Release Day! A New 9" Park 7 Revealed and New Years On Sale

Today was a big release day at D-Streets and the parks. First, 9" Park 7 Goofy River Country went on sale and a look at the back of the box showed us the four 9" LE figures for Park 7.
MK 7 Adventures, Goofy River Country and 2 Main Street Electrical Parade figures. All figures are LE 1500. Not surprising there are only four with Disney's announcement of more types of LE sets besides 9" and 9/3 combos. We had seen 3 of these at The Florida Project, but the new one was a second Main St. Electrical Parade design featuring the train.
The train is one of the most recognizable floats in the parade because it carries the sign of the name of the parade.

The back will be interesting. Do they take an artistic approach and paint the sign on? Or just more lights like its the rear of the train going by? As I said, we saw the other figures at The Florida Project.

Also released today was the 3"/3" Horse and Trolley combo that celebrates a Magic Kingdom Main Street USA staple.
It is for sale behind the D-Street counter... and also at the Emporium inside MK where our friend Chris took the above picture. 9" Urban 8 figures The Boxer, Fish Bites, 50's Girl and Sabertooth also made their debut today.

And in a semi-surprise the 4 open window New Years 2012 Vinylmation hit the shelves. We knew they would be released in early January, just not specifically today. They can be found at D-Street and throughout the parks.

Here is a look at the individual figures. The hat looks like a hard plastic accessory. If you bought them, let us know if it comes off and whats underneath!

2012 New Year Vinylmation

We figured it would be just a matter of time until this set of four open window 2012 Vinylmation made it's way state-side. First released in Hong Kong, Disney has now announced an "early-January" release for these. No price point yet, but we do know Maria Clapsis designed them.

Pink with a purple cap. We still do now know if the "cap" is removable. The design features stars, park icons and Mickey and Minnie.

A clear blue with a cap as well. This one has some stars, but also Mickey heads and a few "2012's" all around.

This one is a shinny white with lots of stars and a few 2012's all around. With no characters or park icons, this one falls a bit plain.

I like the big character heads on this all black figure. It also has some stars and is the only one of the four to say Walt Disney World and Disneyland.

The packaging is your standard open window box.
