Update: 4/7/12 The "Paper Cut" figure was released on the 6th at D-Streets. The figure was the one were used to know as "Flowers and Vines".

Update: 1/13/12 D-Tour will be released at D-Streets on Friday, January 20th, 2012. We also now have a look at the rest of the first release of this series. There will be a total of 6 open window figures in the first set.

The Urban series gives much artistic license to the artists, but D-Tour is art all upon itself. This is a new direction for Vinylmation. Taken from tee-shirt designs with different versions of Mickeys, D-Tour looks like an artistic gem of a series. This set will revolved around different designs of Mickey. It will also be different in that they will keep track of inventory and order more hot sellers and replace slow selling designs with brand new designs. They will be in D-Streets in February of 2012 and will retail for $12.95.


Headphones Mickey

A great looking design that uses the headphones accessory similar to what we expect to see on 80's Dale in the Disney Store Tunes set. I like the muted tone in the colors of this vinyl.

Mean Mickey

A face that looks like it took some inspiration from Runaway Brain Mickey. He has skulls on his shirt and scary shoes. It's always fun to see Mickey outside his normal self.

Bright Mickey

Lots of colors here. A heart in the ear. Almost a sunshine look to his shirt. And you can almost see a face in the body as well. It seems very Florida, almost Key West in personality to me.

King Mickey

A great drawing of an art-filled Mickey. My favorite out of the original 6 released. 

Paper Cut
"Flowers and Vines"
Released: 4/6/12

This one is just loaded with Mickey heads. I like the colors and the pattern is very creative.



Color Mickey

Almost Muppet like with its flat, separated colors. Compared to the others in this series, it is plain and not my personal taste, but it does have a certain colorful character to it.

Mickey Hearts

A cool sketchy coloring pattern. Hearts in the ears and body. I like the style of this one, it reminds me of how I color stuff in but more artistic.
Here is some of the artwork these are modeled after:
