3" Very Merry Gingerbread

[Sledge]

These will be available in early November.

[♥disney.princess♥]

I was reading upcoming series, and I noticed the Gingerbread is called "Mickey's very Merry Holiday Party". I believe this is an event in Walt Disney World? We don't have one here in Disneyland. I was wondering if they're exclusive to that event, or if they'll be sold everywhere? If they're exclusive, is there a possibility they'll be like the Candy Corn, that ended up being sold everywhere? I really like this one, but I don't live near Walt Disney World. =(

Good question, though I don't know the answer to it :shrug:, hopefully someone in here will be able to tell you when they know

[Vinyl_Junkie]

Yeah the 3" Ginger Bread Man (not to be confused with the 9" from Holiday 1) is supposed to debut for the Mickey's very Merry Holiday Party. It is supposed to be limited to that event but as we saw with the candy corns they over produced and wound up even in some hotels! I do not know the production number but I am sure it is up there. If you are in Cali and need to order one it might show up at the AOD in DTD at some point or you can ask someone to pick one up for you. I will be down there on the 28, 29, 30. If by that point you still need one let me know and I'd be happy to pick one up for you.

[rotary2808]

I think it was posted on here that the Christmas Party vinyl will even be available during the day, that it won't be exclusive to the party.

[ViNYLhEAD!]

and theres always ebay, thats how i got my cast exclusive and candy corn..

[Mouseman74]

What we heard from the product planning team at the last Artist Party is that this vinyl is to be exclusive to WDW and to the Magic Kingdom. While it was originally to be an event exclusive to the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, they have now decided to make it available all day but again, ONLY at the Magic Kingdom. Due to there being 3 Holiday exclusives, that is why it will be park exclusive. Disney's Hollywood Studios will have the Spectacle of Dancing Lights vinyl and Epcot will have the Holidays Around the World exclusive.

Candy Corn was to be WDW exclusive, but some where along the lines some were sent to Disneyland. The product planning team told us they were not supposed to get them as these are the exclusives for WDW, while Disneyland has their own exclusives planned for the upcoming 55th Anniversary that WDW will not get.

[♥disney.princess♥]

^ Oh, okay, thanks! I was really sad that WDW gets some cool exclusive ones, but then I got to the end of your post, and now I'm excited! =D Can't wait to see the design for the 55th!

I think I remember seeing on here that there's supposed to be a Ticket Book series and a Poster series that are exclusive to DL. Not sure if these coincide with the 55th or not, but those will definitely be cool.

That makes sense. Insted of having 2 park exclusives at Epcot and DHS that anyone can buy and having another that you need to pay $50-70 extra just to get into the park to buy it, making all 3 just holiday park exclusives makes sense. I'm wondering if they ordered about the same quantity of this figure as they did with Candy Corn. If so, the sales of that figure probably weighed heavily into the decision to make this available to everyone entering the park.

Did anyone ever figure out how many Candy Corn's there were? I think I saw somewhere that there are supposed to be 4800 of the holiday exclusives, so I wonder if that's the number on Candy Corn as well.

Oh, yeah, I've heard of that one! I had no idea it was exclusive to California, that's cool! I think it'd be a great tribute to the 55th.

[gyotaku]

I would be interested in knowing this as well. I have a couple extra candy's and cast members to hold on to and trade with in the future, I am wondering if the counts on these are lower numbers and truly "limited" or if there are 10,000 of them out there.

I'm not sure about Candy Corn's number, but I'm pretty sure that Cast Member had an edition size of 20,000. You can check under the released series just to be sure on that number.

[gyotaku]

Wow Emily, you're right, 20,000......I don't quite see how that qualifies as "limited" edition.....oh well.....

[CrustyJuggler]

I agree, 20,000 seems like an awful lot for a "limited edition" figure. How many do they typically release for the normal series (ie Park, Urban, Holiday, etc...)?

