Some rumored release dates, and one never before heard of series, were posted by Vinylmation Kingdom. Remember, these are not confirmed by Disney, but let’s take a look.
May 20: Masks Series
We hered rumblings of this series a few months ago, now we have a rumored release date and a leaked photo posted by Vinylmation World.
Looks like we have: Cowboy, Theater, Ninja, Bank Robber, Hockey Player, Spa, Kabuki, Surgeon, Scuba, Beauty Sleep, Villain.
June 24: Mickey Surfs
We have to assume it will be similar to Wild West or Disney Tunes. I should take Disney characters and put them in a beach theme.
July 26: Muppets 3
Yay! Here are some previews we saw back a Mickey’s Circus.
Just when I thought Disney Store releases were back on track after Animation and Wild West….this awful looking Masks series comes out. Cannot wait until Muppets 3.
They could have made a Disney themed series for Masks using the Tiki Gods. It could have been of the 8 piece mini tray variety with cool looking hand drawn masks. Other than that, the toilet paper roll heads are kind of weird looking. The only one I want on that mold is Lumiere in B&TB.
I heard rumor that Surf Mickey was a Hawaii exclusive. Any word there.
Cannot wait for M3! Animal! Animal!
Brad, Masks is your dream series… it covers up that new Mickey shaped head you dislike so much!!!! :) I agree, a Disney theme would make this series more attractive. I do like the gimmick, and it will sell to many people, but as seen with Wild West, collectors crave Disney themes.
I saw that same Surf Mickey rumor on Vinylmation Kingdom. Not sure at this point. That makes me think it is just a single open window Hawaii exclusive figure.
