Another clown! Yes, but this one is a truly great idea for a vinyl that I would never even have ever imagined. We already knew of most of the 9″ Park 9s (take a look at explained page), and the back of a box on display at the WDW Trade Night has shown us the rest of the lineup.
This LE 1000 9″/3″ Park 9 combo is an extremely fun tribute to one of the most beautiful resorts on WDW property, the Boardwalk. When we took Cutesters at the Beach around to all the resorts for a photoshoot, this was my favorite shot:
The Boardwalk Clown slide that drops guests into the swimming pool is the marque feature of the recreational side of this grand resort. It is made to look like an old school boardwalk amusement park roller coaster. Walt Disney World has 20+ resorts… I have always thought more figures needed to give a nod to their features. The Boardwalk Clown Slide is an LE 1000. The kid swimmer that comes with it is perfect. I don’t know who wears Mickey Ears while swimming, but I DON’T CARE. Goggles, innertube and noseplugs are all great additions to the design. The second of the 9″ Park 9s on display at the WDW trade night was this Disneyland Indiana Jones Adventure themed figure.
I think Disneyland fanatics are saying… about time for a tribute to this great attraction. Here is a look at the statue this is based on:
And for a quick refresher… here is the rest of the 9″ Park 9s…
Good lord, talk about being scared of clowns.
Mara is a must have, though, which means of course that it will be $75
It’s been awhile since there has been a non-event 9″ with an edition size as low as 550. Will this one sell out quick or sit on the shelves and sell slowly like in the old days of low releases?
Does anyone know for sure if these two new 9″ are on the OLD mold? Since Disney has usually been consistent on 9″ styles within a series, I take it the 9″ are both OLD mold.
I love the Boardwalk Clown 9″ Vinyl! It captures perfectly the icon (clown) at the Boardwalks pool. Although I have sworn off purchasing 9″ Vinyls, I will break my own rule and pick this one up! I hope Disney does more resort themed Vinyls. Most of us guests have a strong connection to the resorts we stay at while at Disney!
Mara is a MUST! I wonder what the back looks like.
Anyone know exactly what date the MARA Vinyl hits D-Street?
