We have been wondering when this day would come. It has taken it’s time but we finally have the first look at the new range of Vinylmation due out for Disneyland Paris’ 20th Anniversary.
Thanks to our friends at Disney Central Plaza we have a sneak peek at what seems to be the new series. Named the “Celebration Collection” these 4 look like they will be part of a much larger set. I have to admit, I am a little disappointed in the theme. Mickey and Minnie’s expression look like they have just come out of the disastrous Botox injections and Donald and Goofy look less than inviting. The quality of the artwork looks a little tacky compared to recent releases such as Vinylmation Tunes and Animation 2. I hope the collection brings some classic attractions to it as if this is the theme of the full set I’m only likely to buy them to trade. Who knows, Disneyland Paris might surprise us with some great stuff to come yet and this might only be the start.
I think these guys look ok, they don’t blow me away but I wasn’t expecting anything shocking or amazing,
Going by the other stuff being made for the anniversary, I am expecting to see Pluto, Daisy, Peter Pan, Buzz, Chip and Dale and no doubt another damn Tink. With Space mountain 2 and Phantom Manor already being included in other series, this set looks to be more “casual” than artistic sets.
Well I posted my comments on the matter here before this post was made

But yeah, the new mold mickey course strikes again. Sometimes they get it spot on, but other times, its not. Here, once again, they have messed up.
Will I get them though, absolutely
