We hope all of the Vinylmation™ fans enjoyed the little surprise yesterday. It’s official: Vinylmation™ is coming to select Disney Stores. Some of you may have already found the new Vinylmation™ Toy Story, Vinylmation™ Have-A-Laugh and Vinylmation™ Urban #4 series in the new Imagination Park location in Montebello, California. Congrats! These series will also be introduced at Disney Parks and on the Disney Parks on-line store soon.

The partnership between Disney Theme Park Merchandise and the Disney Store has been in the works for several months now. There were lots of fans who wondered about having Vinylmation in Disney Stores during the live chat on April 29, 2010. Sadly, we couldn’t discuss it at that time. But we were thrilled to hear of the interest.

As we’ve mentioned before, Vinylmation™ draws inspiration from the roots of the Walt Disney Company: artistic expression combined with fantastic storytelling. We are excited to take Vinylmation™ from a Disney Parks initiative to a Walt Disney Company initiative. And the Disney Stores, especially with the introduction with of the new Imagination Park locations, will be a key partner with this expansion.

So now, Vinylmation™ is at Disney Parks, on the Internet and now at select Disney Stores.

To celebrate this partnership, here is a new wallpaper image featuring two pals – Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Disney-Pixar’s Toy Story.

Oh for those wondering, the new Disney Store at the Shops at Montebello will hold a Grand Opening celebration on June 29, 2010. Here is the address: 2060 Montebello Town Center, Montebello, CA 90640. We learned Radio Disney will be there to celebrate the opening. The fun starts at 10:00 a.m. when the first 400 kids get free Mickey Mouse Ears (while supplies last!). There will also be celebrity hosts, special guests from Disney Channel, plus a meet and greet with Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jessie from noon to 4:00 p.m.

From Official Vinylmation Blog:

We have a small revision to our release date announcement we made yesterday. The figure will be exclusive to D-Street at both Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort on May 14 through the first weekend. Any remaining figures will be released to the other locations starting on May 17.

A limited amount of the figure will also be available on the online Disney Parks Store.

In other news, we’ve updated the Sneak page to include a look at the 3″ figures for Urban #4. Look for these figures to be available soon at both Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort.

Speaking of Urban #4, a mystery pin collection will be released tomorrow featuring designs from this collection. Even though this pin collection has a mystery chaser, it is not the same design as the mystery chaser from the Vinylmation™ series. So for those of you who were hoping to get a sneak peek at the chaser, you’ll just have to keep waiting.

The official Vinylmation website has released images showcasing the front and back of designs for both Park Series #4 and Urban Series #4 3″ figures. To check out the images, simply look into our image galleries for Park Series #4 and Urban Series #4.
