A Bright New Idea in Vinylmation

Last September, the Disney Vinylmation team intrigued the masses with light up Vinylmation in the display case.

Very little details were known at the time and I brought these forgotten figures up in an article about future releases a few weeks back. Today, we finally know more. The Vinylmation Blog has given us a release date of March 2 and a price of $24.95 each... and the come with batteries! Thanks big D. They will right now be released at D-Streets. No word of an online or Disney Store release. Here is a better look at the product shots provided by Disney.

The first lineup of the 7" figures includes the colors red, purple, green and white. When we saw them in person, they reminded me of a small light up football I used to have that would light up when you pushed a glow stick inside. Its a soft plastic with small holes to allow the light out. The size seams perfect for what they are and I like the fact that they do not need electrical cords. I can see them used as a good night light or Disney/Vinylmation themed party decoration. I can even see many custom artist's minds lighting up (pun intended) with uses for these. What would you use them for? Let's hear your suggestions.
