The release date for the Mr. Toad Annual Passholder figure will be August 29 at D-Street at the Walt Disney World® Resort. In addition the figure will also be available at the Trade City USA – Vinylmation Showcase event.

We’ll be posting the release date for the Disneyland® Resort soon so stay tuned!

And for those who haven’t had a chance to pick up your Park #4 Vinylmation™ figures yet, please be aware that Walt Disney World® Resort and the online Disney Parks Store have a limited number of these figures remaining. If you don’t want to miss out on this great collection, don’t delay!

The Park #4 combo pack featuring the Plane Crazy Mickey Mouse will be released at D-Street at the Disneyland® Resort on July 16. Speaking of Vinylmation™ Park, here is a look at some figures from the Park #5 collection:

 

 

 

Announcing three new Vinylmation™ releases this Friday, June 25 at the Walt Disney World® Resort! First we have the Vinylmation™ Jr Series #2, which made its Disneyland® Resort premiere just last week. Second is the Vinylmation™ Condiment set, which will also be released at Disneyland® Resort on June 25. Finally, we have the debut of a brand new Vinylmation™ figure, Plane Crazy Mickey Mouse:

 

This figure will sold exclusively in a combo pack with a randomly selected Vinylmation™ Park #4 series.

All of the new releases will be found at D-Street at Downtown Disney West Side on June 25. For those who are purchasing the Vinylmation™ Condiment set, note that as this is a limited edition item there will be a purchase limit of two (2) sets per Guest, per day.

 

We have a revision to our special annoucement today. We will be releasing the Big Eyes collection at D-Street at Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort tomorrow. So everyone who is attending the release of the Sci-Fi Dine In Park #4 Figure at D-Street at either resort will have a chance to collect this great series.

A little trivia about this series, it was originally designed to be a blind box series (similar to the Park or Urban series). We decided since so many of our Guests have a specific character that is their special favorite, that we would make it into an open window box (similar to Sports and Oh Mickey!). There is still one surprise remaining as the figure which was to be the original “chaser” has yet to be revealed. While our Disneyland® Resort Guests will get to see the figure in person on Friday, we’re not going to leave our website visitors out and we will post the image of the figure on May 14 at 8:00 am Pacific (when D-Street opens at Disneyland® Resort).

Big Eyes will be released in additional locations soon beginning next week.

The Vinylmation 9″ Figure inspired by the classic Adventures Thru Inner Space attraction from Disneyland® Park is now available on the Disney Parks On-Line Store.

We are also excited to share today a new wallpaper image based on the one-of-a-kind figure designed by Disney Design Group Artist Quynh Kimball for the grand opening of D-Street in Florida. It is currently on display (and available for retail) at the location. We hope you enjoy it as it is one of our favorite designs. We will post some additional one-of-a-kind wallpaper images within the next week or so. The photograph of these figures was shot by Steven (and yes, he had his EPCOT Center camera strap).

We have a small revision to our release date announcement we made yesterday. The figure will be exclusive to D-Street at both Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort on May 14 through the first weekend. Any remaining figures will be released to the other locations starting on May 17.

A limited amount of the figure will also be available on the online Disney Parks Store.

In other news, we’ve updated the Sneak page to include a look at the 3″ figures for Urban #4. Look for these figures to be available soon at both Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort.

Speaking of Urban #4, a mystery pin collection will be released tomorrow featuring designs from this collection. Even though this pin collection has a mystery chaser, it is not the same design as the mystery chaser from the Vinylmation™ series. So for those of you who were hoping to get a sneak peek at the chaser, you’ll just have to keep waiting.

At 8:30 a.m. this morning, D-Street at the Downtown Disney® WestSide in Florida opened its doors to Vinylmation™ Fans. From 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., we held a special Passholder Preview. Passholders had an opportunity to sign the “I Was There” Vinylmation® Figure which will eventually be displayed at D-Street (in the orange case). Steven, Project Manager for Trading, told us that case would rotate out with various things like one-of-a-kind figures. It currently features the Disney Star Showcase with figures signed and designed by Disney Stars like the Jonas Brothers or folks from “Phineas & Ferb.”The first 500 Passholders that visited D-Street this morning received a 1.5″ button featuring Mr. Toad. This figure will be one of the first Passholder Exclusive figures being released later this year. When it is released, it will be available to Passholders in both Florida and California. The button was a special creation just for the sneak preview today.Vinylmation, Jr. Series 1 was released which featured 18 different designs in a mystery box. There are 36 key chains to a tray. If you purchase the whole tray, you get two sets of 16 key chains plus one of each of the mystery chaser key chains.You may also recall the Disney Parks Blog Article back in January 2010 discussing the Vinylmation™ Cutesters. Steven mentioned in that article that the Cutesters inspired bag had an extra mystery. It too was revealed today – a Vinylmation™ Junior key chain is attached to the back. At the time, Steven couldn’t show the Junior figure as we weren’t ready to announce this new 1.5″ figure. But now you know.The 6-foot by 6-foot Create Your Own Table featured an incredible Mickey Mouse creation. You have to see it to believe it.There were a few additional surprises that happened at the last minute. We didn’t think we could get the Park #4 Series 9″ featuring Sully & Boo and Adventures Thru Inner Space for the store opening. Yet we were able to get some. We even made another trip to the warehouse to get additional Sully & Boo figures (which as of 1:00 p.m., the store still had several remaining). The Adventures Thru Inner Space will appear again soon (most likely at D-Street).There was also a special Purchase with Purchase Promotion launched for the opening and found only at D-Street in Florida. Guests can receive a Vinylmation® Bag for $1.95 with any merchandise purchase of $30. See the in-store signage for all the details. But here is a picture of the bag.Around 12:00 p.m., the first official Vinylmation™ Figure trade was made at D-Street. Here is Steven with the Mystery Box 24 which has been featured at several recent Disney Trading Nights in Florida. D-Street in California will also have trading starting today. During the next few weeks, additional open “Trade Me” boxes and Mystery Boxes will be distributed to select merchandise locations in Califorina, Florida and Paris. Look for more communication around this coming next week.Thank you to everyone who visited D-Street today. We had a great time and hope you did too. Mark your calendars for Friday, April 16 at 9:30 a.m. More to come…
