Disney has announced a set of Vinylmation based on the upcoming Pixar film Brave. We are not sure the nature of this set (LE, Blind Box, Open Window…) but it does appear it will be released on May 25th along side an artist signing with Ron Cohee on Friday, May 25 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at D-Street Orlando.

We also do not know the set size or the character selection at this point. We can assume it includes the lead heroine Merida (seen above), but little is even known about the rest of the characters to speculate. I visited the Pixar Brave website where there are a ton of screen shots, videos and downloads… as well as character descriptions. A couple options would be Merida’s horse, Angus:
A human and animal 2-pack is a likely option. Or possibly King Fergus:
After seeing the mold modifications to allow for better John Carter figures, that peg leg would be an incredible addition to the Vinylmation universe. This vinyl news comes on the heals of the announcement that the US movie release date has been changed to July 15. If you have not seen it already, here is the trailer for Brave. It seems to keep in the Pixar tradition of a truly beautiful looking film.
I am super excited about these vinylmations as well. The movie looks amazing and the animation is just spectacular.
A peg leg would make sense because of the Barbossa figure. But either way, I’m still interested in this set.
The new Meet and Greet will include the Bear cubs. So perhaps a bear cub vinylmation?
looks like an awesome movie and awesome VM set – but clearly i’m ‘outta the loop’. where is all of the new VM news being released? when i go to my normal spot for info (the eventservices VM blog at disney.go), they’re still stuck on the 9″ alice post from 3/29…
Most of the latest stuff today came from the event’s page on the Vinylmation.com site. Just release dates to announce things. In general there are so many places to try to glean info from, in fact, looking for info was what inspired us to make this site two years ago. Hopefully we can provide as much info as there is on a general basis!
Where do we find the updated news at? I’m trying to stay informed but Disney-run blogs obviously aren’t updated enough, I get all my best info from sources like you guys, the actual sellers of vinylmations don’t even bother to touch base with the fanbase about things like this >:(
All over the place. We have like 30 different pages we try to check on a regular basis. Hopefully our site will help gather all that info for you in an easy manner. In terms of the Brave vinylmation themselves, its still very early, and Disney likes to hold info back as much as they can.
