General Urban Series #9 Discussion

[mattandjulie]

I have to have the toaster! Love me some food vinyls! Sadly though, as the Urban series progresses, I find myself interested in fewer and fewer of them. I only have two U8s - Barricade because its cool, and Hot Dog because its a food vinyl. U4 was the best IMO and I wish the balance of high quality creative, abstract and character designs would return.

[JungleCruse]

Any word on a rumored release month?

That toaster is great, and would be even better if it had a design "cooked" onto the toast, like this:

Maybe toast with a Mickey head will be a variant??

What an excellent idea!

Urban 9 looks promising but sometimes I wish they still use the old mold.

I agree with that. I like the old mold so much more than the new one. The art on the new molds is really awesome which makes up for it.

Totally agree. I only have the barricade and raccoon from U8. What happened to all those good Mickey designs? I bet if we had something as simple as the U4 Tin mouse as the chaser for U9, we'd all over it.

So far not so impressed but I will wait for the rest of them to come out before i say Yay or Nay lol

[matty2484]

I like the design of the toaster! and i do like the ears... although I'll have to agree and say that I think they could have done a little more to not make it look so plain. It will def be interesting to see the rest of this series..

[Gillyweed]

Oh my goodness, I love the sheep! I think it may need to be added to the must have list.

I have to say I like the toaster too. Who doesn't love toast!

[2zon]

The sheep and the toaster designs are growing on me. I do hope this set come with abstract-esque designs inspired by Mickey, like in the previous urban series: Super Mouse, Oopsy, 3d, Paint Drip etc. just to name a few. Urban 6 seems to have the last single reference of Mickey.

I agree with DisneyObsessed this is the weirdest Urban series yet. Looks like just get one or two from a group buy

[iVinyl]

One thing that I know is that these will probably grow on me when I see them. I'm sure the toaster is cute in person.

[mamawantsvinyls]

Well, now we have the answer as to what series the mysterious snake and fly previews came from! Here's a for no creepy crawly series!

Thank you for the report Sledge and Vinyl Avenger!

[rogpalmeruk]

Thanks for the update.... I'm not the biggest urban fan, from this set I love the cowboy & the power button. The red topper looks great, might start looking at these tonal toppers as they look cool.

[JAMESCRICKENBERGER]

I think this could be the best Urban series so far. I was thinking about not collecting urban anymore until I saw this preview !!!

[JTChief82]

What a surprise!!! Thank you Sledge and Vinyl Avenger for the previews. I love the red topper!!! Some very interesting designs in this set. I think I'm about 50/50 on this set.

[MsDisneyFan]

I can't even imagine what the chaser is going to be! With that said, I really like some of the figures in this series (surprisingly). I think the first figure in the lineup (green monster) is really cool and so are the chandelier figure, red dragon/tiger(?) figure. I really like those designs.

[edwarjk]

Looks like I will be saving some money by passing on this series will only buy the combo topper and pray I don’t get the snake or fly. Wouldn’t mind getting the red monster or green one.

[MsDisneyFan]

Oh and the power button! How did I miss that one? I'm sure my fiance will have to have that one

[mbo516]

These are pretty cool looking..what is the guy in the suit though? I don't get it

[lintman]

I can't make up my mind about this set. I like the chandelier but I don't really know if I like anything else. The western bandit might be fun though.

[mbo516]

I guarantee Casey jones made that bandit lol.

I wish they would throw in a Mickey related urban more often. Maybe the chaser. I don't think we've seen one since u6 sideways mickey

[mshalloween]

My husband LOVES Westerns so I know he's going to want the bandit!! I really like most of these, surprisingly. I will definitely be blind boxing a few in hopes that I get the fly, chandelier, green monster thing, toaster, power button, elephant, bandit, and even the snake. I guess that encompasses most of them

[lordiorotr]

yikes I really don't love most of these. the chandelier is cool but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it! the green monster is interesting. I think I really will have to see the actual vinyl to pass better judgement.
