RoE: Park 13 and Combo Topper

Park 13
Expected release date: November 29th, 2013
8 figure blind box plus combo topper

Update: Park 13 Signing on November 29th, 2013 from 5 pm to 7 pm at D-Street WDW.

Mickey Magnificent is the combo topper. It will be released on November 22nd, a week before the expected set release, for $24.95. Which begs the question, what is the Tower of Terror figure we saw. Did they really show us the chaser first? And is he really the chaser again?

Below are more close up of figures we already know about.

Park 9 Combo Topper

The other day Nick (with the help from some listeners) speculated on what the Park 9 Combo Topper might be. It turns out it was the Brave Little Tailor. We got to see it at the WDW trade show. (It's still going on as we write this. Get to it!)

This figure looks great. What do you think?

Vinylmation Speculation: Park 9 Combo Topper

I opened my email the other day, and there was a message from the Scuba Owl:

What do you think the combo topper will be for Park 9? My vote is for this Mickey from the Mission Space gift shop: 

I almost think it would be too awesome for a topper. But then again, the Park 8 topper was fantastic.
- Scuba

Well that certainly got me thinking. The Park Combo Toppers are always Mickey Mouse in various costumes or forms from the Parks or Cartoons. Park 4 was Plane Crazy Mickey. Park 5 had Sorcerer Mickey. The 6th Park series featured Runaway Brain. The 7th series Mickey was all decked out in a tux and bow tie as he was years ago to great guests when WDW opened its gates. In series 8, we saw Mickey in a Rainbow suit he wore in Future World at Epcot. What will the 9th installment of Vinylmation's marquee series bring us? Remember, the blind boxes come out on July 13 and the combo topper is slated for a July 27 release. Here are some of my thoughts, please leave yours in the comments.

	Dream Along with Mickey How about Mickey from his stage show at the Magic Kingdom? A blue suit and bow tie would look great. And I believe this was one of the first Mickey's to use the new heads with movable facial features.
	Christmas Mickey This could come in various forms... Santa Mickey or even this Victorian Christmas Mickey found at the Grand Floridian meet and greet.
	Halloween Mickey This colorful Mickey would be absolutely fantastic! The cap and cape alone would make this a must have. With today's designs, they can pull off all the colors and stripes to make this figure look perfect.
	The Band Concert How about a tribute to the first color cartoon? Not to mention how amazing this figure, done correctly, would look. The amazing hat. The accessory baton. If not here, this must get made eventually.
	Mickey's Christmas Carol I guess I have a holiday Mickey leaning here. But this portrayal of Bob Cratchit was classic and deserves to be immortalized in vinyl.
	Kingdom Hearts Let's go way, way, way out on a limb here. A whole Kingdom Hearts set would be a must have, but a King Mickey as a combo topper would be a start.

Future World Mickey Tops Off the March 2nd Releases

We saw him visit the shelves of DLP before the US parks, but now, the Park 8 combo topper featuring EPCOT Future World Mickey will be available at WDW and DLR beginning March 2.

The combo topper will cost $24.95 and will of course be packaged with a blind box of Park 8. The design in a nice choice for this WDW themed set and even the face looks a bit retro and differently designed than other Mickeys we have seen. Is it just me, or does the face actually look more costume like than the other Mickey faces?

Park 8 Variants and Combo Topper

Today we revealed/confirmed the Park 8 chaser (check out Park 8 Chaser Confirmed). We also found out there will be two variants in the Park 8 set. Remember, Park 8 now has a February 17 release date. Check out Park 8 Explained for all the details. Now to the Variants and Combo Topper.

The first variant is the Kilimanjaro Safari truck. The variant has no mud on the front.

The second variant is for the 100 Years of Magic Celebration. The variant version has a white body.

The combo topper is Mickey in his Rainbow costume from the 80's. Thanks to everyone who helped us understand this picture. Thanks to @CindyF1125 who sent us this picture of what this figure is. Very interesting. I think I sort of remember these outfits now. Great semi-obscure choice for WDW fans collecting this set. What are you thoughts?Thanks to Bev for pointing us to this Disney Parks Blog picture of the opening of Star Tours.

Urban 7 Chaser and Combo Topper

Well the time has come again to reveal this week's release's chaser and combo topper.

	Urban 7 Combo Topper I actually like this one. The color works for me. Seems like a Metal Mickey (like one of the exclusive Pop Vinyl for Comic Con) Thanks to J for the heads up. The combo topper will be available from D-Streets and online on August 5th.
	And now the Chaser! It was found on eBay by seller tjmoudy1. Thanks to all who pointed us to it! (Click on the mystery chaser icon to see the chaser pic)

What do you think???

Two Tone Topper Time!

The rumors were true, the Urban 6 combo topper is two-tone Mickey similar to the Urban 5 combo topper.

As you can see, this one is Yellow. We haven't found many people too crazy about the blah two-tone designs, but this bright Urban 6 figure is a step up from the dreary Urban 5. Will you be topping your Urban 6 collection off with this piece? We think it retails for $24.95, and it comes attached to a random Urban 6 blind box. They will be available tomorrow at D-Street Orlando and CA.

Simba's back, and front

Coming out tomorrow is the box topper for the Animation 1 series. Here's some pictures of the front and back. The front was just released at the Vinylmation Facebook.

I like the tail the most I think. He's got a sad sorta face, but the whiskers are fun. I am totally going to pick up at least two of these tomorrow. (I hope the variants are included in the set that might be on the bottom of this combo.)

Tell us what you think, just leave us a comment.
