I'm a little curious about Kim Possible. In the cartoon she was so thin but I'm afraid as to how she will translate to the new mold if she will look fat like Tinker Bell. I'm looking forward to Jiminy Cricket, Jose, Flower, Roger Rabbit and the chaser. I think the chaser will be very unique and cool.

[Anders Limpar]

If the chaser is true that is amazing. I was hoping we might get a vinyl for this particular figure.

[mickeyfan1999]

Great choices for the 2nd series!!!

[Qsk50]

Oh wow! I can't wait to see the Maleficent dragon! It's a must for my collection. What I am most excited about is Tigger :happy:

[HawkeyeVinyl]

Wow great lineup!!!!!!!! (Except for Kim possible.....)

[Allotes]

Wow great lineup!!!!!!!! (Except for Kim possible.....)

I like Kim possible!!!

[Ticklyvinylmonkee]

I can't wait for these. It seems that all these are going to be must haves for me... well except for the John Henry. I like Kim Possible but I would have preferred Naked mole rat :lol:

[turdimation]

omg kim possible. that's unexpected. but what's kim possible without ron stoppable and a mini rufus?

[HawkeyeVinyl]

I like Kim possible!!!

:crazy: You would :rofl:

My wife was super excited about that part of the announcement; the show was ok, not the biggest fan.

Edit: Sorry, I was using tapatalk and it just showed the chaser. Am on the computer now, so I'm with ya. YAY!!!

This set should be pretty awesome, especially can't wait for Sebastian, Jose, Roger Rabbit, Maleficent Dragon, Tigger and Jiminy :)

[DimMak]

well we've seen what minnie looks like on the new mold and of course the fat lady in the POTC series on the new mold. as you predicted it might not look so good..but im looking forward to the combo topper, jiminy, tigger and the roger rabbit 9' also

[NiccyT]

Yeah for more Tinkerbell!!!!! :)

[HawkeyeVinyl]

Yeah for more Tinkerbell!!!!! :)

I like Tink, but it's a little bit overkill when she's in Park 7 which is set to be out at the same time.... I wish they would have spaced them more. I wonder what they're going to do to make them different :idea:

[SirScott99]

of course the fat lady in the POTC series

Except if you take a look in the ride itselt, she is actually fat so it works. I think Minnie and Tinkerbell look horrible

[TSSD]

Tinker Bell's odd, since there's a Think in P7 too. I LOVE the chaser idea, and love the Maleficent Dragon 9" idea even more! So excited!

[Wheezy]

I would have preferred Ron he's wackier and fits the shape better imo. Maybe next time, inbefore trade box floods with Ron.
Q_Q

[Hatbox66]

Omg roger rabbit finally~! :O Oh gosh i gotta save my money

[DimMak]

I like Tink, but it's a little bit overkill when she's in Park 7 which is set to be out at the same time.... I wish they would have spaced them more. I wonder what they're going to do to make them different :idea:

maybe Tinkerbell that has a similar design to the Little Mermaid from P2, where shes drawn on the vm flying around or something..im dreading a fat tinkerbell, it could look similar to the alice vm from animation #1 but designed on the new mold

[disneyobsessed808]

woohoo tigger. when will there be a pooh series though?

[deadmonkey]

Sounds like a great set but I'm super excited for the Roger Rabbit 9".

[DimMak]

woohoo tigger. when will there be a pooh series though?

indeed! definitely gotta have an Eeyore. ehhh i guess they could add Darby and of course Chris Robin

[mickiethepumpkin]

The 9"ers are definite winners here. Mabye except for Humprhey because I'm not familiar with that cartoon. I'm upset about Kim Possible though. Not because fit female characters look odd in this series but because the animation series so far have all been characters from Animated Features, not television cartoons. I just think it's misplaced and I probably won't display her with the rest of the series.

[HawkeyeVinyl]

maybe Tinkerbell that has a similar design to the Little Mermaid from P2, where shes drawn on the vm flying around or something..im dreading a fat tinkerbell, it could look similar to the alice vm from animation #1 but designed on the new mold

That would be amazing. Like the classic Disney logo before movies start.... Ahhh nostalgia. That would be perfect :)

[Anders Limpar]

I'm actually disappointed in this series and there are only a couple that are must haves for me.

[WALL-E]

The idea of an obese new mold Kim Possible is kind of terrifying me, but everything else sounds great! Esp the chaser! :happy:

[Anders Limpar]

Shouldn't the proposed chaser actually be in a second villains series?

[lintman]

The series seems pretty awesome. I think Tink is overkill though. I don't mind more than one but I don't think there should be two at a time.

[SirScott99]

Shouldn't the proposed chaser actually be in a second villains series?

You're probably right.

I also wonder why there'sa Roger Rabbit figure in here because didn't Disney lose the rights to him years ago? That's part of the reason why he's no longer in Spetro Magic and why Genie replaced him. I think it would be along the same lines as the questions with Toy Story and Potato Head, Slinky and those as well as Disney Afternoon with Gummi Bears

[Mr. Plow]

I'm just curious to see Roger rabbit and jiMiny cricket. I was hoping there would for a character from up, ratatouille, or a bug's life, but maybe in another series.

[stitch1085]

I only like about half of the characters in this series...Kim Possible should not be included in this series. She is a Disney Channel cartoon, maybe they should've done a Disney Channel cartoon series and include shows like Kim Possible, Fish Hooks, Phineas and Ferb, and the like. Also John Henry, Tinker Bell, the Headless Horseman, and Tink are the ones I am least excited for. Sebastian is a must and the Maleficient dragon with Prince Philip will be epic I am sure! Also Gepetto will look great with my 3" Pinocchio. I would've preferred Roger Rabbit as a 3" but oh well beggars can't be choosers.

[bartyboy]

Kim Possible :doh:

Roger Rabbit :happy:

[vinylcreation]

Did Disney make a short about John Henry?

