Thank you to Tomio for pointing us to these pictures and Attractions Magazine for tweeting them. This is the first look at the new Duffy shaped Vinylmation. It really is a whole new look.
They should be coming out later in 2012. They created an all new mold shape for this and it was the perfect way to go. I absolutely love this design. First of all, making a new vinyl shape for Duffy is the perfect way to go. The shape would have been too similar to Mickey Mouse otherwise. The sitting position allows for the details on the bottom of the feet to be displayed. It keeps the figure a nice size and looks completely adorable… like a vinyl teddy bear. This shape captures the bear’s hefty look and rounded features. There seems to be two designs here, plain and sailor clothed. I would not be surprised to see a ton more as the Duffy plush at the parks are completely customizable with a variety of outfits from country themed to Disney character themed choices. I expect a ton of varied opinions on this one… let’s hear it.
I expect are gonna be negative about this as with monorails and park starz but I love this new mold, perfect for duffy. Hope we see buzz and woody costumes on the duffster sometime soon.
oh I hope the make some D.I.Y. white versions of this mold. I would love to do some customs of it.
I would love some DIY of these too!! I’ve already got ideas…
Im not a duffy fan, but the mold does look good and more importantly different.
I personally love these! Can’t wait!
LOVE the Duffy mold! So excited for these!
Consider me the Brad B. of this mold. Fire will kill this real quick!
LOL
Wow, I was certainly not expecting more Pro than Con comments here!
ZOMG I love it. DO WANT.
Cute.
I have resisted the temptation to collect vinylmation figures until now. Now I have both Duffy figures and think they are the cutest things ever!
