A few of you may be wondering about an announcement that was shared yesterday about Duffy, The Disney Bear. Passholders who attended a sneak preview of Duffy, The Disney Bear heard that he is coming to the world of Vinylmation™. It’s true and we can’t wait. We spoke with Donald Ferro, product developer for Vinylmation™ about this figure.

“Mickey Mouse will remain the current platform for Vinylmation at this time,” explained Donald. “We are looking at different forms to complement the Mickey Mouse form and Duffy, The Disney Bear will be one of them. He will be a unique form not necessarily designed to replace the Mickey shaped form.”

Stay tuned for future interviews with Monty Maldovan and Thomas Scott, two of the Disney Design Group Artists, who are working on this different and unique form. We are still in the high-level concept phase. When we have additional concepts to show, we will post them here (and on the Sneak page).

Begninning on September 24 at D-Street at Disneyland® and Walt Disney World® Resort, Disney Vacation Club Members are invited to “welcome home” this exclusive Vinylmation™ Figure. This 3″ Vinylmation™ Figure will be sold in a collectible tin and features the iconic Disney Vacation Club logo. As you might expect members must show a valid Member ID in order to purchase this Vinylmation™ Figure.

EVENT

Trade City, USA – Vinylmation™ Showcase at Epcot® – World ShowPlace
The first-ever Vinylmation™ Event will take place on Sunday, August 29 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This “Vinylmation™ Showcase” will be held in World Showplace at Epcot®. It is part of the annual Disney Pin Celebration which this year has the theme of “Trade City, USA.” As the story goes, the newest subdivision in Trade City, USA is called Vinylmation®, hence the event. There are some unique items that have been created just for this event, and we’ve planned so much more.

In addition, at the event there will be quantities available of the following Vinylmation™ collection:

-Annual Passholder – Mr. Toad

-Toy Story

-The Animal Kingdom

-Disney Pin Trading 10th Anniversary

After a long break we are back! As we’re sure you can guess, we’ve been busy putting together the finishing touches on our Trade City USA – Vinylmation™ Showcase event. We really can’t wait as it will certainly be a historic occasion as it is our first Vinylmation™ event.

As part of the event we will be offering a silent auction featuring many Vinylmation™ items, including one-of-a-kind and rare figures. Click here to download the catalog showcasing all of the auction lots. We especially love the one-of-a-kind Vinylmation™ Figures by Chris Chapman and Adrienne Draude. While we tried our best to capture the amazing artwork, they really must be seen in person to get the full impact. Both figures also come with unique packaging as well which make them true collector items.

Look for more sneak previews of the event in the upcoming week. We can’t wait to meet all of our Vinylmation™ fans on August 29!
