Hello, there! =) I hope I'm allowed to be on this website. I have no Vinylmations yet, but the other day I found this website, and decided to join to learn more about Vinylmation, but if not, let me know and I'll log out until I get a Vinylmation. ;)

Anyways, I'm a huge Disney fan! I live near Disneyland and go one to three times a week. My handwriting is the Disney font, known as Waltograph. =) Many people ask me if I have to "try" to write like this, but really, I don't. I just normally write like that. For a while, I made myself write different, "normal", but if I didn't take my time, I just wrote in Waltograph still. I did this because, I guess, I just didn't want to be myself. It was my first time at a public school, in a completely new city and county, and at my old school, I was made fun of. It was small, there were only about 7 other people in my grade, so there was no other Disney fans in that group of kids, and I was just left out. My new school is big, but I was just scared, so I changed. Then last year, I started going through tough stuff, like my parents' divorce, and for whatever reason I just started turning to Disney. I looked for comfort in it, and I researched news and stuff, and loved going there more, and after a while something in me just clicked, and I realized that I had to be myself. I started writing in Disney again, but I still felt fake, I guess it would be. I just didn't feel like an individual, I wanted to be different. I hated how people around me tried to fit in, and I knew what is popular is not always(its hardly ever) right, but why didn't I do anything about it? So I just started to find myself, I guess, and I realized what I wanted to be seen as in other people's eyes, too. I wanted to be optimistic, and extremely Disney, and show off that obsession to influence the way I live. So little by little, I've found myself, and I realize more than ever that the most important thing is to be yourself, and I've realized what goals I want to have in life, and what I want to do and have in my life and who I want to be. I've been getting more and more obsessed with Disney, and I've heard a lot about Vinylmation. However, I've never had any. The first time I saw them was when they first came out. I saw a nine inch one, and I was excited, because I had been looking for more ways to make my life more "Disney" around that time, but I was wary because I had a feeling it would be expensive. So I looked at it, and sure enough, it was $40, so I put it down and walked away. I'm a diehard Disney fan, but I'm just a kid, and I'm really careful about the money that I get, because I don't get an allowance. I save money from birthdays or christmas and horde it, and throughout the year I babysit and save that money. I saw this for things I need more than want, like school supplies. I do buy Disney things, like pins, sometimes, though. I didn't see the 3'' figures. I think because of the blind boxes, I just didn't notice them as much as the larger 9'' box and figure. A few days ago, I saw some vinylmation pictures, and I realized how much I wanted one of these, so I was directed to this site, and I read all about Vinylmation, the past and upcoming series, and about the prices. I was so happy to see that they have them at a more affordable $10. :) So I joined this website yesterday, and now I'm just waiting to go to Disneyland to get one. :) My mom's birthday's in a few days, so I'll probably go then. Also, to save money, I'll probably get one of each collection instead of more, and around holidays I'll probably use some money that I get to but a nine inch one. But, anyways, I'm so excited to become part of the VinylNation community and meet you all! =D I'm so happy to become a Vinylmation fan! :D

Welcome to VN! :wave:
Over time I have learned that being different actually IS good. Just "fitting in" is boring. :)

Okay, I will! =) I'm getting addicted to this website. :D I love looking at all the pictures and participating in discussions. I'm so excited to get one, I allready fixed up a place for them yesterday! =) I have an IKEA MAMMUT(they have funny names :p I just call it Mammoth) wardrobe, it looks like this:
http://formfonts.com/requestFile.php?type=1&id=4045&img=small_1_ikea_mammut.jpg
I originally got the blue one like in the picture, but we didn't open it until we moved, and when we did, we realized it was pink, but I just kept it anyway. :p Anyways, up until yesterday, it was overflowing, every drawer and shelf. :p So I was looking through a Vinylmation collection thread, and I decided to clean up my wardrobe, because I thought it'd be the perfect place for them. I could also use it as like a little studio for them, because the inside of it is all painted white and would look nice. :D So I was cleaning up, and I found lots of other Disney stuff, so I took some of it and put it out, too, but I still left room for Vinylmations. Here's a picture of where I'll put them:

I was really happy when I found my Stitch Halloween plush, because I kept him in a bag since I got him back in 2005, and he came scented, and when I smelled it, it still is! :)

Anyways, I hope to go tomorow night to see the Halloween fireworks, and then I'll get at least one Vinylmation, but if not, I'm going for sure Tuesday, because my mom wants to get her gift card for her birthday. Even if we don't go in the park, I'm gonna go in World of Disney to get one! :D

Yesterday I went to the park and got a park series 2 blindbox from the emporium. I opened it and it was Aquaramouse, the one I wanted! =D Then later I went to World of Disney and they had a few candy corn left, which were sold out everywhere else I went, so I got one, and I also got an urban series 2, which was chocolate mickey bar, another one I wanted =P
