Disney Store Online Report: 5/24/11

Hello Vinylmation fans. In this week’s DSO report we’ll be going over the new Urban 6 9”s, a few price variants, and unfortunately a few sell outs as well.
Introducing At around 1 A.M. last Friday the Urban 6’s made their way onto the shelves of the Disney Store Online. Varying from Vikings to Light Meter, these are quite interesting pieces of art and thankfully none are listed as sold out as of yet. All four are single 9”s priced at $39.95 and come with artist cards. Created by Susana Gay, the Light Meter 9” is a LE of 800 and is modeled off of “photographic light gauge equipment,” as DSO calls it. The Light Meter is also listed as an Online Exclusive Vinylmation.
	With rainbow hearts and hidden Mickeys galore, the Love Vinylmation, designed by Padla Gutierrez, is an excellent addition to the Urban 6 series. This too is a LE of 800.
This is only the second 9” Vinlymation I’ve picked up myself and although it hasn’t arrived yet I’m pretty excited. Designed by Eric Caszatt and a LE of 600, the Star Bright 9” looks like something out of a Super Mario videogame. The purple, blue, orange, and yellow stripes and stars make it an extremely vibrant piece. Star Bright is also listed as an online exclusive.
	The last of the Urban 6 9”s is the Viking, by designer Doug Strayer. A LE of 800, this Vinylmation spawns from Viking hat combo previously produced this year.
Although two out of the three Animation 9”s are still not listed under Vinylmation, all three are available this week. To find Hyacinth and Willie you need to search for “animation” in the DSO search bar. All three are priced at $39.95. The first of these 9”, designed by Thomas Scott (Lead Vinylmation Designer) and from Disney’s Fantasia, is Hyacinth Hippo. Hyacinth is a LE of 1200.
	Designed by Maria Clapsis and from the Make Mine Music segment “The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met,” Willie the Whale is a lively, singing addition to the Animation 1 collection. Willie is a LE of 1000.
Comebacks Beast, who was sold out last week but is again available online, is designed by Monty Maldovan and is from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Beast is a LE of 1000.
	Although sold out last week, the Sea Creatures Shark is once again available online for $9.95.
