Last year, Walt Disney World got an 8 figure set (6 regulars, 2 variants) celebrating the 40th anniversary. WDW then had two full Park sets dedicated to it. This summer however, there is a windfall of Disneyland figures. It started with a bunch of figures celebrating DCA. Now, on June 22nd, a set of 6 Disneyland figures will be available at D-Street California. Like the earlier WDW set, they represent the parks, establishing date and resort logo. These figures appeared in the Vault section of Disney’s Vinylmation website. So there were no details available. But it seems as if two of the figures might be Cast Member Trader Variants… similar to the way WDW had two variants that could only be found through trading with CMs.

Disneyland
A red and yellow design that has Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in the head, “Disneyland” in the body and “1955” on the feet. It reads “The Happiest Place on Earth” on the back. |
|
Disney’s California Adventure
A mostly yellow and blue figure with the retro style Mickey head found on the Ferris Wheel on the head. |
Disneyland ’55
Very similar to the WDW version, it has the established date on the head, the same Mickey design on the body and a banner with “Disneyland” on the back. |

Disneyland Classic D Silver Variant Cast Member Trader? Same as above, but silver. |
I love these. I absolutely adore them. I want all of ’em, and I’m going to arrange them to look like @gyophry’s hoodie. I cannot remember the last time I was this excited about anything they released.
Because the 40th is one of my favorite sets ever, I like these. They just better be at both parks like ours were
I really like these designs…can’t wait to get them…loved the wdw ones. Hope they don’t over produce them like the 40ths so they end up at 5 for $10 at the outlets.
I like that they’re in the same style and color scheme as the WDW set.
These are nice – will go well with the WDW celebration ones.
Hope the silver ones are cast chasers – I might be lucky enough to pick up one when we go to DLR at Xmas – didn’t get a WDW cast chaser when I went there in April thou!
