August Rush

For each month of the 2013 year, Disney has been releasing a limited edition Poster Series Vinylmation and they have been somewhat hit or miss. That trend will continue in August except this one is in our opinion the best one thus far!

This release is a collaborative effort from Maria Clapsis and Jonathan Bishop that is scheduled for 8/2/13 and will be at both D-Street locations as well as the Disney Store online. Just like its predecessors in the series, this will be an open edition with a run of 2,013 pieces and retail for $14.95.

What do you guys think about this one? Have you been collecting each figure every month? This vinyl is an absolute must have for us :)

The Full Monty

If there is one regret that the Vinylmation Revealed staff has as a whole, it is not picking up every single Disney Afternoon Series 1 release. But, we will not make that same mistake twice!

Today, we get a look at the Disney Afternoon Series 2 release from Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers. This is actually a three vinyl set! It would appear that it includes a 3" Gadget, 3" Monty and a 1.5" Zipper! We are being told this will be released on 8/16/13 at both D-Street locations and online at the Disney Store. This will be a limited edition run of 1,500 and will retail at $29.95.

This is a must have for our staff, how about you? 

The Lone(ly) Ranger

Disney has definitely given a new meaning to T.G.I.F. for all of their Vinylmation collectors. But, inevitably in all busy release months, there is bound to be a set or two that gets forgotten in the shuffle. For this month, the Lone Ranger is odd man out...

Released on 6/21/13, the same day as the Beauty and the Beast blind box series, it may have been doomed from the beginning. This two-pack is a limited edition run of 2,000 sets that retail at $26.95 and includes both the Lone Ranger and Tonto. In person, this set is absolutely beautiful and our staff is assuming that the popularity of this set may possible increase if the movie gets rave reviews. If not, a price drop may be imminent.

What do you guys think of this one? Did you pick up a set? Can you imagine the open display possibilities for these guys? Check out this example below from Disney World.

Surfin' U.S.A.

Here is our unboxing of the Mickey Surf tin that is a Hawaii exclusive released on 6/26/13

See Ya Later, Ben Ali Gator!

Just when you thought your wallet was safe, yet another Friday release is coming!

Fantasia 8 which is a two-pack of Ben Ali Gator and Hyacinth Hippo is scheduled to be released on 6/28/13. This will be a limited edition run of 2,000 sets that will be retailing at $24.95 and is a park exclusive.

Any thoughts on this set? Outside of the initial Fantasia two-pack, the staff has not picked up any of the following releases in this series. Though, if this ever does price drop to the sub $5 range like the Oz sets recently have, it will be a deal that is too good to pass up!
