More Tiki Tiki Tiki Room Stuff
Last week we saw some sneak peaks at three of the designs from the upcoming Tiki Room 50th Anniversary celebration. This week we saw some more. This is all from the collectables pdf they released this week. (There are also a lot of pins and other things. I'm sure onceuponapin.com will be discussing that in detail!
This version of Michael is by Javier Soto. It's just a concept drawing but I think it will look great. He's clearly got some idea of wings. It would be even cooler if it was all in feathers!
Look at the detail in this Katie Kelly figure. It's beautiful (and one of the only figures we actually get to see as the actual figure and not a artist's concept.
I like the dress. We'll have to see what it looks like in real life. Hopefully there is some wood coloring on the body (like this next one).
This year NOAH has been doing a better job (to me) of creating unique, but colorful vinyls. He's gotten away from his ghostly clouds on black to create some more solidly colored figures. I think this is another step in the position way.
This figure looks great. I'm not sure who Yakovetic is, but I like the idea. The question is.. Is this a vinyl on it's head, or just drawn that way? We won't know until we see the real thing.
The next three we have already seen and are by famous pin artist John Henselmeier.
So over all, what do you think about these customs? Would you want to get one? Which do you think is the coolest?

Enchanted Tiki Room 50th Anniversary Event
I love the Enchanted Tiki Room. More for it's style and place in Disney theme park history than for the actual entertainment value of that show in the year 2013. But none the less, I enjoy some good Tiki Room merchandise. Well, Disneyland is celebrating the 50th anniversary of this historic attraction this year and is holding a special ticketed event for guests. We recently had a look at the details and a sneak peek at just some of the merchandise that will be available. Still no Vinylmation mentioned, but we are still holding out hope. We think there is a high probability for at least a few one-of-a-kind customs for the event.
The event will be similar to the WDW annual trading event where you pay a price for a ticket and then get to select the merchandise you want to purchase through a "Random Selection Process." At the event itself, you will be treated to a themed experience, most likely with characters, sounds and sights related to the Tiki Room. There will be trading tables for guests and games where you can trade with Cast Members. Right now, the trading with Cast Members seems to be pins only.