Anyway, disapointed that Oswald didn't make it, but this will probably be a good series. :) I'm really looking forward to the chaser!

[bartyboy]

Did Disney make a short about John Henry?

[madsmort]

Tigger will be a great piece.good looking set.

[Wheezy]

I hope Tigger is the filler to make it easy on me.
Quite a few variants this set.

Humphrey the bear and Roger sound promising for 9 inch, but do I dare walk the 9 inch path again?

[SirScott99]

Quite a few variants this set.

Only 2 and that's been the norm with Disney with the exception of a few figures

[supergirljennie]

There are some I'm quite excited for! I particularly want Jiminy Cricket though.

[MsDisneyFan]

I'm really curious to see what Kim Possible and Chicken Little look like. I can't really picture them.

[Wheezy]

There's two Chicken Little, which one is it?

[mickiethepumpkin]

There's two Chicken Little, which one is it?

Hmm didn't think of that! The old one would probably look better on the mold but Disney is likely to go for the newer one hoping to drive sales with familiarity.

[FierceDeityMomo]

Definitely picking up a case of these! Have to own that chaser! Really hope the 9" get released online, but luckily there are enough great members on here that will help those of us out who aren't near the parks. Any idea on a release for these?

[TSSD]

I made a mock up of what I hope KP is more like:
http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx170/TSSD1/lunapic_13157170475936_26.jpg
Except, you known better, because the people making it are artists and not just pasting old photos onto a figure. :lol: Oh, and the entire figure would be the blue of the ears, I just didn't paint it that because I don't have Photoshop. And Rufus would be painted a bit better, a bit farther down into the body and higher up into the ears. And maybe Draken and what's her face, the green one, on the back.

[Tigertail]

Yep gotta get me a case!

[wonderland]

Ditto what Tigertail said. Definitely getting a case and all the 9" as well.

[Wheezy]

Rufus figure would be awesome, and I approve.

[JasonD]

Really excited for this series. The Jiminy figure is a must-have as he is my second favorite character behind Sorceror Mickey. Love the chaser, very outside the box. Would really only be upset if I blind boxed John Henry since I'm pretty unfamiliar with him.

[VinylMadness]

This looks like an awesome series, I'm just bummed about it being on the new mold. :look:

I'm excited that Jiminy is the combo topper, he's a good fit. The top hat is a must have :)

[Carol]

This looks like an awesome series, I'm just bummed about it being on the new mold. :look:

I think we all have to get over this now. With the number of new vinyls previewed at Florida Project and them all being on the 'new mold', that is what we are now going to get - it is really not the 'new mold' anymore - it is now 'the mold'!

[goolizap]

Roger Rabbit 9”

WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no, Disney still has the rights to Roger Rabbit, they just have to pay 50% of all his sales and imagery to Steven Spielberg

agreed....i will get the Roger one for sure, but not sure about the other ones---so expensive! :/

not necessarily.....fans reacted the same way with "new Coke"--eventually Coke changed it back to "Classic Coke" because they realized that it was better

[guia x]

I'm really starting to get excited about this series. I can't wait to see Sebastian. Only weird one is Kim Possible. Seems like an odd choice. I guess you have to appeal to the younger generation. Just doesn't feel like she fits into the series though. Looking forward to the Maleficent Dragon to go along with my Maleficent. I hope I can get one.

[Wheezy]

I wouldn't mind if they just used both molds at the same time, gives different options.

Also 9 inch is still the same mold right?

Hope we get more pictures soon.

[WhatTheDUCKanay]

I too think Kim Possible is a weird choicel.

[goolizap]

Also 9 inch is still the same mold right?

good question

[disneyobsessed808]

Also 9 inch is still the same mold right?

Hope we get more pictures soon.

The 9" have been transitioning to a new mold, so I'm guessing that the 9" in this series will also be similar to these new molds (no lines/buttons, etc)

[BrittLee]

I'm so incredibly excited for this set! The chaser sounds amazing and some of the characters I never thought I'd get to see on vinyl (John Henry! Ahh!) are going to be awesome.

[mmmPIZZA]

It a nice series but I need to see it first. Not pleased about Kim Possible in it though and i've never heard of John Henry :lol:

[wildHoney]

[vinylcreation]

Yep. Kim Possible is fat. :doh:

[HawkeyeVinyl]

Yep. Kim Possible is fat. :doh:

yep, hard to get around that one (Literally http://www.fuduntu.org/forum/images/smilies/user83559_pic43268_1255723460.gif). Get it? Cause she's fat.

[mmmPIZZA]

I like them better now I've seen the designs and Kim Possible is not that bad. Tinker Bell looks fat and I love the green duck with the hat. Can't wait to see the chaser

[wonderland]

Although not crazy about Kim Possible, I think I like most of the set more and more. I can't wait to see the chaser too.

[HawkeyeVinyl]

Posted this in the Florida project thread, but I'll post it here in the actual thread too. Why are P7 Tink and A2 Tink virtually identical? They'll be out at the same time and they're almost the same exact vinyl.

http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss239/abuzzell/Tink.jpg

Just seems like a wasted spot in a series :shrug:

[Anders Limpar]

Theres only two of these that are must haves for me: Dopey and Jiminy.

[Rust This World]

9" Maleficent Dragon has a chance to be amazing, but also an equal chance to be terrible. If it's designed by one of the creative designers like Oscar Mendez and does something interesting with the dragon shape, it will be great. If someone like Thomas Scott does it and just stretches her out onto the mickey shape so that she's just fat and standing upright, it will be awful. I'm praying it's also not on the new 9" mold.

John Henry is going to be the trade box fodder of this series for many people.

[stitch1085]

Haha I think it's great that Rust This World just called out Thomas Scott for his lack of creativity when it comes to designing GOOD character Vinylmation designs.

[Rust This World]

Haha I think it's great that Rust This World just called out Thomas Scott for his lack of creativity when it comes to designing GOOD character Vinylmation designs.

