Did you get the Jafar and Iago set that came out recently?
LOL I was waiting for your list of points, lordofanime, of all the negative outcome that vinylmation is literally coming to an end. I had to stop collecting them because of how massively messed up the system for release dates have been going since then. Plus like you said, it went to extraordinary to utterly looking like small people design for the frozen set. I really do miss the amazing designs they use to have back in the days. It would be a miracle if Disney has any signs of dignity to bring back vinylmations for Aladdin & this time in 3" form & way better & executed design quality.
Did you get the Jafar and Iago set that came out recently?
Oh! That is nothing compared to what's happened since then!
1. Yeah... So Disney decided that they were going to release Aladdin as juniors, instead of being a full 3" figures, and a lot of people were kinda mad because the level of detail on them was meant to be on a bigger vinylmation.
2. Disney decided to hold the imagination gala and showcased a lot of new vinylmations but no dates.
3. Some big disneystore artists reported that they haven't worked on vinylmation designs since LAST SUMMER!
4. Every time they release a vinylmation set, they allocate like 10% to the online store and 90% to D-street. the 10% sell out in like 20 minutes and the ones in D-street end up going to the outlet store because they overstocked them. This meant that almost all the vinylmations released go on sale on the outlets for like 70% off, and multiple people have reported that the stock for the discounted vinylmations is increasing and increasing.
5. Release dates got screwed up... Massively!
6. Super, and I mean SUPER, limited stock at Disney Stores. See, vinylmation is usually sold in D-Street, but some sets are made for the Disney Store, those are usually the movie ones like Cinderella and 101 Dalmatians. Most stores no longer have these sets because they sold out and they never got any replenishment. With the exception of 101 Dalmatians which no one will buy due to dumb design decisions. 5 of the 8 were Dalmatians that looked very similar, while the two crooks and the maid didn't even get made. Not to mention Roger being tall but Cruella being short.
- One set came out without any announcements and sold out instantly online, and a lot of people didn't get the chance to buy them because they weren't aware that it had come out.
- Some sets were announced to come out in like 3 weeks, but ended up going on sale at the end of the announcement week (so 3 weeks early) with no warning.
- Some sets were advertised to come out in a specific date, online and in stores. They never showed up online.
- Some sets that were parts of lines (Villainous Duos) didn't come out online, even though other sets in the same line were sold online.
- The announced the annual Disney Parks vinylmations and mentioned when they would come out... They came out like 3 weeks late and showed up at the wrong stores.
7. Disney officially removed ALL of the trading boxes from the parks and no longer hold vinylmation trading events. Which meant that every single collector who had piles and piles of traders had to sell them on eBay which devalued EVERY SINGLE VINYLMATION.
8. Limited-to-none new releases. It's been sooo long since we've had an announcement of a new set coming out and people aren't even sure if they will even make them anymore.
9. And finally, the final nail in the coffin..... This steaming pile of horse**** they decided to make:
Oh, and just to make matters worse, the chaser was an olaf wearing a hula skirt.
Yes. DisneyStore, go swim in the money you made off of Frozen and neglect all your fans who follow you blindly.
We went form this perfection:
To whatever this is:
I'm so sorry about the long rant, but I need to blow off some steam.
A magic carpet throw blanket would be awesome.
Amen to that ! :bowdown:Yes that would be amazing! I am hoping for some cool Jafar merchandise.
Will the Jasmine LE more likely be released in June or July for pre-order? I've got some serious saving to do, haha.
I would say July. Since I remembered I pre-ordered the LE Ariel doll in July 2013 & then it was available in October to coincide with the blu-ray release.
But I just want to see sneak peeks of the LE Jasmine & possible Aladdin dolls already! Hoping they would do a LE Genie doll as well too.
A magic carpet throw blanket would be awesome.
Dunno if anyone has already seen this or if I'm way behind but some Jasmine stuff cropped up on the DS website. I'm thinking of getting this stationery set because I really love the designs