[Mouseman74]

There have been no numbers released other then the edition sizes of the 9" ones so far. That edition size does remind me of when pin trading first started and they were so popular that Disney made a few Limited Editions that were 15000-20000 till they realized they were sitting on the shelves and not selling out. Then they finally lowered the edition sizes to 1000 and that did better for them. Since this was the first Cast Member one they had no idea how many to make and how quick it would sell.:idea:

so any florida folks want to help a california kid out??? :happy:

and a new york kid while you guys are at it.. lol

[Knev1]

I think the numbers of the casr exclusive had to be on the higher side. You still see them appearring on Ebay in decent numbers. The fact that this is still happenning and the asking price is not going up - tells me they are not too rare....

I think that's true - and I think they're still available at Company D's. :shrug:

[Smitty]

Yeah, CM mickey can be bought relativately cheap on ebay. Shipping is the only kicker but he can be bought for under $20 shipped. I just bought one from ebay.

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

So during the Nov. parrt of Mickey's christmas party the park exclusive vinyls should be released on the 10th of Nov then correct? Or one would assume so?

It should hopefully be released at the 1st party, but I don't think Candy Corn was available for the first few Halloween parties so we might just have to play it by ear.

[Mouseman74]

The Gingerbread vinyl we were told will be exclusive to Magic Kingdom and will be available all day, not just at the events. Now, as to the release date, we have not received any confirmation regarding a date. Once can speculate that it will be around the time of 11/10 as that is when the first Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is, but it is hard to say. Also the Spectacle of Dancing Lights would be estimated to be released on that day as well as that is the first night of the lights.

[BigAl_PT]

I just hope they'll have some left when I get there Dec. 12.

[rotary2808]

I just hope they'll have some left when I get there Dec. 12.

I hope they'll still be there when we get there on the 28th. Hopefully the way Candy Corn sold (even though he was only at most of the parties) should give us a good idea of how these holiday ones will sell.

[Dynamo]

Heck im just hoping they have them on the 12th of this month when i get there. I planned this trip thinking all these will be released and i could get some xmas gifts out of the way all at once....if they dont get released then i should have known better, Christmas shopping isnt supposed to be convenient or easy lol

[Sledge]

These were on sale tonight at tonight's Cast Member preview of The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. Mouseman says they accidentally got a case in and they told him that they decided to sell them.

There is also a Cast event tonight at MK for the Christmas Parade. No word on if they will be available there tonight or not, but it is a possibility. not be open.]

The important news is that these are on property in WDW so there will be no delays in getting them on the shelves like there was with Candy Corn. No word on DLR, but if we here something we will update you in this thread and on our Twitter account.

[Mouseman74]

The preview at Magic Kingdom tonight is for the Parade only. There will be no merchandise locations open to sell anything so no vinyls there tonight. Basically they do a preview of the parade and ask Cast Members to attend as this is the first run for the parade Cast to do the whole run of the parade with an audience. It's a lot of fun as the Cast get super excited and show a lot of support for the entertainment Cast Members.

[Sledge]

Pictures of the figure are now online and can be found here: http://www.vinylnation.net/vinyls/events/eventout.html

[Sledge]

I'm a little disappointed that they used the over sized jumbo cards again (similar to Candy Corn).

http://i36.tinypic.com/14kcqb8.jpg

http://i38.tinypic.com/2qnulif.jpg
(Black one is the back of Spectacle of Lights)

[Smitty]

So these should DEFINATELY be available during the Very Merry Christmas Party event starting Nov. 10th.... I haven't done much research on it but will these be sold in stores during the day or no?

[VinylGina]

Ew! I definitely DO NOT like these jumbo size cards. Horrible for collectors. Especially because it is just the Holiday specials and not the other specials like D23 and Cast Member. Booo.
On a happier note, The Gingerbread man is ABSOLUTELY adorable! I have to have that figure. Crossing my fingers that it gets sent to DLR by accident like CC did ;p
Spectacle of Lights is really nice too, I think it'll look cool with ELP Mickey.
Congrats to anyone who snagged these tonight!

[BlackHawkTraffic]

Great pics Sledge thanks :) Hope to get my hands on one of these.

[Stingrayleo]

Definitely not into the jumbo cards... wonder why they did it again?

[♥disney.princess♥]

Haha, same!

[HT_NSU]

Hm, I think I like the back of the gingerbread card better than the front. :lol: I hope this over-sized card thing is just limited to the specials and the regular series will still be the normal sized. Or better yet, get rid of the large one all together.