I like some of his urban designs, but most of his characters are just the character stretched onto the mickey mold standing on 2 legs.

[turdimation]

interesting that they're releasing dopey in this set and also in the snow white mini series.

[DimMak]

Im kinda disappointed with this series #2, only a few look interesting like Tigger, Baloo, and Chicken Little

[bartyboy]

Panchito is probably my favorite of these. Now bring on Jose.

[Wheezy]

Most of these look alright, but I'm scared Kim is gonna find a home at trade boxes...

At least John Henry comes with a hammer which is neat I guess.

[ohyesitsmarc]

Kim Possible is really random to me in this series. I really want Tigger and Baloo :)!

[vinylcreation]

yep, hard to get around that one (Literally http://www.fuduntu.org/forum/images/smilies/user83559_pic43268_1255723460.gif). Get it? Cause she's fat.

:doh:

Actually, I think John Henry translated really well onto the Vinyl canvas. But, there's only a couple I'm going to want in this series.

[TSSD]

KP is bad, Tinks okay, but not good, way too much like P7 Tink. I dunno why, but I like John Henry. Love Tigger and Dopey, and surprised I like Chicken Little. I love the detail in the right ear especially, with the piece of sky missing.

[Wheezy]

Tigger, Jose, and Donald for me. I might keep John Henry (hammer's cool at least), Flower, or Chicken Little if they look better in person.

[schwanzie]

really, really looking forward to the chaser. could do without kim possible.

[mmmPIZZA]

I think the Chaser is the Headless Horseman with his pumpkin head to hold in his hand. That would be cool

[Rust This World]

Panchito is probably my favorite of these. Now bring on Jose.

That is Jose, Panchito is the red bird. But I agree, you can't only have one of the Caballeros.

[WonderlandFan]

Kim just looks awful, possible trade box worthy. i have a feeling too john henry will be the same as more casual or younger disney fans wont know who he is

really looking forward to donald, baloo, jose , flower(which would look better on the old mold with the nose), tigger, the chaser, john henry, and chicken little looks pretty sweet

ones like tink and for me the dopey one just show that the new mold isnt great, the bottom half of their faces look way too fat, the dopey one isnt that bad but something about it looks odd with the top of his head with that straight on view

[Wheezy]

I'm scared of seeing a big pile of Kim in trade boxes already...

I still think Rufus would have been better.

[Plu9530]

Yeah, this sequel series isn't as interesting as the first. Seeing the figures on display at the Florida Project yesterday, Jose, maybe Sebastian or John Henry, and Jiminy (dang it, now I have to hope the A2 combo topper sets aren't a sell-out at the parks), have better designs & figures I'm interested in. Though Flower, Dopey and Chicken Little are well translated to the figure too... Pudgy KP, not so much.

But really, two pudgy Tinker Bells from two series being released at the same time? Does the DDG expect her to be a HTF figure? It is unusual.

[Nirvinyl]

Liking the look of most of these (not a fan of Baloo, John Henry or KP), and I think the 9" have the potential to be really cool (Gepetto should fit the 9" mold perfectly plus Roger Rabbit and Maleficent Dragon have a lot of potential)... Really looking forward to these!

[MsDisneyFan]

I think I'm most excited for Jiminy and Dopey out of this series. I thought Sebastian was going to be a must have, but the pictures I've seen of him so far really leave a lot to be desired.

[Nirvinyl]

Yeah, I was a little disappointed by Sebastian too, but I think my love for him as a character still makes him one of the ones I'm looking forward to getting... but I agree about Jiminy - he is the definite star of this series in my mind! Surprised it took them this long to make him a vinylmation...

[bartyboy]

That is Jose, Panchito is the red bird. But I agree, you can't only have one of the Caballeros.

[SirScott99]

I think Jose, Jiminy and Flower look the best. I think Dopey, Sebastian and Baloo look terrible (especially the first 2 because the new mold makes them look fat)

[Rust This World]

The weird grey highlights on John Henry look really bad.

[Jango_Fresh]

I love they gave John Henry his hammer, but can't wait to see Roger!

[Wheezy]

I bet they'll reuse the hamme for Vinylmation Thor in the future!

Balloo's face should have been bigger.

[boochamp]

I don't get the green ears on Jimminy. I think they should be clear instead of green. Just looks weird.
FANTASIA DONALD?!?!?! YES!!! And the chaser???? SWEET!
The rest? M'eh.

[mmmPIZZA]

I don't like the tigger one. Looks horrible and i'm not really a big fan of the Winnie The Pooh charaters

[ragdoll246]

I can't help it...Tink looks a bit odd being short and fat.:look:

[goolizap]

I can't help it...Tink looks a bit odd being short and fat.

....it's the new mold :S

"HI, I'M TINKERBELL! GIMME YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE!"

[jenbeat1]

I'm so happy Tigger is in this series! He's one of my favorite characters!

[sweettasha]

To be honest, I was picture A2 differently...Not a BIG fan of the new mold too. But Jiminy Cricket, Flower, Dopey, and Jose are must haves and very cute:thumbsup:

[DimMak]

I can't help it...Tink looks a bit odd being short and fat.:look:

give it up to new mold. my goodness, if a princess collection has a series, and they all look the way Tink and Kim Possible look? ouch

[SirScott99]

I actually don't think Kim Possible looks all that terrible. Now that's of course only going by the concept art on the flat, but I'm sure she will look the same as Tinkerbell

[schwanzie]

give it up to new mold. my goodness, if a princess collection has a series, and they all look the way Tink and Kim Possible look? ouch

they would probably look that way. :(

[Wheezy]

I feel like the vinylmation mold only works with humans with bulkier rounder body frames than thin or fit. They just end up looking like comical chubby caricatures.

Tinker Bell in Park 7 looks fat too. And what does everyone mean by new mold?

