A newspaper of course! And now onto Vinylmation news… The 6 piece Black & White set will drop into D-Streets and Disney Store Online on August 12. It has a price tag of $99.95 and is LE 2000. We also know it was designed by Sarah Matthews. It was back on May 20th, that we first posted about this set after seeing them at a WDW Trade show.
Disney hasn’t seem to have released any official pictures of these figures. We only saw these two at that trade show. We did dig up the following information (as posted on May 20):
“Last week we heard a rumor about a LE set of 2000 called Black and White. The set was said to be by Sarah Matthews, and oddly enough, you are linked to the Disney Store page when you search for “Sarah Matthews disney artist” in Google! Sarah also runs “Orange Blossom Ink” with a fellow Disney Artist, Lisa Badeen. There was much speculation about this set (because the Disney Store page does not have a picture). It turns out that the set won’t be old B&W characters, but a 6 piece set of interesting design patterns in black and white.”
We also found this “hidden” page on the Disney Store Online back in May:
Are you adding this set to your collection? Do you need more pictures or is it a Black and White choice based on what we know already? (sorry for the bad jokes in this post, I’m tired and lots of news to get out)
Really not sure about this set – will need to see all the figures before I decide. $99.95 does seem a bit steep and what we have seen so far is not as impressive as Steam Park for the same price – might be saving myself another $100.
