New SF Green Trolley Coming September 14

Update 09/03/13 Photo of flyer posted.

The Stockton St. Disney Store in San Francisco has announced an artist signing event with Enrique Pita on Saturday, September 14 from 8am – 10am. There are no pictures yet, but they are calling it the "Green Trolley Vinylmation" and specified that there will be "limited quantities available." Here is a photo of the flyer that we found on Vinylmation Exchange.

There was a previous SF Trolley designed by Dan Beltran that was red and produced on the original Mickey platform.

Medieval Product Photos Leaked

Vinylmation Kingdom, who posted box photos last week, has now posted photos of the actual Midieval Vinylmation Series. This series is rumored to be released at Disney Stores and online on September 16.

As interesting as molded accessory pieces such as this dragon's spikes and tails are, they take us way too far away from Disney Vinylmation. Again, great artwork by the Disney Store artists, but just let them make the themed action figures they seem to want to make. The production quality is just never there with the Disney Store product either. I am all on board with Disney appealing to a wide range of audiences and I know that not ever series is for every fan. I am a big proponent of just collecting what you like. But when the product is constantly brought in this direction, it really waters down the hobby's trade market and the respectability of the Disney Vinylmation name.

Two More Redux Super Chasers Pulled

Last week two more Urban Redux Super Chasers were pulled from blind boxes. The first was fond in Disneyland by Vinylmation Exchange member Larry Alvarado. He was rewarded with the Ninja cat designed by Maria Clapsis.

Then, on the other coast, a Space Monkey designed by Enrique Pita was pulled by Eric Pellegrino at Walt Disney World.

This makes four known pulled Urban Redux Super Chasers out of a possible 24 total. Of course, more may have been pulled but not posted in public.

Beauty and the Beast Vinylmation Photoshoot

Ever since New Fantasyland was constructed at the Magic Kingdom, I have been itching to take some great photoshoots there. Of course, Beauty and the Beast was the perfect first series to take over there and we finally got to do just that. I hope you enjoy these photos.

Spotlight On: Ryan Branoff's Pook-a-Looz

We got word from Ryan that he was selling this awesome group of vinyl tomorrow so we wanted to share with you. It's a shame Disney cancelled Pook-a-Looz, we kinda dug them and their style.

"I am beyond excited to debut my latest custom series: 'Pook-a-Looz Pairs'! Before I got into Vinylmation, I collected Disney's version of Ugly Dolls; Pook-a-Looz. After the series ran it's course, I moved onto the Disney collectible that we all know and love. I thought combining these two collectibles would make for the perfect custom set!

There are 32 figures in total, some depicting Disney produced Pook-a-Looz and some new designs. I will be selling these in pairs for $135 shipped. You can choose any of the pairs shown (listed in the comments section).

These will be sold on my customs page: facebook.com/customvinylmationryanbranoff on Tuesday, September 3rd at 8pm EST."
