Please check out our Mickey’s Circus Explained page for detailed info on this event.
First off, as expected, Vinylmation event will be the last day of Mickey’s Circus… Sunday, September 9th from 9:30am-5:30pm. The event admission is $60 per guest and EPCOT admission is not included but required. Event registration begins on “World Circus Day”, May 19th at Noon EST. Admission to the first two days of the event, which is a pin event, is a separate admission price. No word yet on the FREE portion of the event, but that is usually 3pm and later on Sunday. Some of the highlights include: First opportunity to purchase new Vinylmation (Figures created especially for this event), Vinylmation Trading activities and Games, Silent auction featuring a variety Vinylmation items, Opportunity to trade for specially designed Vinyl for Mickey’s Circus – Vinylmation Showcase, One (1) $15 Gift Card redeemable at Epcot Food and Beverage locations, Artists Signings with Disney Design Group Artists, Limited edition commemorative gift, Plus extra special surprises throughout the event.
Now, here is a first look at the merchandise. (full catalog pdf)
Many people call me the Vinylmation apologist because I have been known to support changes in vinyls that most dont (new mold, cardboard vs tin, higher LE). However if this is the entirety of the Vinylmation for this event I will be disappointed and surprised. The lack of 9 inch figures is sad as also will mean the available figures will be bought up faster! I imagine more figures will be announced!
Mickey looks nice, relatively speaking, but poor Minnie…….
I don’t even collect pins, but those villains as sideshow acts are awesome.
I also think they might be scared to do another 9″ after the Mickey/Dumbo combo from last year didn’t sell out. It is not only still available, but discounted.
There will be more than than this…
I believe there may be 2 more at the very least! one will be the gift that comes with your registration (Minnie last year) and then special trade vinyl (orange bird last year). Even still feel rather lite on merchandise, i haven’t seen the pin catalog but i bet it has tons of item available for their event.
Yes, there will for sure be at least 2 more. The one you get through trading with Cast Members at the event and the gift with registration like you mention.
So just for registering you get another vinylmation?. Im confused. Ive never been to one of these vinylmation events but it sounds cool?
Yes, check out the explained page for details (now linked at top of post and comment below). But yes, for registering, you get a “gift” figure and then there is another figure you can get exclusively through trading with Cast Members at the event. Then you have the opportunity to purchase the figures shown above.
love all the pins… odes anyone know when these come out
Yes, these will all be released at the Mickey’s Circus event September 7-9. Registration for the ticketed event begins May 19th. You must register to have a chance to purchase the initial offering of merchandise. Left over merchandise will then be available at other locations.
This may help answer some of the questions and comments above and I should have link to it in the first place. Here is our Mickey’s Circus Explained page with more detailed info: http://destinationvinylmation.com/2012/03/mickeys-circus-explained/
