Guests may purchase up to two (2) limited edition Vinylmation™ of a particular style (i.e. SKU), per Guest, per day. In other words, if a Vinylmation figure or set is released and it contains a Limited Edition stamp (“Limited Edition of”), a Guest may purchase up to two (2) of those items per day. The next day, a Guest can purchase another two of those same limited edition Vinylmation™. This policy covers any 3” figures, 9” figures or sets stamped with the specific words “limited edition.”

A Closer Look at the D Street Banners

December 12th, 2009  

Disney has released a better quality image of the banners from the D-Street store coming to Downtown Disney at Disneyland on Tuesday:

Again, if you look closely (or even not-so-closely), you can see some upcoming Vinylmation designs

D-Street Store Preview

December 11th, 2009  

From the official Vinylmation website blog:

With every new shopping location comes a unique set of design possibilities. For the new D-Street location at Downtown Disney District, the large atrium in the front of the building presented our artists with a gigantic blank canvas. Just like with our Vinylmation™ figures, our artists worked their magic and created these spectacular banners that fill the space to great effect.

The banners, which were designed by Disney Design Group Artists Eric Caszatt and Thomas Scott feature a look at Vinylmation™ past, present, and future. Vinylmation™ fans may want to look closely as there are some never before seen designs. Thankfully, it’s not too hard to spot the new figures as the figures on the banners range from six inches all the way up to a whopping three feet. Keep checking the blog for more sneak previews of this awesome store in preparation for its opening December 15!

If you look closely at the image, you’ll see what we assume to be artwork for a future Vinylmation Park Series (as stated in the blog post). Look for a skeleton pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean, Stitch, the hitchhiking ghosts (Ezra, Phineas, and Gus) from the Haunted Mansion, Harold the abominable snowman from the Matterhorn, the dancing penguins from Mary Poppins, as well as plenty of other designs we have not seen before.
