Comic Con Vinylmation Explained

Update: 7/10/12

Disney Store will release two (2) of these very limited-edition figures during each day of Comic Con. For the lucky few attending "Preview Day" tomorrow (Wednesday 7/11/12), the head chef will showcase his street side buffet you can purchase all eight (8) figures on the same day! Be sure to stop by the Funko booth (#4829/4928) to pick them up. Each figure retails for $10.00. 250/each available per design.



Update: 7/6/12 Queen and King of Hearts shown at the WDW Trade Show. Also saw Park Starz Pink Squid Variant.

San Diego Comic Con is on July 12-15 in California and Disney has announced several Vinylmation releases spread through out the event. According to the Vinylmation blog, they will be available for purchase online. (But we assume they will also be at the event)
July 11
Comic Con Boy and Girl
Two 3" Combo
LE 2000
$34.95

A part of the Comic Con celebration Disney is releasing this two pack set of two kids dressed up in costumes (much like what many of the people who attend the event do). I like the girl's use of a accessories, both a cape and glasses. Very cool.
The boy is a little more Robin themed. he's got a mask and a little hat. He's got the costume and a utility belt (which just happens to hold vinylmation).

This is a great set, although we had hoped this might have been the introduction of Marvel by having the kids dress up as Marvel characters.

July 12
Pixar's Up Young Carl and Ellie
Two 3" Combo
LE 2000
$26.95

Amazing. Spot on. Perfect use of ears. Grape Soda cap!!!

July 13
Park Starz Squid Variant
LE 1954
$24.95

We first saw this as part of Thomas Scott's John Carter vinylmation interview video on 3/7/12. This will be the fourth variant to the Park Starz 1 series, I love the color. Prefect.
July 14
Alice in Wonderland Queen and King
3" and Jr Combo
LE 2500
$24.95

Inspired by the the size difference of the King and Queen, this set will portray the Queen at a full 3 inches and the King in a mini Junior. This will be the third Queen of Hearts 3". The first one was with the Alice set and the second will be in the Villains 3 set.

July 15
Popcorns Mickey Mouse Pie Eye Variant

In celebration of the upcoming Popcorns series, Disney is releasing a black and white variant of the Mickey design. (Similar to Funko's Metal Mickey from Comic Con last year)