*****BlakeMP & BigAl_PT: I would like all three of the new holiday specials (Holidays Around the world mostly) for Christmas. Between you two, Will, Mom and Dad; I think we can make this happen! :thumbsup:

[Arynm]

I love this figure! I'm hoping someone can pick it up for me as I will not be going back to WDW until Star Wars weekends.

[mav]

Can these Holiday WDW exclusives be ordered through mailorder?

[VinylGina]

Im with you.
and I do really like the back of the Gingerbread card, its just too bad they didn't follow through and do a nice graphic on the back of the Spectacle of Lights card. Not only is it inconveniently over sized, its just plain black on the back.

[mickeyfan1999]

I love the vinyls, love the metal cans and the cards :nono:

[Qsk50]

My favorite part of these exclusives is the tin =)

[Return_of_Phos]

My favorite part of these exclusives is the tin =)

Same here, I use the tins to store the cards of my vinyls from the other series.

[♥disney.princess♥]

I wish Disneyland had some sort of holiday party/event so we could get some sort of special Vinylmation, too. =(

[Open_at_the_close]

I wish Disneyland had some sort of holiday party/event so we could get some sort of special Vinylmation, too. =(

Don't worry, Disneyland will have its own exclusives as well. Or example they are supposedly making a set to celebrate the parks 55th birthday which WDW wont be getting.

[Racer X]

Hoping to one next to our 9" Gingerbread. We don't get there until December 20th , All of the Holidays vinyls will likely be gone.

[HitchHikingGhostFangirl]

The gingerbread is probably my least fave out of the 3 holidays.

cant wait to have my vinyl buying night in december. Gonna do it all in one night especially if they're each only available at each park.

[Scarletwebslingr]

Personally I really dig this little guy. He just looks so happy...

The art matters to me on some, so I will pay a little more to chase it down. Other pieces, it's just the chase.

[Smitty]

Well starting tomorrow (monday) the GF and I will be hitting up WDW Mon-Fri..... oh yes, we are getting our annual passes! lol

So if I see some I'll buy them.. ALLLLLLL lol

[Mouseman74]

Just keep in mind that the official start date of the Spectacle of Dancing Lights is on Tuesday, November 10th. I haven't been back to check to see if they kept the SODL vinyl out or if they pulled it until then, but don't be disappointed if you go tomorrow and it isn't there until Tuesday. The same for the Ginger Bread one as the first Very Merry Christmas Party is on Tuesday as well, but they did say it would be available for sale during the day, not just at the events. Good luck in the vinylmation hunt though!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I checked tonight. Nothing yet.

[Smitty]

Yeah, nothing last night. I am going to go back today and check again.

[lilbocktell]

Ya, and another California girl :happy:

YES I am crossing my fingers that it gets sent there too so I can get one because I LOVE anything gingerbread. I was so excited when i saw the pictures on this one because, I can't bring myself to buy the 9" vinyls and I did really want the gingerbread one from the holiday series!! I just hope there are a lot so I can get one too. But I guess there is always eBay

P.S. can everyone else just cross your fingers too for californians to be able to get this one :clap: THANKS

[greenhpper]

So not the happy party goer. Very Merry was not so merry due to the rain. All tickets were converted to one day passes for party goers tonite AND on top of that the very merry vinyl DID NOT arrive! What!?! They had them for the cast party so what's the deal with a delay? Makes no sense at ALL. Hoping they come in for the next group of party goers.

I figured the rain would be an issue tonight thanks to Tropical Storm Ida. I am surprised the vinyl wasn't there. I have heard there are still some issues with the new inventory system and getting the orders out to the areas so I guess the warehouse is holding the Gingerbread Man hostage!!:look::look:

JEALOUS!!!!

[duckmanad]

Does anyone know if the Gingerbread is available at the MK yet during the day?

[Cosmos]

I think it might be. My friend picked one up for me down there yesterday and texted me during the day... :shrug:

[prowler01]

Just got a call from my dad. They had the Gingerbread at the Emporium at MK but they didn't put them out till it was time for the Christmas party to start.

[duckmanad]

Prowler, I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but the info you provided is incorrect. The Gingerbread Vinylmations were out all day at the MK Emporium. They may have been pulled mid-day but as of 11:00 they were still there. Sorry my friend! :)

Here are some photos of the vinyls inside the Emporium. FYI, I did not find them anywhere else on MK property. ANYWHERE...

