July is approaching fast and I think the clear series is next....
Who's getting these and does anybody know if they will be
blind boxed also?
That would make me crazy, I only want the pink one.
My guess is that they won't be
I can't seem to get a straight answer about the blindboxing. I was told by the previous product developer and several of the artists that they would NOT be blind boxed. However, I have heard from the new product developer that they would be blind boxed. I'm not exactly sure which to go by here. I don't understand why they would blind box a series like this, especially when it is going to be open ended. I also don't think this series has enough interest/demand to warrant blindboxing. I think that could be the worst thing they could do actually.

I'm going to DL on July 3rd and 4th. Does that mean Park #2 will be retired and all that will be there is the Clear Series? If so I will cry.
I doubt that they will sell out before them but if they do then yes. But I dont think there is a set date in July for the release so the clear series might not even be there by then. I agree with Sledge that it would be really stupid if they were blindboxed.Originally Posted by paaron46
I think they are stupid anyway. I just want to get back and get a bunch more Park #2's. I would be really mad if it were the Clear Series when I got there because I have no interest in them at all.
Have any of the parks run out of Park #2 yet?
Hopefully there will be plenty for you to buy.
Clear series is scheduled for July but who knows when
Im really looking forward to Holiday and Cutesters but I do
want a pink clear one
I kind of like the clear series - although they're plain and simple (kind of like some of Randy Noble's latest designs!), I think they're fun...and the concept of being able to swap around body parts is what makes them redeemable in my book.
I agree with Sledge, though - blind boxing would be about the worst thing they could do for them. In fact, possibly dropping the price point down to say, $6.95 might give these Vinyls the boost they need to sell.
I like Vinyls because of the artwork and the Disney references. These have none of that. No artistic representation here at all.
I agree. These seem like they're more geared for kids to play with as toys rather than a "collectable."
Like wvugrrrl said, make them cheaper and don't blindbox them...that would suck.
This was actually what I was told originally. I guess the plan changed.
Will you be getting them?
I still want a pink one
Unless the chaser in this set is ridiculously cool. I have no reason to buy any.
Will there be a chaser in this series as well, I wonder
Rainbow chaser? Mickey ears all over its body in
all the colors of the clear ones?
Probably not. Maybe one just so I can take pictures of it, then alter the pictures of it into different colors to post on the site.Will you be getting them?
haha, I dont want them either! So atleast we get a month off of spending money on vinylmations.Probably not. Maybe one just so I can take pictures of it, then alter the pictures of it into different colors to post on the site.
So that's what this set was for... to give everyone a break from spending even more money!lol. jk
I think as an open-ended set, it can't possibly be blind boxed, but you never know. Personally, I might look for a couple colors here and there, but just for fun.
I agree that this set really isn't that desirable, but I'll still get a few. I do wish they would lower the price point, even more so if there's no box. I hated having to pay the 9.95 for the blanks. Seriously, no art on the, no work put into printing them, no card and no nice box. Doesn't at all justify the same price point.
Meet me at the Tiki Room,
My version of Paradise!
I wasn't crazy about them at first but
after the second set of pictures were posted, they
look a bit better and they sort of grew on me
As a collector of Japanese designer vinyl toys, I actually have come to prefer clear vinyl releases. It really brings more attention to the figure itself.
I will catch flack here, I am sure, but 75% of these designs are awful IMO, and do not hold water to what's being released in Japan (non disney). The 25% I do like, I really like seeing as I grew up on Disneyland.
downwithgnomes I completely agree, 100%.
I've gone on rants about the lack of detail and over all design quality of the current vinylmation series. Fortunately the future releases look like positive improvements, but Disney could learn a thing or two from what they are doing with the designs overseas or even at Kidrobot.

I tend to agree...what are your favorite pieces thus far?
I only want the red one.
Andy, are you planning on getting any of the clear ones?