[Wheezy]

Well they changed molds recently and it's much smoother and has less sculpted features compared to the original (nose, pants, and buttons are now gone). The feet can now come off for some reason too.

[HawkeyeVinyl]

Tinker Bell in Park 7 looks fat too. And what does everyone mean by new mold?

This picture shows the difference. Figment is "old mold", New York is "new mold".

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-V_RciaZfEfw/ThvVyT53_sI/AAAAAAAAC-Y/ALohQx1qHXo/s1152/IMAG0629.jpg

Less sculpted, no lines, flatter face, removable feet, more sculpted "accessory hand", etc. There's a thread about it if someone could link it (running out of computer time here :lol:). The thread is called "Modified Mold for 3 inch" or something like that.

[Billabongi]

We won't see a picture of the chaser until someone gets one and takes a pic right?

[Story]

We won't see a picture of the chaser until someone gets one and takes a pic right?

Probably not- unless Disney releases the pics in the vault :)


I love Jiminy Cricket! :love: He's a must have to be with my Pinocchio and Monstro! :happy:

[HawkeyeVinyl]

And what does everyone mean by new mold?Here's the old mold/new mold discussion thread: http://vinylnation.net/forums/showthread.php?17858-Modified-Mold-for-the-3-inch-Vinylmations&highlight=modified+mold

[Mr. Plow]

It would be funny if the chaser was on the old mold.

[Rescue Ranger]

Tigger
Dopey
Sebastian
Flower
Jose
Jiminy
Baloo

For sure!!!

Chaser, sounds awesome!!!!

Tink, only if I prefer it over Park 7.

Chicken Little, Kim Possible(odd choice) and John Henry do not interest me whatsoever.

Gepetto, only interested in 3"

Roger Rabbit 9"…I REALLY want, however, not without Jessica. Should have been a 9/3 combo with Roger being the 3".

Humphrey/Ranger…no need for a 9", but would have got them both if in 3"

Maleficent Dragon + Phillip 9"/3"…very interested to see this, maybe.

Overall, not bad some really good ones, could be better though. Not the most exciting.

[Prolif1k]

I was really excited to see these in person at the Florida Project. I really think the new mold has been making some of these figures really shine more than they could've before.

My personal favorite was Sebastian.

[Wheezy]

I hope we see more preview pics in the future. I originally thought Sebastian would be escaping from a cooking pot or something.

[Anders Limpar]

Probably not- unless Disney releases the pics in the vault :)

that would be cute!

[Mr. Plow]

I actually don't like the chaser in the series, I don't think it belongs with this series. I think the character would be better served in the park or urban series.

[SirScott99]

I actually don't like the chaser in the series, I don't think it belongs with this series. I think the character would be better served in the park or urban series.

WHy do you say that? Urban are usually things that have NOTHING to do with the parks.... with the exception of: U2 Ice Cream, U5 Chaser and Paint Drip (as it's actually Mickey) and Park series have to do with things that are actually in the parks. I think the Headless Horseman works perfectly for an Animation series. He wouldn't work anywhere else. Besides the Halloween Parade, the Headless Horseman is nowhere in any Disney park. It makes no sense to put him in a Park or Urban series

I said earlier that he should be in the Villains series. There is a Sleepy Hollow refreshments in Liberty Square but I agree he either should be in the animation or villains series.

I see the animated series as characters that represent disney animation, the headless horseman is more an iconic character in history and pop culture and transcends disney animation. It's not if disney made it their own like they did robin hood. Characters such as the headless horseman and john henry are more iconic characters in pop culture and history rather than disney animation, and best serve in series that reflects that like in the urban series.

[mmmPIZZA]

He could of been in the Villians #2 (if there will be one) He will still make a nice chaser :)

I see the animated series as characters that represent disney animation, the headless horseman is more an iconic character in history and pop culture and transcends disney animation. It's not if disney made it their own like they did robin hood. Characters such as the headless horseman and john henry are more iconic characters in pop culture and history rather than disney animation, and best serve in series that reflects that like in the urban series.

How does he represent pop culture? I know that the Urban series is a sort of "pop culture" representation but Urban series is not the place for any type of Disney character. So then if we're going by what you're thought process is, then Disney should have put a Little Mermaid character in an Urban series because it started the new wave of amazing Disney movies back in the early 90's. Or Beauty and the Beast because it was the first animated picture to be nominated for Best Picture. I also think the reason why Disney is making the Animation series is because the characters don't have a place in the Park series or their own movie series (i.e Lion King, Alice). They could work in Park but I think they want to do that sparringly because there are so many characters roaming the parks they want to leave the "Park Series" for attractions or park icons like Cinderella Castle or Spaceship Earth

Um, you can argue the same thing that Robin Hood is a more iconic character in pop culture and history rather than Disney animation.

The headless horseman is totally a figure of pop culture he is always referenced in movies, television and even urban folklore, before disney animation. Many don't even associate Disney with the headless horseman. While beauty and the beast and little mermaid go hand in hand with disney, when you think of either of those two you think disney first. Disney did a straight forward adaptation of sleepy hollow a classic story on its own, they did nothing to separate disney's version with the classic, while with beauty and the beast disney put their own spin on it with unique characters and addition to they story making it a totally different entity than that of the classic story. You can also put him in the park series, as well as villains.

Yes, but they would be using the animal version of robin hood, where robin hood is portrayed by a fox, which is unique to disney animation.

Pretty sweet for a chaser. Although I wouldn't mind.......

Christopher Walken is always welcome in my collection.

[andrewgwheels]

I am really loking forward to the John Henry and the variant, and of course Chicken Little! =D

[futileeternity]

I really love this entire series. Tigger is the big must for me. I mean, my kitty is an orange tabby named Tigger! I kind of have an attachment to him. :)

[Tinker]

How exciting :) Although I must say I prefer Animation 1. I have series 1 but doubt I will bother with this series. Here's my thoughts incase anyones bothered...!

