Maybe the Electric Mayhem can play "Taxman" by The Beatles

Update: 3/22/11 Disney's Vinylmation Events page confirms an April 15th release date for both CA and FL D-Streets.

Update: 3/17/11 In a rare turn of events, after posting an article about a hidden piece of vinylmation information, Disney has actually expanded rather then decreased the information online. The "event link" now works. In addition to another verification of the details, we now have times. The signing with Monty will be from 2pm to 5pm at the D-Street in Downtown Disney in Disneyland California. The note also comes with the following small print:

"Limit TWO (2) items signed per Guest. We ask that you bring no personal items to be signed. Special Appearance Guests will only sign their respective merchandise.

Please Note: All Event and information are subject to cancellation or change without notice including but not limited to dates, times, artwork, release dates, edition sizes and retail prices. Merchandise for signing must be purchased on the event day at the event location. Valid Disneyland Resort receipt may be required. Paid admission is required to enter Disney theme parks. "

3/16/11- Thanks to leader (listener/reader) KevinVinyl24, I did some investigating into the release of Muppets 2. After a little searching I discovered this post on the Art of Disney Events page.

It's a little hard to read, but let me assure you that it says:

April 15th- Hit the Street! New Muppets Vinylmaiton Product Release & Signing with Monty Maldovan at D-Street in Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort!

This is awesome info. The set is by Muppets 1 designer Monty Maldovan, and we already know from Stephen Miller that the set will include 9" figures this time. (I hope for a 9" Snookums or Enlarged Animal!) The set comes out on tax day in the US so now we all know what we are spending our return on this year!

So far we know about three figures that will be part of the set. (Well we assume Floyd will be part of the set because he was part of the announcement at Trade City)
Sgt. Floyd Pepper Janice Sam the Eagle
Dr. Teeth

At the trade event last Friday, DV reporter Ryan got some snapshots of some of the upcoming releases. One of the most notable figures was a new figure from the Muppets 2 series (tentatively to be released on April 15th). It's DR. TEETH! From the Electric Mayhem. Since Janice was first revealed , we've been saying that we think the whole band will be part of Muppets 2, and now the band leader is here! We also know that Floyd Pepper is also part of this set. All we need is Zoot and Animal. (If here's not there we can always ask Celeste for one.)
