From Official Vinylmation Blog:

A big thank you to everyone that has made these past two years super fun for us. We are glad that you love Vinylmation™ as much as we do. Just wait because next year will be even better.

Speaking of next year, one of the more popular questions we are asked is, “When is Vinylmation – Star Wars™ #1 being released?” We can say that it is currently in transit. Barring any “Imperial entanglements,” we are planning the series to be released in January 2011. No firm release date yet so please stay tuned. Trust us, you will know.

Remember, our challenge of getting 2,222 fans by Monday on our official Facebook fan page is still out there. So please tell your friends!

While this Disney Parks Blog article features mostly Disney pins, we love the first image. Perfect for the start of College Football season: It’s Game Time!

Today also marks the start of our look at some of the series we discussed at the Vinylmation™ Conversation during the Vinylmation™ Showcase event on August 29, 2010. We were thrilled to see so many fans in attendance and we were super excited to share some sneak previews of what you can expect in the next year. It may have seemed like a lot, but the releases will be spread out over a period of time. The ultimate goal is to give our fans lots of different choices (as everyone has something they like to collect).

 

First up is Vinylmation™ Celebrations. This will be an open window box series featuring a variety of things to celebrate. While you will be able to pick your favorite 3″ figures featuring a particular celebration, each box will contain one of three randomly selected Vinylmation, Jr. mystery figures. This concept is similar to the Vinylmation™ Sports series and Vinylmation™ – Oh Mickey! series released in April 2010.

Here is an image of the Graduate figure with the three junior figures.

 

And here is the Thank You figure with its three juniors.

 

Keen eyes will notice the logo above contains a few additional figures – Happy Birthday, Blue Ribbon – The Best, and the Mickey Mouse face one. Any guesses on the last one? Stay tuned….

Cody Smith has returned from a final day at Trade City USA, today was the Vinylmation Showcase. Not only did we have the ultimate preview area, but also taking place was the Vinylmation Conversation, a 30-minute information presentation by Steven Miller of upcoming news and previews in the Vinylmation World.

Let’s begin with a Park Series #5 Preview of the whole set (excluding chaser, and a few 9in Figures)
