The official Vinylmation website blog:
We really enjoyed seeing so many Vinylmation fans at the recent “Conversation With…” held at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa on Wednesday. We hope everyone had a great time learning a little more about the world of Vinylmation. While driving back to Disney Theme Park Merchandise, Steven realized that he misspoke about an upcoming new “Open Edition” series called “Big Eyes.”

“Big Eyes” will feature a variety of Disney Characters in a window box. Originally, this series was planned as a Limited Release Set. But We loved the artwork so much, and we wanted Guests to have the ability to select their favorite Disney characters, so we made it an “Open Edition” series. During the conversation on Wednesday, Steven mentioned there was a “chaser” in this set. There was … but not any more. Look for this series coming soon.
As for the Vinylmation that randomly waltzed into the shot (look top above right) … no clue. Though we heard he is a Doctor.
The “hiding” Vinylmation in the background is Dr. Finklestein from the upcoming Nightmare Before Christmas collection if you were wondering. Pictures of other characters from the “Big Eyes” collection can be found HERE.
