Toy Story Midway Mania figure 9"

[lindsey1128]

Hi everyone!

I apologize if there is a thread with updates about this figure somewhere and I somehow missed it, but I haven't seen or heard about the Toy Story Midway Mania figure that was previewed a while back.

I saw the artwork for this figure on multiple Vinylmation websites, and I think it was even listed under the sneak peak section of the Vinylmation Blog website at one point (I didn't see it when I just checked-maybe I missed it?)

I was just really looking forward to this figure and it seems like it's disappeared out of thin air! Does anyone know anything about it?

Staff Update:

Per the Vinylmation Blog event page this will release online and in the parks on July 20, 2012.

Pretty sure it will be released eventually, we just haven't heard anything definite from Disney yet as to when.

[mickeyfan1999]

I am sure is going to be release sometime this year.

Isn't there proof you can see this sitting on one of the shelves in that Robots 2 video?

[PreludeVTEC01]

Wow, great design. Looks just like the attraction, very well done.

I forgot about this guy!! I'm glad you brought this up because now I'm wondering too. It was supposed to go with Park 8 though, right? So yeah I'd assume sometime this year also!

I forgot about this guy too. I hope it's for Park 9, and if it's a 9", I hope it'll be regular priced and on the original mold.

I don't have any info on this piece specifically, but one of the things we heard around the time of the shake-up at the top of Vinylmation - amidst the announcement that the ELP Dragon would be priced at $74.95, too - was that a number of 9" designs had been cancelled. I'll say again that we weren't told specifically which designs might get the chop, so this still could be coming out in the future, but the word at the time was that they'd be cutting back on the total number of 9" designs.

Oh wow, interesting. Ahhhh! I sooooo hope this wasn't one of the ones canceled. I was so looking forward to this!

If in fact it was canceled, I would really wonder why. With it being such an insanely popular ride, you'd think it would be quite popular as well!

Fingers crossed it comes out at some point!

Thanks for posting this. It's teh first time I've seen this figure but it looks great. I'm definately going to have to keep on the lookout for more information.

I'm glad you asked the question Lindsey! I was wondering that as well during the DLR trading night. I wonder if they put it on hold so they could produce it on the new 9" mold? There's a lot of lines on the concept art, maybe they want to have cleaner lines and less "obstacles" to work around? I'm a big fan of the 9" old mold and if that's the case, it's a massive toss up as to whether I'll buy it or not.

Forgot about this design, I thought we would have seen it released this summer at the latest, but we haven't heard anything about it yet. It's a great design, I really hope it sees release soon.

I read somewhere the release for this figure will be July 20th, and apparently it's a 9" 3" combo?? I have yet to see any pictures though, and don't know if there are any in circulation yet. I am pretty excited that there's a 3" to go along with it, but that means a $74.95 price tag :/

[crazybones27]

Please see first post for product release date update

[KJM72]

When I read that this was finally coming out- DURING MY WDW TRIP:



Anyone have word on the 3", though? I hope it's something really, really good- I need reason to make a trek to DTD these days.

[Figmentfan0787]

Comes out on my birthday...anyone wanna get me a present? lol

[JasonD]

Facebook has a picture of the 9"/3" Combo. Very cool design.

It's sooo Pretty

[HitchHikingGhostFangirl]

Yep, yep I want it.

Of course it comes out the week after I'm in Orlando for a convention

[Qsk50]

Wow! It certainly just made it's way up to the top of my list

[crazybones27]

:sigh: I said no more 9" in this house. This one may break me

Haha yea. Just when I thought I was almost entirely out of buying the traditional VMs. (I may overlook the new mold on the 3" ocassionally, but I won't on the 9" so for this one I'm like GIMME ME!)

[Samjive]

OMG! I just love this one... and I don't own any 9"! Yikes.... hope I can make room for this one.

There are so many other 9" that I want, maybe we can compromise on you getting this and Humphrey/Ranger and I can get the 6 or 7 other designs I wanted once they go on sale
