General Holiday Series #1 Discussion

[Sledge]

Holiday Series #1 is scheduled to be released in September 2009.

I looked through the threads and didn't see any discussion on the upcoming Holiday Series. I have one specific question that someone can hopefully answer. In the concept art posted on here, I only see 10 3" designs. Is this set only going to be an 11-piece set: 10 + 1 chase figure? Or is there the possibiliry of 2 chase figures with this set?

Disnclaimer: Memory subject to failure.

From what I recall, it's supposed to be an 11 plus chaser set but they are trying to either finalized the artwork or decide which will be the chaser. I'll add it to my list of things to ask if no one beats me to it. ;)

I remember seeing the 9" figures at the pin event a couple of weekends ago, but I don't remember seeing any of the holiday 3". They should have been right there with the 9" figures if they were there. I'll have to go back and look at my pics and see what they had.

[BigAl_PT]

I've seen photos of the 3" figures, Sledge has them posted here. But I do not remember seeing ANY for which he doesn't have the concept art already posted .

At the events all that has been shown were the 10 that were on the cardboard showing the concept art. Take that for what it's worth. I don't have an answer as to why there are only 10 advertised, unfortunately.

Think the chaser could be Hanukkah?

Think the chaser could be Hanukkah?

Interesting idea. Could be possible. I think someone on the old forum mentioned Valentine's Day as the chase figure. I would tend to lean towards that if I had to choose between the 2.

[BlakeMP]

Yeah, the set isn't limited to December holidays. Valentine's Day would seem appropriate.

valentines would be a great chaser.

I'm a big fan of the gingerbread guy ^_^

Arbor Day?

[JEP]

The Chaser will be my Birthday.

All I remember was the Artist way back in February saying that they were trying to push the series and that is why there is only 10 plus a chaser, so I don't think there is a missing one. Now maybe things have changed but I would think we would have seen a prototype if they added another one.

I think that to go along with the What Will You Celebrate promotion, the chaser will be a birthday cake or something to that effect.

I hope not; but now that you say it, I wouldn't put it past them.

My assumption would be a Cupid figure for Valentine's Day. Of course, if they're going to add another figure to the set, then it could very well be a Valentine's figure...which still leaves us to speculate on the chase figure.

It shows this coming out in September, I guess we don't know around what time

I will be in Anaheim the 2nd week of Sept and WDW the 3rd week...was hoping they would be released so I can purchase.

i would love to see the birthday one, but if i were to assume a holiday, hmmm... it would be a tough one because they could focus it on any holiday, but valentines would be a good one too.

[Scarletwebslingr]

Talk Like a Pirate Day would be cool. Martin Luther King Day? ...how about the Ides of March?

[Fab5Fan]

Lets list the possibilities...feel free to add if I forgot something

Birthday
Valentines Day
Labor Day
Hanukkah
Presidents Day
MLK
Ground Hog Day
April Fools Day
Mother's Day
Father's Day
Memorial Day (assuming flag one is for July 4th)
Columbus Day
Veteran's Day

the one's in bold are those that I believe are most likely candidates.

[Scarletwebslingr]

20th of April (4/20) perhaps?

I would think possibly Earth Day (or Arbor Day) since they're starting to be big on being green (unless I missed it and there already is one).

[Scarletwebslingr]

I don't think it'll be birthday themed simply because Disney's theme this year is Celebrating and, if it is extended for an extra year like Cinderellabration and Year of a Million Dreams was, we could likely be seeing Birthday being in a Parks series.

[Bamboo7]

I'm thinking that one will be themed for October 1st.....Epcot Day!
