Two Exciting New Series!!

The Animation and Villains series are coming out soon! The Animation 1 Series is due out at Walt Disney World on January 7th and the Villains 1 Series is rumored to be Disney Store only and due for release soon!

In D-Street at WDW the Animation series is already on display at the entrance of the store. The artists made wonderful use of accessory items! Both Mushu and Pinocchio have tales (from the scene where Pinocchio is turned into a ...*ahem*...  donkey on Pleasure Island). The Fairy Godmother has a wand, Peter Pan has his hat, and Marie has a hair piece with her pink bow.

The character assortment is as follows: *****CHASER SPOILER ALERT*****
Pinocchio
Mushu (Mulan)
The Fairy Godmother (Cinderella)
Marie (The Aristocats)
Dodger (Oliver and Company)
Naveen (The Princess and the Frog)
Philocetetes "Phil"  (Hercules)
Quasimoto (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Aladdin
Peter Pan
Alice (...in Wonderland)
***Pink Elephant (Dumbo)***


The Villains Series on the other hand, does not use any accessory items. Although I do like the accessories and was waiting for those to start appearing, I like that they didn't use accessories in this series. I feel that it is more difficult to design without the use of the accessories (even though the first Vinylmation I decided to bring to life will have accessory pieces).  I agree with the majority of villains they chose, even though they used a few henchmen such as Banzai and Kaa (though Kaa is debatable whether he is a villain on his own or a unwilling tool of Sher Kahn). I personally want to get the entire set and am already awaiting the second set in the series!

The character assortment is as follows and once again ***** CHASER SPOILER ALERT*****
Banzai (The Lion King)
Kaa (The Jungle Book)
Governor Ratcliffe (Pocahontas)
Shan Yu (Mulan)
Stromboli (Pinocchio)
Captan Peg Leg Pete (Steamboat Wille Short)
Old Hag ~ Evil Queen in Disguise (Snow White)
Ursula (The Little Mermaid)
Prince John (Robin Hood)
Mad Madame Mim (The Sword and the Stone)
Cruella De Vil (101 Dalmations)
***Jafar (Aladdin)***
