Urban 5 Photoshoot

We took the Urban 5 series around Walt Disney World for some photos. See if you can guess where some of the locations are.

Nerds Rock, Price Wackiness and Disney Store Online Update

A few news and notes about today...

Cupid "Love is Blind" 9" Holiday 2 figure from Q. Kimbal is available at the Disney Store Online (as well as D-Street in ORL and CA). Grab it while you can... LE 450. Retail is $48.95. Beautiful detail on this piece.

Flags 12 figure open window figures are at the Disney Store Online. $9.95.

WDW 40th anniversary open window 6 figures are available at the Disney Store Online for $12.95. Odd story here. That was the price at D-Street Orlando, but under the sticker you could see there was a $16.95 price tag. Well, when the set was put up online this morning, it was selling for $16.95. They have since reduced it back down to $12.95. It's a nice retro looking set, but 17 bucks would have been a bit much for these.

9" and 3" combo Urban 5 Racecar and Driver set BACK up for sale online. I just grabbed one for $74.95. There is a promo code for $5 shipping right now... SHIPFIFTY

A Trading Event at WDW was announced. March 18th from 6pm - 9pm at the Contemporary Resort. We will have more information on this as the date approaches, but mark your calendars now.

And some a new release date: February 18th!

Both Disneyland and WDW will see the release of 9" Park 5 Fantasmic and 9" Park 5 Tree of Life. Also, the much anticipated open window Nerds Rock series. Here is a look at the Chip, Dale and Donald figures, as well as some of the Nerds Rock Disney merchandise as a sneak peak at what the other figures could be.

Feb 11th Releases

Well it's been a long time since we've gotten any info from Disney, but late last night the Events page informed us of a lot of new things, coming in just 8 days!

First off: Everyone in California, once again the WDW 40th Anniversary will be delayed another week. That means that this Friday (the 4th) California D-Street will only be releasing Cutesters Too and the Holiday 2 9" Cupid. On the 11th they will be getting the WDW 40th Anniversary.

And now the big news!

On February the 11th both coasts will be releasing three things.


First, the Animation Combo Pack with the Simba Topper. We got teased earlier this year with the back of Simba (which has a tail) and now he's here. (Although usually the Combo packs come out only 7 days after the set, so this has been a long wait.)


Second, the Urban 5 9" Orange Gear Bear will be released that day. This bear was designed by Maria Clapsis (not Dan Howard who usually designs the gear bears) and is LE of 600.

And third, the Urban 5 9" Bacon will also be released. This vinylmation is by Thomas Scott and is a limited edition of 600. Who's got eggs?

Bacon!

While at D-Street this morning picking up my Flag Vinylmation set, I got a chance to snap a photo of the only Urban 9" we haven't seen yet. This I'm calling bacon. There is a LE of 600. Look for it soon.

No Driving Required

The 9" + 3" Urban 5 Car and Driver set will be released tomorrow, Friday, January 21st exclusively online at the Disney Store.

The 3" Driver looks great with a cartoonish smile, goggles and a racing jacket on with his car's number.

Here is a close up on the figures ear which depicts a windshield wiper.

This set will retail for $74.95.

Remember the other 9" Urban 5s that come out tomorrow too: Moon, Drippy, Hidden 28 and the Creatures 9" + 3" combo. Click here for our post with details and pictures of them all.
