Today we revealed/confirmed the Park 8 chaser (check out Park 8 Chaser Confirmed). We also found out there will be two variants in the Park 8 set. Remember, Park 8 now has a February 17 release date. Check out Park 8 Explained for all the details. Now to the Variants and Combo Topper.
The first variant is the Kilimanjaro Safari truck. The variant has no mud on the front.
The second variant is for the 100 Years of Magic Celebration. The variant version has a white body.

The combo topper is Mickey in his Rainbow costume from the 80’s. Thanks to everyone who helped us understand this picture. Thanks to @CindyF1125 who sent us this picture of what this figure is. Very interesting. I think I sort of remember these outfits now. Great semi-obscure choice for WDW fans collecting this set. What are you thoughts?
Thanks to Bev for pointing us to this Disney Parks Blog picture of the opening of Star Tours.
This is Mickey’s 80s Space Costume. Also known by a few as Mickey EO, but that’s mainly because of the rainbow. But it is in fact his space suit.
Its mickey’s retro EPCOT costume

Thanks Bev!
so what happened to the fort wilderness mickey? i guess he is the chaser?
Check out the chaser post we just made. (I think you might feel smart)
Love the mickey sorceler variant ! wow
Yeah, looks better than the regular one to me. – MC
I much prefer blue and white sorcerer hat. But I’m not wowed at the varient change (just the colour).
I must concur with all of you in saying it looks better with white and blue. The one without mud is whatever I think I will like it better with mud but wouldnt mind blindboxing it.
The combo topper I am undecided since I have never seen it but like it when characters in costumes. Im hoping they will start doing that every now and then in with other characters like D-tour style or urban or dressed up.
Ya, I was just talking to a friend yesterday about that. Wouldn’t that be so cool to have sets of the Disney characters in various costumes they wore at the parks?
