Can’t wait to get these! I know they have been initially getting a little bit of a negative review by Vinylmation collectors because they are not on the Mickey mold – I want to say I AM A FAN!!! In theory, I think twice (if not more) creativity went into these. They had to create an interesting 3D shape for each character to start as their canvas and then create the art. Is the art as complex as recent Vinylmations? No. But as they stated, these were created two years ago. I see a bright future for these, especially as they start incorporating what they have learned in the past few years on future releases. Cheers!
OK — I love the robot Butler fig., but almost $20….hmm I don’t know. I always thought he would be a regular vinylmation.
These are actually closer to the classic Japanese style Vinyls…. I like em! Would have preferred a more accurate Figment shape tho…..
i want these NOW! i am an avid vinylmation collector (just hit 458 of them!) and i love these. they are very true to a “kid robot” style vinyl. from what i have seen it looks as though a case is only 16 of them. i hope there are enough so the true collectors (not to the vultures who want to profit off of these) can get their hands on them! any word on the date? i saw october….
Awesome that is all.
Why oh why doesn’t Disney fix the broken Yeti??? I am not a fan of the new mold but I don’t really view these as vinylmation as they look nothing like the original nor new mold. My favorite is the Skeleton Pirate.
Bit upset that its a dang skeleton pirate, really wanted the dog with the keys!
what is the size of this set? i know the podcast at florida project mentioned that sizes vary, but just curious if we could have a scale comparison. bigger than typical vinylmation?
They are about 3-4 inches tall. I wish I took a side by side comparison to Mickey mold vinys. Some are wider or have more depth than others. Kind of like Funko Pop! Vinyls, things like hats make some of these taller than others.
I saw a photo from the recent vinylmation event and it had Al and the squid next to one of the new ‘Cutesters on the Beach’ vinyls – they are the same size.
these are so cool! i cant wait to get some
I really like the Bride!
I think these would have been good as an open window set – people seem to have definite favorites and at nearly $20 for a blind box, most people won’t want to be stuck with ones they don’t like.
Sigh…..Tell myself I don’t want these…then the chaser comes along and botches that line of thinking.
If you are talking variants (same vinyl shape/dif. characteristics)…something copper in color is most likely a copper Abe Lincoln to mimic his penny portrait.