[prowler01]

Well my dad has said they weren't there but odds are he didn't actually look till he was on his way out of the park. :doh:

He also said he ratted out some kids opening boxes at the Art of Disney store.

[Smitty]

I love this hunt for the Gingerbread Man....

[♥disney.princess♥]

^ Haha, is that a reference to the book? :lol:

[Smitty]

lol maybe....

[♥disney.princess♥]

"Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" :lol:

[JEP]

I think im gonna go buy me some ginger bread cookies tomorrow. :lol:

[♥disney.princess♥]

Haha, I know, this is getting me hungry! I love the Disneyland gingerbread cookies. I'm really having Disney park withdraws. =p

[Mouseman74]

The Gingerbread Man was to originally be only for the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parties but then we were told at the last Artist Party that they were going to be a Magic Kingdom exclusive but be available all day long.

[Arynm]

I hope they are available all day, I have a friend who will be going to the Magic Kingdom after Thanksgiving, but she is not going to the party.

[Smitty]

According to a source.... with 4k made of the gingerbread man, I'm sure it'll be around.

[Annvds]

How much are they being sold for in the park? I guess all 3 different vinyls have the same price.

[mickeyfan1999]

I belive the price it is $12.95 each.:cheshire:

[greenhpper]

@ MK now. No very merry out. Been to all stores that carry them.

[Gasgano7]

I got it at the emporium this morning. They're near the Christmas stuff not by the vinyls.

[Qsk50]

I hope they are still around when my sister goes to
the park on the 25th of this month :cross:

[Knev1]

I like this one - hopefully we have some members that will help us out. And then there is always Ebay.....

December 4

Main Street Gallery- Magic Kingdom® Park
Meet Vinylmation™ artist Randy Noble from 6pm to 8pm for a signing of the new limited release holiday vinyl.

I just read these will be available at DLR. I'm so excited!

[Scarletwebslingr]

I got one of these guys. I think he's awesome, personally. I know there's a lot of hate for this vinyl but I don't know why. He's super cute and I like the limegreen coloring.

What store did you get it at and were there alot left?

Also what other shops beside the Emporium and AOD are selling the Gingerbread figure my parents checked at the emporium and a cast member sent them to the Art of Disney and the cast member they asked there said they have not arrived yet and are on a slow boat from China to MK. Now I now not every Cast member is familiar with vinylmation especially, but when they went to the emporium they checked the display and asked a manager and they refered them to Art of Disney.

:shrug:

Weird. The event starts at 6pm, which means day Guests in the park would be able to see him until 7pm, which is when the event starts. And the vinyls are sold all day, so it isn't like it is an event exclusive only sold during the event. :shrug:

[whenyouimagine]

There wasn't exactly much of a line at this signing event. I am guessing a regular guest would have been just fine.

[rotary2808]

My husband and I went to the Randy Noble signing last Friday prior to the Christmas party starting since we weren't going to that night's party. We got there before 6 and he had already started signing items. We had no trouble getting into the park with just our AP's either with just a couple of hours before the party.

[mugirl0307]

I told my sister I wanted one of these for Christmas...I hope she got it for me! I think it's adorable.

[SHAYDEE]

I was at Cali Adv. yesterday and they still had a few at the Tower of Terror gift shop.

[JEP]

I finally got around to buying one of these today. Anyone else notice on the receit it rings up as "VNY NUTCRACKER 3"? How's that look like a Nut Cracker? :lol:

[cruisedude4]

Are these still available at WDW?

[Mouseman74]

Are these still available at WDW?

There have been a few here and there. I know they can be found in a couple of shops at the Magic Kingdom and D Street still had some I believe.

[IndyandMarion]

A friend of mine is at WDW, said she just bought the "last one" (Dunno if it was meant as stock or last one period though) from the Christmas Shop over in Liberty Square.

[mshalloween]

What does/did this retail for? I just got one off of eBay and I want to know how I did. LOL. I think probably $12.95, right? I think that's what the Candy Corn one was, if I recall correctly.

you scored a great deal...i was searching for these on ebay as of late, and the prices are $20+ not including shipping...
