Railroad
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
Lin Shih

"I just want it to look like nothing else in the world. And it should be surrounded by a train." —Walt Disney

The #2 Engine at WDW is named Lilly Belle after Lilian Disney, Walt's wife. It was built in 1928, the same year Mickey Mouse was born. It no longer carries guests around the Magic Kingdom, but is used exclusively for the daily park opening ceremonies.



Camp Minnie-Mickey Bear
Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World
Caley Hicks

This bear awaits guest at the entrance to this Animal Kingdom area.



Dapper Dan
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
Thomas Scott

These guys serenade guests up and down Main Street USA.



Dumbo the Flying Elephant
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
Caley Hicks

This classic Disney attraction has entertained guests young and old since 1955 in Disneyland. It is a staple in all 5 Disney parks worldwide. Some people have suggested it might be Jumbo, Dumbo's mom.


Flick's Flyers
Disney's California Adventure
Maria Clapsis

I didn't know what this one was, then a reader let us know. The very next day I visited Disney's California Adventure for the first time and saw them for myself. There are various designs using different type boxes... this one is raisins.


Fruit Bat
Maharajah Jungle Trek, Animal Kingdom
Casey Jones

At Animal Kingdom in Orlando there are two can't miss walking animal tours. On the Maharajah, you get to walk through the bat section. These creatures are hanging out all over the place in there.


Phantom Manor
Disneyland Paris
Thomas Scott

This guy appears in several locations in the Disneyland Paris version of the Haunted Mansion, but mostly in the graveyard and Phantom Canyon scenes


Skyway
Disneyland
Casey Jones

There was a Skyway at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland. They all took you on a ride between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. They are all now closed.

The pin based on this vinyl is green. There was already speculation, but this increases the odds there will be variants of this one.


Typhoon Lagoon Gator
Walt Disney World
Casey Jones

Lagoona Gator is the mascot of the Typhoon Lagoon water park at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. The park opened in 1989 and is home to the world's largest wave pool. This gator is not to be confused with the blue Blizzard Beach Gator named Ice Gator.



Castaway Cay
Disney Cruise Line
Billy Davis

A cool underwater Mickey statue. Custom Artist Brian Shapiro sent us a pic he took while snorkeling around the inspiration for this figure:




Pineapple Dole Whip


A favorite frozen treat of park guests. Served at Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Disney's Polynesian Resort... this figure, with the umbrella and cherry, represents the West Coast version.

Mystery Chaser

Combo Topper

Brave Little Tailor (1938)
Voiced by: Walt Disney
Release Date: July 27 D-Streets

Great looking figure.




Dapper Dan Variants


In addition to the regular Red, there are Purple, Yellow and Blue variants.
