Food & Wine 2012 Vinylmation

Last year's Food and Wine Vinylmation, while a nice artistic design, didn't capture the essence of the festival to me. This year's is a different story.
The Disney Parks Blog just released the above product shot of the 2012 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Vinylmation... and it is remarkable! Tony from Lady and the Tramp is the subject of this stunning Billy Davis designed piece. His right ear is full of spaghetti and meatballs with the left a starry night sky.

Here we see Tony delivering a heaping plate of spaghetti and meatballs to Lady and Tramp. What a great job Bill Davis did at capturing Tony's unique face. The large nose, mustache, grey around the eyes, balding head... it's all in there. This figure will be LE 2500 and be released at the start of the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot on September 28th. We were also given a look at some other merchandise.
The Figment is the LE Annual Passholder pin and Mickey in the cranberry pool is a DVC exclusive. Visit Once Upon a Pin for more info.
NOAH has painted the signature artwork for the festival. We will see it appear on numerous items throughout the festival. The Epcot Food & Wine Festival is my very favorite time of year at WDW. I'm not sure what I am more excited about, Tony or the food... who am I kidding... the food. What foods are you most looking forward too? And how about that Tony vinyl!