• Tigger - Love this!

• Fantasia 2000 Donald (Plus variant) - I think this should have been another Fantasia character, I've already seen too many similar Donald vinyls.

• Tinker Bell - Like this but aren't there already 2 other Tinkerbell vinyls out there!?

• Dopey - Love this!

• Kim Possible - Not too keen on this at all.

• Sebastian - Love this!

• Baloo - Love this!

• Flower - Love this!

• Chicken Little - Quite like this...

• Jose (with hat attachment) - Love the look of this, although I have to admit I'm not very familiar with the character.

• John Henry (Shirtless variant) - No like.

• Headless Horseman (Chaser) - Sounds awesome but definitely shouldn't be an ANIMATION chaser in my honest opinion.

• Jiminy Cricket (Combo Topper) - Love this and only wish it was part of the main set - I don't think we get toppers in the UK either :(

[Eeyore1324]

I love the characters they picked for this series but they look a little funny to me. I'm sure once I see them in person I'll be sold on buying them all. I am sooo excited for their choice in chaser! Hopefully we won't get hit with several releases within a months span...lots of saving to do until then.

[mmmPIZZA]

I can't wait for the 9"s to be shown. I'm hoping for Big Cheaf from Peter Pan with a 3" TigerLilly, 9" Stitch and a 9" Wilbur Robinson (Meet the Robinsons).

You just made me imagine Vinylmation Christoper Walken: Series 1, mostly consisting of his various SNL characters. Imagine how fun that would be! haha

Needs cowbell and sunglasses, a bowtie for his character from Click, Max from Batman, Headless Mercenary from Sleepy Hollow. Would buy them all.

[obiwanjacoby]

Looks like October will be a busy month for releases. After comparing this to Villains 2 i think I like this one more as a whole.

[Samjive]

I cannot wait to see the chaser. I am a HUGE headless horseman/sleepy hollow fan. :love:
The only other ones I want are Tigger and Donald but I HAVE TO GET THE CHASER! :happy:

[crazybones27]

I don't know if I've said it yet in here but I MUST have Tigger!!!!

[Samjive]

I don't know if I've said it yet in here but I MUST have Tigger!!!!

This made me smile when I read it. I would have been surprised if you DIDN'T get it. :lol:

[SirScott99]

I don't know if I've said it yet in here but I MUST have Tigger!!!!

And I would have thought Tigger was the only one you didn't want :lol:

[Chuggaaconroy]

I actually like the new mold, but I really wish the new mold didn't have funky looking hands, while the original mold had identical thumb lengths, the new mold looks like it wouldn't if the gripped hand thumb was straightened, am I the only one who thinks this?

I want a Kim Possible vinyl, she's hooooot :thumbsup:, but she might turn out fat like Florida Minnie. :doh:

Jiminy Cricket is ftw, new mold or original mold. :happy:

I don't mind another Tinkerbell, this is just the normal counterpart to the glitter infested winking Tinkerbell in Park 7, I still want both though. :lol:

John Henry will definitely be the next trade box flooder, but I'll definitely keep his hammer if I get a repeat of him. :lol:

Ugh, I am having to try REALLY HARD to stay away from this Animation series :-(.

It's becoming more and more difficult but I must resist, even though I know it's futile!

[Plu9530]

So is it really true that the chaser's the Headless Horseman? It's a nice choice but it might be more appropriate for the Villains series...

[HawkeyeVinyl]

That's what I thought, but I'm not going to complain because it sounds AMAZING :clap:

[pj_campbell]

I thought Horsemen would be better for the Villains series as well, but I'm not going to complain since we're getting him altogether. I can't wait! :D

[schwanzie]

i just can't wait to see how they do the headless horseman. i'm trying to picture it, but you never know with them.

[Phylers]

I have to say, I love, love, LOVE the inclusion of John Henry and the Headless Horseman. :clap:

I never felt any attachment to the Disney Afternoon cartoons (I think I was aging out of the demographic by then), but the Disney cartoons of my youth were the likes of Paul Bunyan, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Pecos Bill, Casey at the Bat (still a favorite), and the like. It's nice to see some appreciation for the classics. :thumbsup:

Since it's stuck in my head, I'm now off to listen to the song from Paauuuul Bunyan (Paul Bunyan). :lol:

[vinylnewbie]

I am looking forward to this release! Tigger is too cute and I cannot wait for the Roger Rabbit 9", it was one of my favorite movies as a kid!

Yes! I hope they do him justice! I am interested to see how he translates onto the vinyl form, it would be even better if they can incorporate a bit of Jessica Rabbit and Benny on there somehow.

Don't get your hopes up people. Let's not turn this into a wish for ghost musafa XP As awesome as it would be if they actually used the Mickey's AS 3-d canvases that probably won't happen with a series like Animation. Still can't wait to see what the 9"s look like. I'll probably get them all this time. I only have Merlin for series 1.

I remember watching the Disney Channel when it first went on the air. Loved watching those classic cartoons (Pecos Bill was a favorite of mine), as well as the traditional Disney character ones as well. Kids these days just don't know what they're missing.

[HawkeyeVinyl]

Ugh, today's kids' programming just makes me sad. No classic Disney afternoon, ninja turtles, x-men, spiderman, etc.... It's an epidemic

This. Though The Hub has gotten better. The new My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is great, as is the new Pound Puppies, plus I've heard good things about their new Transformers cartoon. Plus, they've started playing the old Jem :lol:

[jmp]

Boomerang channel is pretty great for classic cartoons. Lot's of Huckleberry Hound, Johnny Quest, and other Hannah Barbera. It fills the void for 60's and 70's programming pretty nicely.

[APvinyl]

Really looking forward to see how Tigger, Donald and Headless Horsemen come out. Those two and the Jiminy Crickett topper and Jose are the ones we're most interested. Also excited to see the Maleficient Dragon/ Phillip combo, Malefiecient is one of my favorite villains and her in dragon form would be epic, and my name is Philip too hahaha.

