Classic Collection Photoshoot

I was very excited to take the Classic Collection to Walt Disney World for a photoshoot... well before the set was even released. I had already decided the shoot would be in black and white, but I had not settled on a place to take them. I at first thought Main Street USA at the Magic Kingdom would be the right spot. But in the end, I decided Hollywood Blvd at Disney's Hollywood Studios would be more suitable. Then, when we went to take pictures, Austin and I were not in agreement on what type of photos to take. So we each set up our own photo for each figure (except Oswald) and we would like to share those with you now. (you can find more Classic Collection photos and follow all the Vinylmation news on our Facebook page)

Disneyland Classics Signing Cancelled

We all knew it was going to be a long two days for Eric Caszatt when the Classics collection comes out, but today the Vinylmation blog announced that the signing at Disneyland would no longer take place. The one at WDW is still going on though. No word on what exactly happened, but it's sad to see such a cool idea (back to back signings) not happen. It does still seem like DLR will be getting the set released on Saturday November 10th.

Disney Classic Collection Explained

Disney Classic Collection
November 9, 2012 at WDW, November 10, 2012 at DLR
Where: D-Streets
Price: $12.95
Details: 12 figure mystery box series. Disney characters in their classic black and white form. The series artist, Eric Caszatt will have a signing at both the WDW and DLR releases.

Update 9/10/12 Updated pictures with HQ photos from Mickey's Circus.

Update 7/18/12 Product shots of Minnie, Mickey, Clara and Donald added.

Update 6/30/12 If it wasn't for that pesky Haunted Mansion series, the Disney Classic Collection may be the most anticipated set among Disney fans. So imagine the excitement when these images showed up in the window at D-Street Anaheim! Zoe snapped us some pictures that give us a look at most of the set. (Clarabell the Cow and Donald Duck have already been shown to us by Disney)

	Minnie Mouse First Appearence: Plane Crazy (1928) She appears in the Kingdom Hearts video game series as the queen of Disney Castle, with Mickey serving as the king and her husband.
	Pluto First Appearance: The Chain Gang (1930) Pluto is considered one of the first Disney characters to break out of the "rubber hose and circle" formula style the studio had relied on; the dog's design gave him the appearance of actually being round instead of flat.
	Mickey Mouse First Appearance: Steamboat Willie (1928) Walt Disney himself voiced Mickey until 1947. Bret Iwan is the current man behind the voice.
	Dippy Dawg (Goofy) First Appearance: Mickey's Revue 1932 By his seventh appearance, in Orphan's Benefit first released on August 11, 1934, he gained the new name "Goofy" and became a regular member of the gang along with two other new characters: Donald Duck and Clara Cluck.
	Horace Horsecollar First Appearance: The Plow Boy (1929) He appeared frequently from 1930 to 1932 and less frequently afterward, making his final classic-era cartoon in 1942. Horace was given small cameos in Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983) and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
	Gideon Goat Not 100% sure about this one, there seem to to be a few different goats in early Disney cartoon history and in my research, this one was only in comics. But the horns and glasses point to Gideon. Gideon Goat was a supporting character in the Mickey Mouse comic strips of the 1930s. Gideon first appeared in the 1930 Mickey Mouse Book #1.
	Clara Cluck First Appearance: Orphan's Benefit (1934) Clara's singing is meant to be a caricature of the Bel Canto style of Opera singing popular at the time of her appearance.
	Pete First Appearance: Alice Solves the Puzzle (1925) Pete is the oldest continuing Disney character, having debuted three years before Mickey Mouse. in the cartoon
	Peter Pig (May also be Percy Pig?) First Appearance: The Wise Little Hen (1934) Peter Pig only appeared in animation again in The Band Concert and was used in various Disney comics as well. He also made a brief cameo in 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
	Clarabell the Cow First Appearance: Plane Crazy (1928) Often paired with Horace Horsecollar, she sometimes was the love interest of Goofy.
	Donald Duck First Appearance: The Wise Little Hen (1934) He has appeared in more films than any other Disney character and is the fifth most published comic book character in the world after Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Wolverine.
	Oswald Mystery Chaser It had to be Oswald. Ever since we saw the bunny ears introduced... it had to be Oswald!

Mickey's Circus- Classic

Eric Caszatt will be signing at both.
