From Official Vinylmation Blog:

Happy new year everyone! We’re really excited about 2011 and the great collections that will be released. So let’s get started with the preview…

Starting off we have more news on Animation #1 and a preview of a 3″ figure we haven’t shown before:

 

Those who have been paying attention should notice that this Pinocchio figure differs from the one we showed earlier. This other design is a new feature in Vinylmation™ collections that we call a “variant.” These figures will be a similar design to the normal figure found in the series, but with a twist. For example, the more commonly found Pinocchio in Animation #1 has donkey ears and the variant does not. Expect to see these variant figures in many of the upcoming Vinylmation™ series.

Let’s continue our look at Animation #1 with the limited edition figures:

 

Fans of Disney’s Pete’s Dragon will love this 9″ + 3″ combo set with Elliot the Dragon and Pete.

 

Another 9″ figure is the Beast from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast exhibiting a rather fierce expression.

All of these figures will be released along with the 3″ collection on January 7. However, there are four other 9″ figures coming in late spring. One of them is Hyacinth Hippo from Walt Disney’s Fantasia. We particularly love the inclusion of the tutu skirt:

 

Next we have a follow up on Park #6, which is currently scheduled for a late winter release:

 

This figure was inspired by the Primeval Whirl Attraction at Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park.

 

Casey Jones designed this figure inspired by the tiki totems found in the Adventureland® Area.

As we’re sure our Vinylmation™ collectors know, the combo packs for the Park series have been featuring Mickey Mouse in some of his most famous starring roles. So what’s next for Park #6? Presenting Mickey in one of his most unusual shorts, Runaway Brain:

 

Now we’re going to switch gears and move to a different series that has been generating a lot of excitement, The Disney Afternoon. These Vinylmation™ Figures will be limited edition and sold in open windowed boxes of two, similarly to the Wall-E/EVE release in 2010. The first set will feature Baloo and Kit Cloudkicker from Disney’s Talespin:

 

Finally, we have a preview of a new previously unannounced series, Vinylmation Jr #3 – Good Luck + Bad Luck. As you might expect from the title, half of the designs in the series focus on items associated with good luck (such as horseshoes, four leaf clovers) and the other half on things associated with bad luck (like friday the 13th, and a broken mirror). Here are two cats, one lucky and one not-so lucky:
