Urban 8
Price: $9.95
Release: November 11, 2011

Warrior
Maria Clapsis

This figure looks like and Indian warrior. He has a great looking head piece and wonderful markings and coloring on the body. The way the feet are painted, it appears he is standing in some brown brush. Will there be a spear accessory?



Rudos
Casey Jones

It appears to be a masked wrestler. He is blue with a squiggle of chest hair. He has a black tank top and tennis shoes. And possible flash bulbs in the ears.



Barricade
Thomas Scott

Directing traffic everywhere. The head is a clear yellow and the ears give the impression of a flashing light.


Beaded
Betsy DePedova

A new artist to the Vinylmation scene. This effort is a colorful figure full of different shapes. Flowers, dots, springs and stars.



Hot Dog
Dan Howard


Looks yummy. Though I prefer just ketchup and relish.
-MC

I like the hidden Mickey disguised as an onion! - Nick




Beatnik
Thomas Scott

This cool, cool cat has a simple black and white stripe shirt a beret and small artist-like eye glasses. He has some chin hair and a pencil mustache. The ears are painted a solid red.



Raccoon
Casey Jones

This little fellow looks happy. Maybe he saw the hotdog. It's a purple raccoon with a bushy tail... just like the Cheshire cat's.



Tree Frog
Robert Vann

Watch out! They are poisonous. This one has a great color green and a cool glossy finish.


Cave Painting
Thomas Scott

It looks like a painted you would see inside a cave. Different shapes and colors tell a story the artist wishes to pass down to us.



Yellow Robot
Billy Davis

The Disney Store artists have a robot series all to themselves, but the Disney Design group wanted some of their own. What job do you think this robot was built to perform?


Zombie Break Dancer
Monty Maldovan

Gold tooth, headphones cool blue shades and bling... this blue man is ready to get funky.

Mystery Chaser

LE 800

This one is adorable. Buy several, each for each woman in your life.
9" Boxer

Artist: Casey Jones
$39.95
January 2012
LE 1000

This is a great looking piece. If any of the bandaids were mixed media, I'd almost think this was a one-of-a-kind.

Oh, and the boxing gloves, besides being awesome, are removable. When you can, check out his hands underneath.
9" Saber Tooth Tiger

$39.95
January 2012

This figure was named on a placard at The Florida Project, but it was not displayed. It's sounds pretty cool though. I hope the teeth are 3D.
