Duffy, Disneyland and... Color Blocks? June 29th

We were originally told Duffy the Disney Bear would not be hitting D-Streets until July 6, however that date has been moved up to June 29th. Both the sailor and flocked version will be on shelves and retail for $14.95 each.

While both coasts get the release this day, only Disneyland will have a signing with artist Monty Maldovan. The signing will take place from 1pm-3pm at Treasures of Paradise inside Disney's California Adventure. Also from 1p-3p, Disney Design Group artist Quynh Kimball will be signing at Disneyland's D-Street.

All this is part of a larger event called Gear Up for Adventure... where a slew of pins (no vinyls) will be released that morning at Downtown Disney, along with artists signings. Then that night, at the Paradise Pier Hotel, a Free Disneyland Pin and Vinylmation trading event will be held from 7pm-10pm. Monty and Quynh will also be on hand there to sign vinyls and pins.

Another interesting spin to this day, is the release of the "Color Block Series". Not sure what this is yet, but it is listed in Disney's Events calendar as an open edition retailing for $12.95 a piece. This will be released at both D-Streets.
