From the official Vinylmation blog:

Vinylmation™ collectors in the Walt Disney World® area should note that the release date for the Urban #3 9″ figures will now be March 19. To purchase one of the figures, visit one of the following store locations:

• Magic Kingdom® Park – Merchant of Venus and Space Mountain Shop
• Epcot® – Art of Disney and MouseGear
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ – Animation Gallery and Beverly Sunset
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park – Disney Outfitters
• Downtown Disney® Marketplace – Art of Disney


The Art of Disney Store at Epcot® just got a way cool new Vinylmation™ display today!



The display includes a giant Vinylmation™ figure painted to resemble the familiar chaser icon. We also really like the window treatment, with a trim of Vinylmation™ figures.



The front of the window says “Which one did you get?”, which is quickly becoming our favorite Vinylmation™ catchphrase.

Make sure to stop by the Art of Disney next time you’re at Epcot® to see the display in person!

The official Vinylmation website blog is reporting that the 3″ Cutesters will not make it to the Disneyland Resort by December 17th. However, the new colors of the Create-Your-Own Vinylmation will be released with Urban Series #3 at the D Street on December 17th.

-The Cutesters and Urban Series #3 3″ figures will now be released at the Disneyland Resort beginning on December 17th. The figures will still not be released at Walt Disney World until sometime later this month.

-In other news, there are two additional pieces of Vinylmation apparel debuting at the D Street store today:

-The long-awaited Cutesters series and Urban Series #3, as well as the first-ever batch of Vinylmation apparel, will be released at the Disneyland Resort’s newest store, D Street, on December 15th. Walt Disney World is expecting to recieve both Vinylmation series around December 20th. The Cutesters will only be 3″ figures, while only Urban Series #3 3″ figures will be released in December. The 9″ figures from Urban Series #3 are expected to hit shelves in Florida and California at some point in Janaury 2010.

-The D Street store at Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney (opening December 15th) will be the major Vinylmation retailer for the west coast. As stated in the store’s press release:

A place where urban art inspired product “intersects” with a Disney creative edge. This raw, unfinished industrial style space will showcase a mix of Disney inspired art created by local and underground artists. Also up for grabs is cutting edge apparel, pop culture novelties, vinyl figures, collectibles and more.

D Street will feature Disney vintage looks from Disney Couture, urban styles and artwork from Bloc 28, Surf and Skate inspired apparel, artwork and accessories, as well as Star WarsTM tees. Also available at this new hot spot are some of the latest offerings from jewelry designers such as Tarina Tarantino and Classic Hardware as well as fashions from labels like Mighty Fine and Harajuku Lovers. The location will also be home to the work of one of Southern California’s local Artists, Noah. Noah draws his inspiration from his love of Disney as well as his love of the forgotten era that we tend to cling to, which includes old movies, classic cars and rockabilly style Kustom Kulture.

This new urban-style location will also pave the way for everything VinylmationTM. Considered one of the flagship stores for Vinylmation figures, D Street will showcase the latest releases from the various collections, including the Park Series, Urban Series, Holiday Series and more. Designed by the creative talents from our Disney Design Group, Disney Vinylmation takes on a whole new meaning in the world of collectibles. These 3″ and 9″ figures are often designed to represent icons, attractions and characters from Disney Parks & Resorts or have more of street feel with their urban-inspired looks.

So be sure to hit the “street” and see what’s in store for you!
