hat has well. Another case were I enjoy just the head and partial body.
	Captain Hook Peter Pan (1953) Voiced by: Hans Conried Artist: Oskar Mendez A classic bad guy. I enjoy the way this set is designed with some character’s head taking up the entire Vinylmation. It’s a good choice that really makes these villains come right at you. ~~But where is the hook? Variant?~~ In the side view, you can see his hood painted on.
	Dr Facilier Princess and the Frog (2009) Voiced by: Keith David Artist: Gerald Mendez This movie ushered hand drawn animation back into Disney movies. It was a beautifully drawn movie and this baddie stole the show… as many villains do. As much as I like the head shot close ups, this one deserves a fully body look. There is a lot going on with this character and so many movie references that could have gone into his ears. …looks like they put that detail on the back:
	Evil Queen Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) Voiced by: Lucille La Verne Artist: Gerald Mendez On the flip side to Dr. Facilier, this “bust-like” version looks phenomenal. I don’t mind no crown accessory, this painting is great. The vinyl losses a couple points for not using the ears. Again, give us movie references there.
	Hades Hercules (1997) Voiced by: James Woods Artist: Kyle Jensen I think I like this one… a lot. But I want to see it in person. ~~I think~~ the head is a clear blue, and that is ~~would be~~ amazing! Again though, Disney Store artists… please use the ears more. the flames can go up into the ears. But I will give the artist benefit of the doubt on this design.
	Big Bad Wolf Three Little Pigs (1933) Voiced by: Billy Bletcher Artist: Enrique Pita What a great character to include in this set! I think his face looks perfectly drawn. Look at the claws on the feet and the ears peaking out from the awesome hat.
	Lady Tremaine Cinderella (1950) Voiced by: Eleanor Audley Artist: Oskar Mendez I am blown away by how good her face looks painted onto this figure. The wicked stepmother’s bad hair due fills much of head and ears with the silver streak on the forehead. Her face is outlined in an evil fiery glow.
	Runaway Brain Mickey Runaway Brain (1995) Voiced by: Wayne Allwine Artist: Enrique Pita Another one? (Park 6 combo topper) Although I don’t want another so soon, this one beats the original hands down. I love the way that tongue hits the feat with a “splash.” And the brain on the back is amazing!
	Shere Khan Jungle Book (1967) Voiced by: George Sanders Artist: Kyle Jensen A personal favorite bad guy. His voice is etched in my mind. This is done well. Very cartoonish looking and in the style of the lions on the lion king set. Also, great use of ears putting some jungle leaves in there. No tail accessory, but it’s nicely drawn on. VARIANT
	Yzma Emperor’s New Groove (2000) Voiced by: Ertha Kitt Artist: Oskar Mendez One of those movies you forget is Disney. This gives me much hope for a Kuzco, Pacha, Kronk and llama. This character has to be hard to capture on a vinyl and Oskar did a great job with her face, but it just misses. We don’t get the full feel of her giant head piece and collar.
	Mystery Chaser Last chaser was a popular villain from a recent classic. Go ahead, toss out a guess or two in the comments below. Mine? Gaston or the Horned King.