[Duck]

The only two I have to have is Dopey and Tigger. They both look amazing! That being said I wouldnt mind getting any of these besides maybe the kim possible one. I never really could stand that show as a kid

[HawkeyeVinyl]

Yeah, I am annoyed she's in there. Everyone's like "well she had a movie"... Yes, but it was based on the TV Show. It wasn't an original Disney Animated movie like Bambi, Dumbo, Aladdin, etc. It was basically an hour-and-a-half long episode of the show. Oh well, the rest of the set is great

Because that's what every vinyls in the first series was and every other figure in this series. It's what set it apart from the Disney afternoon series, have a laugh, etc. Otherwise I feel like there is no theme, its just anything a Disney animator has drawn. I guess I'm just being picky :shrug:

:pet: I think Kim Possible is fine with being in the series. It is an animation cartoon after all. I wouldn't mind seeing other cartoons like this pop up in the animation series also(don't ask for examples). Just stop and think for a second if they wanted to do a Kim Possible vinyl what series would it fit in? Animation is the only one that makes sense. Plus since Kim Possible is big with kids now it only makes sense to put her in a series now then later. :)

I could see her in a Park series, given her Epcot missions. I like that she's in there, but lets just hope this doesn't open the door to them adding in vinyls for that silly "fish hooks" show that's on now... :rolleyes:

Yeah I think that's to new, but I can see if they put Phineas and Ferb in the animation. This is where these shows would make sense to me. I don't think I'd like Kim to be in the park series. I can see them changing the name later on when her fan base dies down. :)

There was a comment on making a Disney TV series in the "Disney Afternoon" thread, and that would be perfect for Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb, etc. I don't mind Kim Possible as a show, and while I don't like Phineas and Ferb (no kids), I get that it's a popular show; I just think it's odd to include them in what has been solidified as a full-length movie animation series. Even all the 9" in Animation 1 fit this theme. I am seeing now that I'm in the minority on this
(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/survivor-smiley.gif?1292867683)
, I just don't think it fits the theme. But what can ya do, it's already in the series :lol:

I would agree with you that Animation series was solidified as only movies, but we've only had one series so far. We can't really say it's solidified that way after only one series :). They may have used the figures in series one to appeal to people and get them in to the series. Now that they have our attention they can move on to their plans and such :).

Ahhh bait and switch. I don't like it!!! http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/tantrum-smiley.gif?1292867686

I guess I felt that 19 figures all in full-length movies (23 if you count variants) was enough to solidify the theme of the series, but to each his/her own! I definitely get why they put her in and I'm not going to write any strongly worded letters or anything, but personally, I just feel like she doesn't fit :shrug:

[crazybones27]

Ahhh bait and switch. I don't like it!!! http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/tantrum-smiley.gif?1292867686

Very true. Cutesters Like You was like a knife in the heart :rofl:

[mcdjjpsmooth]

I will do something that may seem crazy, but I will defend Kim Possible being in the set. Do I like the figure, not entirely. But I can see where they were coming from including it.
The big reason why I do think she can fit can be found in the Vinyl series itself. A big complaint I've read is that "she was never in an Disney Animated Film." Okay fair enough, but what about Roger Rabbit, Pete and Elliot and John Henry. Roger Rabbit, while being in an animated film, wasn't done by Disney. It was done by Touchstone and even included Warner Brothers character. Pete isn't even an animated character and he made it in a 9"/3" combo pack. And his movie isn't even in the "Disney Animated Studios" release chronology. Disney movie yes, but not in the chronology which everyone was nit-picking about. And John Henry was based off an animated short that was eventually released on DVD as a compilation pack in vein of Melody Time or Make Music Mine. But unlike those, this was also not in the chronology.
So while I'm not a fan of the Kim Possible figure, it does make sense. If they can release figures that aren't even animated characters in an animation set, why not some television characters?

[mickiethepumpkin]

For me when I said it didn't make sense because she's not from a Disney Animated Film I didn't even mean that it had to be Disney. I was just trying to say, Kim P. stuck out as the more obvious one that's not really apart of Animation Feature Films. The older characters work because the term was much more loosely defined several decades ago. Roger Rabbit may not have technically been done by Disney Animation Studios, but they do have the marketing rights now and a lot of people consider it as a staple in animation films.

[DimMak]

John Henry will definitely be the next trade box flooder, but I'll definitely keep his hammer if I get a repeat of him. :lol:

agreed. i did the same with the pirates i picked thru trades, i took the hats and traded them back. and if they ever do release a marvel series, Thor's hammer accessory better not be an exact replica of Henry's

[Nuinavar]

The more I look at this set, the more I think that I'm done collecting. They all look awful.

Me too. I liked it at first, but of the ones we've seen in actual form, I only like Jiminy and Jose. I'll have to see tigger and chicken little in vinyl form to decide on them, and of course the chaser sounds amazing. So I'll go for a max of 5 with the combo topper. The rest just aren't for me

Agreed on Jose and maybe even Sebastian too, just for the claws. So that would be Jiminy, Jose, Sebastian and whatever the chaser may be. Well, unless it's underwhelming or fugly, then I'd choose Donald.

Agreed. Animation 1 was okay, but a lot of the characters didn't really speak to me. Jose Carioca and John Henry alone are enough to get me interested in Animation 2, and it's great to see characters like Flower, Tigger, and Chicken Little getting the 3" treatment. Add in what sounds like an awesome chaser, and this series is pretty exciting. :thumbsup:

Granted, it would be more exciting if it had all three Caballeros, but ce la vie. We must wait. :pout:

[HawkeyeVinyl]

I would love a 2-pack companion to the animation set with the other two. Then you could get that and blind box Jose to have all three! They won't do that, but it would be awesome :)

I think that Series 1 had too many "expected" designs. Series 2 gets away from that in a good way, and gives us some pleasantly suprising Characters.

