Well the phantom manor and blizzard beach gator are attractive, possibly a dapper dan as well depending on how the final product looks but other than those I'm sadly not a fan of this set. Personally I feel that a lot of these designs are really stretching it. I mean are we really in need of a design based on an animal kingdom gift shop? You just know that's going to populate the trading boxes.
There's very few series I've had to have every single Vinyl in, unfortunately, this is not one of them.
In blackest day, in brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light
Let those who try to stop what's right,
Burn like my power... Sinestro's might!
Which design is based off an Animal Kingdom gift shop?Originally Posted by Brava_Centauri
I think they mean the bear from the Camp Minnie-Mickey sign.

That's what I thought, but actually I think that is a cool design. I think it is unrealistic to expect that someone is going to like every design in a particular series. I just collect the ones I like, I can't remember any series where I loved every design. In fact one of my favorite all time park designs was the Carousel of Progress Father, which I was in the minority since it was in every trade box imaginable for a while. To each their own.

There are usually one or two in the park sets that I don't really care for but I get them anyway because I want the whole set.
I really like the Camp Minnie-Mickey Bear. I think it shows that they can find some of the more obscure stuff from the parks too.

I think that one is my favorite in this set. I love the Animal Kingdom and think I'm going to have to add it to my mini collection of AK figures (Kali River Rapids, Primeval Whirl, and Safari jeep).
I absolutely adore that design, so perfect!
I'm actually really impressed with this series, I like it far more than I liked Park 8. There are quite a few of these I'll need to add to my collection!
If those pins are indeed what is going to be park series 9 I am def. going to have to get a full case. I love every one of them.
Can't remember if this was mentioned or not, but does anyone know what the color variants will be for the Dapper Dan figures?

As much as I love Dole Whip, I am supremely disappointed by the figure. The head looks like hair to me!
I'm not blown away by this one at all... it looks like some urban offshoot, i can barely work out what it is. The train I saw in the previous pic looks fab and I can't wait to get the Phantom Manor one.
Just found this pic....looks more like it
Well I'm glad I am not a Dole Whip lover, because that design is very blah. I agree with rogpalmeruk that it is very hard to make out what the design is suppsed to be. I think that if they added a container to the bottom it might make more sense.

I definitely think this design lacks detail that defines what it is. While I think the design itself isn't fantastic, I love Dole Whip and want this figure still.The Dole Whip, courtesy of an eBay dumpster diver:

I have to disagree with all of you. I love the design and will for sure be getting a couple of these, and actually the design resembles the dole whip float that you would get at Disneyland (with the umbrella and cherry) rather than the standard dole whip.
Interesting. Also, as a dumpster diver special, this may not include all of the detail as the final version.
Oh, and someone on Ebay has this listed as a 9" figure, but I don't see that anywhere else. Maybe they took Park 9 as the size instead of the series?
This! It looks like long, wavy hair! Which is kind of gross, all things considered. I like my ice cream hair-free.As much as I love Dole Whip, I am supremely disappointed by the figure. The head looks like hair to me!
Agreed, Personally, I'm hoping they do more with the shading to get it to actually look like ice cream. Granted, I guess there's not much you can do with a design that revolves around a normal serving of fruit-flavored soft-serve.
That is what I was going to say. It is a float for sure. The horizontal lines look like the rings in the clear cups they use. Plus you only get an umbrella in a float. I don't remember the cherry but I will take it.
I will wear my dole whip t-shirt while I am hunting for this figure. Why can't they be out this weekend?

I believe at the trade night they said park 9 will be released July 20th
Are you serious? Can't wait for Park Series 9! It's been so long ever since they released photos.I believe at the trade night they said park 9 will be released July 20th
i loved the concept of the dole whip but i'm not loving it now that i see it on the vinyl form. maybe i'll change my mind when i see it.
good. i need a break for my wallet. and summer is going to be a lean time for my paycheck!I believe at the trade night they said park 9 will be released July 20th
Glad it's July and not June. The break in between Park 8 and Park 9 has been a welcome one.
YEEEESSS!! I'll be in Disney World right after Park 9 comes out! This will be the first time sine I've started collecting Vinylmation that I'll be in the parks a little while after a release. Hooray!!
The skyway bucket is the only must have from this series for me.
