Dated 2014 Figures
WDW, DLR, HK and DLP
WDW and DLR have a 12/13 release date and $12.95 price.
All Blind Box and Open Edition with Variants
Variant Odds: 1 in 10
There will be a separate figure for each of those four parks that will be exclusive to that park.

Regular (right) and Variant (left, clear) for Disneyland Paris

Walt Disney World 

Disneyland 

Walt Disney World 

Disneyland Paris 

Hong Kong Disneyland

Update: It looks like there are red hat variants. Could this point to a blind boxed figure like Food and Wine with a special number of variants?

Update: We took a closer look and here are the differences. Park Icons in the robes and Disney Park Logos on the back of the head.

It looks like this year's experiment for 13 figures for 2013 didn't work out well enough to try it again next year. Although, I can not tell from this angle, but I think each park might have a slightly different figure, which would mean at least four (slightly) different figures. 

Did you collect any of the 2013 figures?

	Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Like the Magic Kingdom train in Park 9, this version has a smoke stack on top of the head.
	Aladdin's Enchanted Passage A really cool look to this one with Aladdin's shadow at the bottom and the colorful stars in the ears.
	Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril A thrill ride in Adventureland at Disneyland Paris, this coaster takes guests on a journey through the world of Indiana Jones. The figure has a nice look to it with snakes in the ears.
	Phantom Manor Mayor Thanks to my friend Adam over at DisneyBrit.com for confirming this one. This guy is found inside the Disneyland Paris equivalent to the Haunted Mansion and removes his head as guests pass by. Can anyone confirm the internet rumor I found that his head is or is modeled after Dreamfinder from Journey Into Imagination? It does resemble him.
	Orbitron There are many rides like this throughout the various Tommorowland's at the Disney parks. It is a high flying orbiting attraction similar to WDW's Astro Orbiter.
	Tower of Terror Opened in 2007, Paris's La Tour de la Terreur is located in the Walt Disney Studios Park.  It is nearly identical to the TOT building at Disney's California Adventure, except for minor differences in interior room locations and the Paris version is a half meter taller. At 183 feet, it is the second tallest attraction at DLP (Big Thunder Mountain is 197 feet). The figure itself is a more literal interpretation of the Tower of Terror than we have seen in the past.
	Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop One of the newer rides in Paris it is located in the Walt Disney Studios Park. The design is just a perfect fit with the parachute taking up Mickey's head, then the base of the ride taking up the body.
	Moteurs... Action Stunt Show Spectacular Located in Walt Disney Studios Park, this was the original, before it was brought to Orlando's DHS. This is a brilliant use of mold here. Putting the car on the head like it is jumping the flames below... simply perfect.
	It's a Small World A colorful representation of an attraction seen in all the Disney parks, the artist chooses the sun as the focal point with some of the flags and shrubbery. More of a representation than a part of the ride.
	Skull Rock This cave can be found in the Adventure Isle part of Adventureland. Guests can venture inside and look out through the giant eyes. The artist did a great job of representing both the rock skull and the water below.
	Swiss Family Tree House La Cabane des Robinson looms high over the Disneyland Paris park, and this colorful looking figure seems to take it's design cues from concept art such as this sign. It is a more idealistic look at the tree house than any real picture of it I can find.
	Mystery Chaser Click image to reveal the chaser.

Disneyland Paris 20th Anniversary Vinylmation

Original	As of 12/3
As of 12/11	As of 01/21

As of 04/12 

As of 05/01/12

As of 05/13/12

Update: 05/13/12 This graphic went in a completely different direction then we ever thought. Instead of slow revealing elements layered underneath, they are adding and subtracting things. This update gets rid of the water drops that were added last update, moves the balloon from lower right corner to inside the "0", takes away the peek of the castle above the 20 and replaces the water at the bottom with the colorful panoramic featuring various DLP attractions.

The graphic still links to the US Vinylmation site, but they added a release date: May 17, 18, 19 and 20 will see Cheshire Cat 2-pack, 9" Crying Alice and "other surprises."

Update: 05/01/12 Dew drops added to DLP Vinylmation logo... any guesses?

Update: 04/14/12 These figures will not be exclusive to DLP. At least the four 3" figures will be released at WDW and DLR on April 20th.


Update: 04/12/12 New images debuts as shown above. but does not reveal anything new. In fact, the 20 logo with Tink and stars seems to be a new graphic rather than an add on or color in as Tink is different and the stars are in varying places. Also the sorcerer hand is missing. No new hints to vinyls revealed and the graphic still links back to the US Disney Vinylmation blog site. The info below the graphic has been updated however. Nothing revolutionary, but it does announce the Disneyland Paris 20th celebration on April 12th (today). There are events at Pueblo Trading Post at 10:30 with the team DLP Collectibles (Pin, Vinylmation, and many other things)

Update: 02/27/12 @VM_Paris pointed us to a forum on the French DLP fan site Disney Central Plaza who has an interview with Marianne Sharpe, Director of Merchandise at Disneyland Paris, who revealed 4 of the DLP 20th anniversary Vinylmation figures.

A very colorful set of figures. No details on how they will be released, but the costumes sure fit in with the screen shot we brought to you a few weeks ago (see it below).


Update: 02/21/12 The French Disney fan site Disney Showcase Key reports that their source, a Disneyland Paris Cast Member, says Park 10 will be completely DLP themed. Just like I enjoyed Parks 7 and 8 being WDW themed, I would welcome a DLP themed Park 10. Your thoughts? They also updated Vinylmation.fr to include locations to purchase Vinylmation.

Update: 01/22/12 The newly updated splash page lights up another star or two, ads some water to the bottom of the screen and an image of the castle turrets begin to appear above the 2.


Update: 01/13/12 According to @VM_Paris, a new video released by DLP about the festivities surrounding the upcoming DLP 20th celebration points to possible Vinylmation designs.

There are rumored to be figures in DLP costumes.


Update: 12/11/11 Another gives us a couple more lit stars and a balloon in the bottom right corner. The balloon appears to be PanoraMagique, the hot air balloon guests can ride at the Disney Village, DLP's version of Downtown Disney.

Opening in 2005, it's a 6 minute flight above Lake Disney and the DLP resort. It is the largest tethered balloon in the world. In 2007, it was given a DLP 15th anniversary overlay...

...witch makes us wonder if a 20th version is in the works? This balloon would surely also make a great DLP exclusive Vinylmation figure.


Update: 12/3/11 Looks like they updated the image. I wonder how many of these they have planned?

Update: 12/1/11 A newly released ad (thanks to @VM_Paris) announces the celebration will start on April 1st, 2012. Not sure how this effects the vinylmation, but it's a good reference date.

Our friends over at disneyshowcasekey.blogspot.com brought to our attention some info on several 20th Anniversary vinylmation coming to Paris. Along with this will be what seems to be a Vinylmation website just for France at www.vinylmation.fr. Just that logo is up at the moment, but check back and see what appears soon!

Disney Showcase Key also has some rumors of the exclusive Vinylmation we may see. According to a Google translation, here's what it appears to point to.

A set of twelve 3" figures depicting. Disneyland Paris Attractions.
A set of 4 or 5 Disney Characters in Costume presumably from DLP.
and A 9" 20 Anniversary piece with three 3" fairies from Sleeping Beauty.

Check out the original article: Here! What are some attractions we might see? Here are some of my choices for figures based on some attractions unique to DLP:

Alice's Curious Labyrinth

Phantom Manor

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril

What do you think? Any ideas of figures?

Disneyland Paris' Castle is from Sleeping Beauty. Will the 9" be similar to the 5th Anniversary Hong Kong 9"?