:pout: I wish all 3 Caballeros were in this series also, but it just makes us pine for the next set to see if they will indulge our desire to complete the trio. :pray:

[LindsayinNJ]

I wonder what the combo topper will be... I'd love to see a Lady VM!

Why the dissapointment? I think this set is better than the first.

I liked the first one and bought a case! The chaser was eh to me, but I liked all the characters. This set I am only interested in the chaser, Flower and Tink. Not enough for me to buy any.

Tigger -- not a Winnie The Pooh fan. (I know, sacrilege)
Donald -- cute
Tink -- cute
Dopey -- not my favorite but I don't mind it
Kim Possible -- never seen the show, not into the character at all
Sebastian -- I LOVE collecting The Little Mermaid stuff and this is such a disappointing design to me. Looks horrible! Ugh!
Baloo -- eh
Flower -- cute
Chicken Little -- UGH don't like the character, no attachment to it
3 Caballeros -- cute but eh
John Henry -- no, also sort of looks like Lando (NOT bc he's black but outfit design, etc)
Love the chaser.

I wonder what the combo topper will be... I'd love to see a Lady VM!

While I agree it would be nice to see vinyl love for Lady and the Tramp, Jiminy Cricket is the topper for this set.

From the first post:


Jiminy Cricket (Combo Topper)

[LindsayinNJ]

haha, RIGHT after I posted that, I looked at the first page and saw the combo topper. I forgot all the info was released for this set. Can't WAIT for Roger Rabbit 9"!!! I will DIE if there's a future Jessica Rabbit VM.

[imppy25rs]

While the series doesn't excite me too much, the 9" vinyls in here sound great and probably must haves for me

[Rust This World]

Why the dissapointment? I think this set is better than the first.

For me personally it's either that the characters don't excite me or the designs are mediocre and don't do the characters justice. Jose and the chaser are the only ones that interest me. Most of the others looks stretched and fat or are just characters I don't care about at all. There are some that are decent designs like Tigger and Flower, but they're predictable and don't blow me away. To me, it's a totally forgettable set. There's just nothing exciting about the designs of any of the figures except Jose with the hat and the stars in the ears.

It's just a generic middle-of-the-road C-grade vinylmation series. It doesn't suck, but it's not outstanding in any way. I love being surprised by a cool design like the brain-scan thing on the back of the new Runaway Brain Mickey, or the Donald in the Tuba in park 7, or even the fish in the ears of Lew Zealand. There's nothing like that in this series. I just think, "yep, that exactly what a generic average Tigger vinylmation would look like."

Lets just say alot of them look fat :lol:

Well what would you expect tigger to look like?

[Rust This World]

Well what would you expect tigger to look like?

They could do something more creative like give him an interesting facial expression or paint his body smaller like the Aqua Duck Donald and have him springing on his tail. That would have given it a "wow factor". As it is, it's just pretty mediocre and boring. I guess I've been spoiled by a bunch of recent really creative designs that this series just seems so repetitive and dull.

I don't think that every series needs to blow everyone away. There are many designs in each series that speak to someone and will be loved.

This may not end up being the only Tigger long term. I'm fine with this "regular" one now and then a different one later. There are multiples of other characters out there (Mickey, Tink, etc). Maybe they'' do a Pooh set/series later :shrug:

[Samjive]

Maybe they'' do a Pooh set/series later

I would love it if they did a Pooh Series. I kinda like this Tigger, but a bouncing one would be neat as well. The Tigger and chaser are the only two I will probably be getting form the set, though Sebastian and Donald are pretty neat as well.

[Rust This World]

I'm sure there are plenty of people who are will love Tigger, but someone was asking why some people are disappointed and my personal disappointment comes from the fact that I think none of the designs are inspired except for 1 or 2. There have been so many series that do blow me away lately like Robots, Lion King, Villains 2, and Park 7, that a "just average" series is disappointing personally.

They should do a Pooh series, there's enough characters to flesh out a whole series and the original Pooh and Piglet could be done so much better. I'd love to get an Owl.

:agree: That series would sell like Crazy

[HawkeyeVinyl]

[in reference to the Tigger vinyl] or paint his body smaller like the Aqua Duck Donald and have him springing on his tail.

That would have been AMAZING!!! I have an Aquaduck coming in the mail and I can't wait to get it. I LOVE how Maria did the figure with his feet up and water for the feet. So creative.


That series would sell like Crazy

:agree: they wouldn't be able to keep it on the shelf!!! Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, Christopher Robin, Kanga, Roo, Gopher, Heffalump, Woozle. Done.

[lakerguy5]

Any word on the quantities of the 9"? I don't have any yet but Roger Rabbit might just be my first if I canfind one.

[rogpalmeruk]

I like the look of this series, only 1 doesn't look that great (the one with the hammer) its a shame jimmy isnt included and tigger looks good. Wish I could get the roger rabbit..also when's this set Out?

[****mia****]

I'm sure i read somewhere it would be December.

I really like this set, i have yet to complete the 1st animation set, but now i want this one.

I do agree i would love a winnie pooh series.

Mia

[Phylers]

..also when's this set Out?


I'm sure i read somewhere it would be December.

Correct. :thumbsup: From the first post:


Animation Series #2 is expected in December of this year.


... its a shame jimmy isnt included ...

If you mean Jiminy Cricket, he is part of the set - he's the combo topper. :thumbsup:

Is there a Jimmy I'm not thinking of? :shrug:

[GOOF33]

really excited for this set to come out, especially the 9". Really enjoyed the moving Who framed Rodger Rabbit so excited to see his design & also looking forward to the 9"/3" combo Maleficent dragon, hopping to be dark and scary!

[Usagi]

Oh wow for KP!! My boyfriend will want her. He loves that cartoon. he got his daughter into it! NAKE MOLE RAP!! lol

I can't wait for Roger Rabbit. I may have to sneak that one in for a Christmas gift if I can't buy him the Darkwing set at an affordable price.

