VinylNation Blog Article: Inside the Park: Penny Machine

[Sledge]

By Lintman (http://vinylnation.net/blog/author/lintman/)

Anyone that walks down Main Street, U.S.A. steps back in time. With the Omnibus, Fire Engine, and Horse-Drawn Streetcar you get a look at past forms of transportation. If you venture around you will find a past form of entertainment, the mutoscope, that is the inspiration for the Penny Machine Vinylmation. This figure was released with Park Series 2 on May 22, 2009. What is a mutoscope and where can you find them?

Another great and informative article lintman :clap:

Like mama, it's one of my favorite treasures from the early Park series.

Lintman, love the article! The background research you for the design and the story behind is so impressive! I absolutely love Penny Arcade for the reasons you brought out in your article too:


This design is an incredible example of translating a design onto the Mickey canvas and truly representing the subject without simply recreating it


It was one of those designs I really underestimated at first, and soon found myself quickly trying to find one as my collection didn't seem complete without it :love:

Looking forward to more of your writings! :clap:
