Imagination Gala Vinylmation Complete Wrap-Up

The Imagination Gala took place at Epcot from September 5-7, 2014. This was WDW's yearly pin and Vinylmation trading event. On Sunday, Disney Design Group artist Thomas Scott took the stage to preview the upcoming Vinylmation. There were also plenty of new figures on display over the course of the weekend. Here, in one place and no particular order, is a complete recap of every Vinylmation previewed at the event. (All photos on this page were taken by Destination Vinylmation. Feel free to share them, but please give credit, thank you.)