[Rescue Ranger]

Does Jiminy Cricket not inckude his Umbrella? :yikes:

If so, thats just as bad as Hook without a Hook or Hat and Scrooge without his Cane or a Carl without his Tennis Ball Walker.

And still not interested in a 9" Roger Rabbit, its too bad they didn't do a 9" Jessica with a 3" Roger, would have been PERFECT!!!

So far, I only want:

• Dopey
• Sebastian
• Flower
• Jose (with hat attachment)
• Headless Horseman (Chaser)
• Jiminy Cricket (Combo Topper)
• Maleficent Dragon + Phillip 9”/3

The others are either too boring of a design or do not interest me. Overall not at all a very creative series here. Like Tigger, I'm sure we will get a better one eventually. Even Flower is a little boring for me, so I dunno. Flower should have had some I dunno, flowers in there somewhere, be it the ears or what not. Jiminy Cricket I'm on the fence if he has no umbrella....

[****mia****]

is there any pictures of the 9" pieces yet?

[Dunkpunk123]

beyond excited for this set. Everyone is good but yes the lack of design is certainly there. but none the less awesome lineup.

[tenuviel]

I really want the Fantasia Donald to go with my Fantasia obsession :)

[StevenFord299]

A few of these ones will be cool, but I won't look to collect the whole set thats for sure

[KAZ2Y5]

Animation S1 was sold in Disney Stores, anyone know if Animation S2 will be too, or is this series being pulled from stores like Urbans? Just wondering how hard it will be for me to get my hands on Donald and Sebastian.

[Anders Limpar]

Looks like Jiminy Cricket will be my first combo topper.

[ragdoll246]

I wonder when this comes out! Due to recent series coming out and my money going towards them I need to save up again :lol:

[Carol]

Supposed to be December but I don't think anyone knows the exact date yet.

[alugjk]

December? Great, ANOTHER series I need to purchase so soon! :-)
-George

[Usagi]

It's official, we are breaking our 9" rule for Roger Rabbit. The boyfriend and I want KP, Flower, Jose, Fantasia Donal, and of course the chaser. Now to find case splitters!

[NeutralNovice]

It looks like I am going to have to start another collection LOL.. These look great! Especially Dopey & Jiminy Cricket

[colouredvinyls]

Jiminy Cricket!! He's definitely number one on my hunt list when this series comes out. Flower looks adorable and chaser really sounds fantastic!

[hanguk9117]

Does anyone know if this will be a Disney Store release or a WDW/DLR/DStreet release?

[kraut24]

This is a must own series for the chaser alone .. Give me Icabod to go with it... Must have Donald ... Anything Donald

[Phylers]

Does anyone know if this will be a Disney Store release or a WDW/DLR/DStreet release?

They'll definitely be a parks release, but as Animation 1 made it to Disney Stores, it's certainly possible these will too. :thumbsup:

Since they're due out next month, I'm sure we'll get definitive word soon. :D

[hanguk9117]

Sweet, thanks!! =)

[MaraJade]

Are their pictures of the Maleficent Dragon yet? The thought intrigues me, especially with a 3 inch Phillip.

[Super-Swiss]

Like the designs.... hating that new mold!!! I guess its a good thing, the new mold... it's saved my wallet a lot of money!!!

[hyenaqueen]

BALOO
ALL OF MY WANT
SO CUTE

[IndianaJonez24]

This will be a good series, a few I don't like. I don't like that Park 7 and Animation 2 both have Tinkerbell. Chaser and Topper should be cool.

[mugirl0307]

I actually think I prefer this set to the first one. Maybe because more of the designs are animal characters and I thought they looked a lot better (especially on the old mold). The Jiminy topper is too cute!

[BrittLee]

The Jiminy topper is too cute!

I agree, Jiminy looks absolutely precious and I don't know if he would have been quite as cute on the old mold. He needs to hang out with my Pop! Vinyl Jiminy.

[Batistuta]

Are these still coming out in December? Where's the best place to find release dates, the official Vinylmation blog?

[Phylers]

Actually, you're looking in about the best place to find release dates. :lol:

As soon as we have any info, someone will be sure to post any updates concerning the release right here. :thumbsup:

[stephwsc]

I've been looking for any pictures of Tink besides the concept art but can't find any... does anyone know if pictures of her have been released at all?

[Bellygrub]

I don't think they've shown her yet. She doesn't seem to have been on display at TFP.

[disneyobsessed808]

i think you can just imagine the park 7 tinkerbell, just not glittery and with no winking :lol:

[Rudebwoy]

This may be my first case that i purchase :). Looking forward to it.

[jdicamillo26]

I really want Sebastian. Hopefully he looks better in person than the pics I have seen.

[bashful]

I'm getting more and more excited about this series! I might have to bug Crabby Duck to split a tray with me :lol:

[mmmPIZZA]

I'm sure he will my friend for this is a series worth sharing :)

[Taylormade]

Looking forward to series 2.
Was not a big fan of the Chasers in Series 1.
What is everyone's thoughts on that?

[Domino4697]

Will we be able to buy the entire case online when the seires comes out?

[bashful]

Looking forward to series 2.
Was not a big fan of the Chasers in Series 1.
What is everyone's thoughts on that?

I wasn't a fan of the chaser from Animation 1. It seemed like the large quantity of chaser variants made headlines for the series. From the sounds of it, this chaser is quite promising!

[psu4glory]

definitely looking forward to this set, too...i like the character choices and details a lot better than A1...i'm leaving WED to head to WDW for 8 days, and kind of disappointed that they're (apparently) not going to be released prior to us coming home. i plan to buy a case of P7 while down there, and hope to trade my extra set for someone's extra A2 set...here's hoping!

[redtop]

When is this set coming out?

[shensim]

I thought it was 12-5. Guess I was dreaming.
