Bearded Lady
A cross between a nice lady and a werewolf, this lucky gal has a crazy cool face follicles. |
 |
Gymnast
Similar to the Philharmagic Donald, the vinyl is upside. The hair in the feet doesn’t work quite as well as similar designs in the past, but it’s still fun and creative. |
 |
Mime
Not much use of the ears, but a great expression on his face. Although I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pudgy one. |
 |
Scary Clown
If you follow the podcast you’ll know that lots of people are scared of clowns. This one is not going to help that. Perfect for those of us who might be getting a little too much sleep at night. |
 |
Snake Charmer
Not really a North America type, I do like the accessory flute! And I like that the feet are actually the basket the cobra is coming out of. |
 |
Strong Man
Check out that accessory. It’s gotta be the heaviest one yet! The sweat is a nice added touch. |
 |
Tattooed Man
At first I thought this was a Hairy Man, but that didn’t really seem all that special. On second look, he’s covered with tattoos. Let’s hope for some easter eggs. |
 |
Fire Eater
Love the accessory (I always do). Looks great. |
 |
Ring Master
Great mustache. And Hat. |
 |
Monkey
Reminds me of Abu. Another nice accessory! |
 |
Fortune Teller
Great us of artist technique to show the table and crystal ball in front of the vinyl. |
 |
Mystery Chaser

Hopefully Scary Clown doesn’t have a packaging error and get Mother Gothel’s dagger like Animation 2 Donald did!
Some good designs, but overall I am passing on all.
I believe the mime in Tangled was pudgy, lol!
A couple good figures in this set but I will not be picking any of these up. To much other stuff being released that I reaally want!
Got 8 of the set including the chaser. One of the best series to come out in a long time. Standouts for me are the mime, bearded lady, and snake charmer.
What circus characters are the chaser ones exactly. Is it like tall guy and small guy or what?
Yes, that is exactly what it is. Rumor is from the artist Gerald Mendez, we should be on the look out for more of these types of combos. What characters do you think would work well like this? Zoe said a Mrs. Potts and Chip!
Ummmm. Maybe a kevin and russel in the pixar series 1, or a Pooh and Piglet in another series.
I love the use of Jrs by custom artists, such as Rapunzel and Pascal, Lilo and Scrump, Sorcerer Mickey and Maleficent dragon just to name a few.
Crush and Squirt would also work well. :)
Maybe another Aladdin with Abu?
Or to help start completing the Three Cabelleros maybe a Mexican Donald with Jr Aracuan bird.
Like this set and I will do my usual: choose my favorite and snipe it on Ebay! Ebay can really be a great collecting tool, esp. if you are not near the parks.
Are there any variants
Do u have any idea if the chaser is heavier then the other boxes
Are there any variant in the under the big top series
This is by far my favorite series avalable to buy right now at Disney Stores.
