Pop Vinyls by Funko

[Sledge]

Disney Living has announced a special sweepstakes on their Facebook page. Of special interest to Vinylmation fans is a set called Pop Vinylmation. You will notice that each figure is shaped like the character they represent, rather than the traditional Mickey Mouse shape.

Not much is known about this set just yet, but this is just one of several special new forms that will be released under the Vinylmation line. Also coming soon is a Duffy the Disney Bear shape.

Update: The naming on the calendar seems to be an error on the part of Disney Living. These are actually a product produced by Funko that is unrelated to Vinylmation. However, we have heard some rumors about something similar, though a little more abstract (and larger), that is in the works for the Vinylmation line. Stay tuned...

All the figures look cute! I wonder if these will be geared towards kids?

[HitchHikingGhostFangirl]

Interesting....


and....OMG they're adorable. I see Mike and Sulley so I'm happy even if they're more PAL than VM

[Chuggaaconroy]

Those look really adorable but they're not really Vinylmation if they don't follow the mickey mouse shape...

[SirScott99]

Pictures are too small for me to tell. I'm not sure how I feel about these new designs

[DLand]

If I can somehow get that Mike Wazowski...then I'm stoked!

[Conan]

They're nice and I'm all for Vinyls, but don't call them Vinylmation because they are not!

completely.

I guess this just means vinylmations will be the name for any toy Disney makes that's made of vinyl

[disneyobsessed808]

they are...interesting. i'm not really a fan of the disproportionate head/eyes to body ratio. i find them a little strange.

I love the look of the Pop Vinylmations, and I deff want to collect them, but they just arent Vinylmations, to me they look like a whole separate type of collectible.

If you squint your eyes real tight, they resemble Pook-a-Looz

[nickalew]

Idk how I feel about these odd shaped vinyl toys. To me they aren't vinylmation because they aren't on the mickey mold...

Because they're making the vinyls of the same designs that have already been put on the mickey mold, I foresee me not getting them...IMO it'd look really weird.

its like displaying this on my shelf:


next to this on the same shelf:


Idk if i'm just weird but that would look awkward. To each their own!

Blow-up of the date in question.

I suppose we'd heard that new shapes were coming, but I'm not personally intrigued. For the most part, they all look like jazzed up RoseArt figures to me.

That said, I don't really have a problem with Disney expanding their vinyl line (I do think these will sell very well to the tourist market, particularly to the younger demo), but I kind of wish they wouldn't call it "Vinylmation." I mean, Vinylmation as it is already qualifies as pop art. Why did it need to change to get that moniker?

All in all, I think I'm more worried about the new Mickey shape for the main line than these vinyl interlopers.

[wildHoney]

I wonder if these are these going to be like the regular vinylmation line as in blind boxes, set of 25 and chasers/variants. I'm definitely getting Mike and Sulley though <33

[RMThompson]

I wonder what SIZE they are. Hmmm

They're cute in their own funny looking way I'm looking foward to seeing these.

[Return_of_Phos]

Stitch, Mike & Sully are a must have for me.....and Maleficent

[Toad_Passenger]

They're kind of cool in their own way, but I wouldn't display them with the rest of my VM's, because, let's face it, they're not VM's. Stitch, Mal, & Tink are the must haves for me.

[jamesknight]

These aren't Vinylmation. These are from the company Funko, they make vinyl toys like Pop Heroes, Pop Rocks, and Pop Star Wars among other series. I'm not sure why they are labeled as Vinylmation on that calendar but this Pop Disney series was announced by Funko a long time ago.

Look up Funko and you will see the similarities in style with their other series.

After looking on their website, the whole series of Disney Pop is listed under their Pop Vinyl section under Disney Store

Pinochio cracks me up... looks like he is doing the Oompa Loompa dance LOL!
I'm afraid to like any (even though I do) because I don't need another addiction
Like everyone else said...you would think the marketing dept would come up with a better title than Pop Vinylmation>>> howabout Vinyl - looz.

[Ghost Host]

Yeah they aren't Vinylmations. They are Pop Vinyls. I think Disney Living made a mistake.

Although, I'd say that if they slapped the Vinylmation name on it, it wouldn't be a terrible idea. Sounds good for marketing reasons. As long as the figure is visible in the packaging, and they are, nobody could say they were confused. Good find though!

Stitch, Mike & Sully are a must have for me.....and Maleficent

I want a maleficent too, you can get me one of those too, Phos


I also like tinkerbell and cruella! But yes, calling them vinylmations is confusing

Ahh figured it had to be some sort of a mistake. The Disney Living people saw that they were vinyl toys and just assumed they were vinylmation.

....I still want most of them though
