ZoMG: Park 6 from Zoe
Hello everyone! Park 6 is coming out tomorrow and I’m sure that everyone is just as excited as I am! Since seeing photos of Park 6 figures, we noticed that Disney decided to go with a bit of a Disney World theme, as well as Paris and Disneyland. Being from California and also always making (at least) one trip a year to Disney World since I was 5 years old, gives me a little background on both the Disneyland side as well as the Disney World side to Park 6!
Hope everyone enjoys Park 6 tomorrow!

Kali Kali Oxen Free- New Animal Kingdom Vinylmation
Also released today is the Kali River Rapids figure. This ride is from Animal Kingdom, which makes sense because it was a reward for reaching 9,800 followers on the Vinylmation Facebook. (1998 is the year Animal Kingdom opened). Originally the name for this ride was Tiger Rapids Run, which makes a lot of sense since this figure has a very tiger-y feel to it. (Hopefully no tiger blood though!) If this vinylmation keeps form with the other WDW figures we have learned about, it will be part of a park set in the future.
What Future Vinylmation Flags Would You Like to See?
Here at DV, we like to read things into Disney's words. Hey, it's fun to speculate. Well today, the Disney Store posted a short Q & A with Disney's Vinylmation Product Developer Donald Ferro. The post points to more Flags to come! The first series of Vinylmation Flags was a 12 figure set consisting of all the countries in the EPCOT World Showcase plus Brazil.
Complete 12 figure Flags set
Post from the Disney Store Online
Ya, they say "may", but its fun to talk about. So what countries would you like to see in the next round of Vinylmation Flags? How about if they do states?

The Online Disney Store is also calling this "Urban", but a look at the description shows they are obviously describing the Steampunk inspired figure and pocket watch. A really beautiful piece.

Thousand Evilos Woods
Evilos (the maker of the Mickey in Carbonite figure) is back with a custom set of Pooh and his friends. I really like the gold color of Pooh and the writing of his name on the shirt is wonderful! Also amazing is the mohawk for Eeyore. I've always identified with Eeyore for some reason. Check out this set at his site evilos.com. Also check out all his other customs, like the aforementioned Mickey in Carbonite and his cool take on TRON. (Also note the Evil Pooh in the background. I believe this is his trademark, making character's evil, and where he gets his name.) Right now you can pick up Pooh for $50 and Eeyore is $80. No word on Tigger as of yet. Thanks Evilos, your customs really raise the bar for everyone else!
