We had a lot of excitement this past Friday with the release of the
Vinylmationâ„¢ - Disney Afternoon: Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers limited edition set. There's still plenty more Disney Afternoon fun headed your way though, beginning on June 10 with the online exclusive release of
Vinylmationâ„¢ - Disney Afternoon: Goof Troop at the
Disney Parks Online Store.
Currently scheduled after that release will be
Vinylmationâ„¢ - Disney Afternoon: Doug. Here's a sneak peek at the artwork below:

We have an update regarding the release of the 9-inch figure pictured above. This figure was recently released via the
Disney Parks On-Line Store ahead of the planned June 17 release date.
We have had to make a small modification to the release locations. Only D-Street in California will be releasing this figure on June 17. Originally D-Street in Florida was to also release the figure on June 17 but this won't happen. Why? Unfortunately, some of the planned allocated quantities made their way to the on-line store and that quantity sold out. We apologize for the mix up.

Mark you calendars for June 24 as two limited edition figures will be released at the D-Street locations in California and Florida. Part of
Vinylmationâ„¢ Park #6, both of these figures were designed by Maria Clapsis. The "Alien Encounter" figure contains a 9-inch plus a 3-inch figure. It has an edition size of 1,000 and a retail of $74.95. We are just glad that Skippy is no longer suspended indefinitely.
The other figure was inspired by Disney-Pixar's
Up. It too has an edition size of 1,000 but a retail of $44.95.
These items will also be released via the
Disney Parks On-Line Store.
We found something that we thought you may like to see - the original flat artwork for the 9-inch Alien. Awesome stuff!
So June 24 will be a celebration of the artwork of Maria Clapsis! Yay - we love her!

Ever wonder what happens to your Vinylmationâ„¢ collection when you're not around? Our friends at the Disney Store may have provided an answer in a special video. A link to the video can be found at the
Disney Parks Online Store in the top banner. Just click on the "Cutesters Like You Video" link at the top of the page.
On a similar note, Vinylmationâ„¢ - Cutesters Like You is now available for sale online as
invididual figures or a
tray.
In other news, we wanted you to know that the Disney Afternoon set featuring Goof Troop is now sold out via the Disney Parks On-Line Store.
Stay tuned as the next set will feature Disney's "Doug" (as previewed a few days ago).
We are excited to announce that Custom Car Builder and Designer Chip Foose has created a one-of-a-kind
Vinylmationâ„¢ Figure that will be released on Saturday, June 25. Chip will be on hand at The Disney Gallery on
Main Street, U.S.A.® in
Disneyland® Park from 9am to 11am for a special appearance and signing of his "Cars" inspired images. These new works of art feature a few of your favorites like Doc Hudson, Lightning McQueen, Flo & Ramone and Mater in front of Disney attractions and icons including Autopia,
The Haunted Mansion®, the
Disneyland® Railroad Locomotive and Sleeping Beauty Castle.
You can read more about this event on the
Disney Parks Blog.
Meanwhile, we have images of the one-of-a-kind figure that Chip has created. It will have a retail of $1,500. Reflecting a Southern California and Huntington Beach lifestyle, where Foose Design is headquartered, this 9-inch figure features a 60s era surf/beach theme complete with palm trees which are easily identified with Chip Foose and Foose Design.
