The return of Animation #1

I was in the Magic Kingdom yesterday morning and stumbled upon a happy accident. Animation #1 boxes were everywhere!!! There a few boxes in the Main Street Emporium. There was opne in Mickey's Star-Trader's, 1 in the Art of Disney, and 1 more in The Frontierland trading post. They were also in Downtown Disney. 

The big display at D-STREET

The new lable

As you will notice from the photos, there have been changes to the boxes. There is a new blue area on the side of the box and the label on the bottom is diffrent. The label on the bottom looks like a generic one from the Disney Store. If you look closely, you can see how the price portion is preforated and can be easily removed. It good to see these figures making a comeback. I t will give everyone a chance to complete their collection before Animation #2 comes out in late fall. As always, happy collecting!

URBAN 5 AND HAVE A LAUGH HAVE BEEN MARKED DOWN TO $5.99

I would call this the calm before the storm. There are a lot of new vinylmations coming out this holiday season. It looks like the mouse is preparing for the onslaught of new product by trying to get rid of some of the old. At select stores in WDW, certain figures have been reduced to $5.99. The Urban 5 series, Have a Laugh, and the 2011 open edition window box series have all be reduced. I have found these prices at D-STREET, the pin store in Downtown Disney, and the Frontierland trading post in the Magic Kingdom. Also, some of the ear hat combos were marked 25% off at the Frontierland trading post. They had the Animal Muppet hat, Cutesters 2, and a couple of Urban 7's. Get Them while you can. Happy hunting!
