Vinylmation Headlines of the Week
As summer looms, Vinylmation blooms (or is that summer blooms, Vinylmation looms?). Whichever, Greg Gaines has the week's hot headlines, including the release of Rescue Rangers, Goof Troop, and both the New York and San Francisco collections.
It's the last week of May, kids are getting out of school soon, and Memorial Day is right around the corner.

Do you know what that means?
SUMMER VACATION!!!!
If you're a Vinylmation fan, this year's summer vacation may be a great one. With that said, let's dive into this week's news and updates.
Rescue Rangers
Today, the third set in the Disney Afternoon Vinylmation series will be released at D-Streets in Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
The set is of Chip 'n Dale aka Rescue Rangers. The previous two sets (and the next two sets) in the Disney Afternoon series have featured (or will feature) characters new to Vinylmation, but Chip 'n Dale have already appeared in Vinylmation Jr., Nerds, and Have-a-Laugh.
Does that mean they will not be popular? Nope.
By the time you read this, you probably won't get a set if you're not already in line.
The last set sold out in just a few hours.
Goof Troop
However, if you don't live near WDW or DLR, then on June 10, you're in luck.
Goof Troop will be an online exclusive.
So now everybody across the country can get up early and wait in front of a computer instead of in line at D-Street.
Cutesters
Disney also announced that on June 6 it will release the Disney Store exclusive Cutesters Like You series.
Again, we go back to the new mold and the fact that it should provide a better canvas for the artists and these actually look good, if you like the Cutester series.
New York and San Francisco Collections
Last but not least, the New York Disney Store exclusives will be joined by the long rumored San Francisco Disney Store exclusive on June 26. Both stores will release a new 9" and a new 3" in separate tins.
We can now speculate about other cities in the series. Atlanta? Chicago? Paris? St. Louis? DC?
The possibilities are endless. Now we just have to find people in all of those cities to trade with.
Autographs
This is also the summer for autograph events. Let's run through them:
- May 27-28: Mike Sullivan, Disney's Hollywood Studios, 2:00-4:00 PM at Jabba's Hut
- June 4: Mike Sullivan, Disneyland, 9:00-11:00 AM at the Little Green Men Store Command in Tomorrowland
- June 11: Noah, Disney's California Adventure Park, Treasures in Paradise, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM, alongside artist Dave Avanzino and Walt Disney Imagineer, Larry Nikolai
- June 25: Chip Foose, Disneyland, 9:00 - 11:00 AM at The Disney Gallery on Main Street, U.S.A.
That's all for this week!
As always, we are just a click, tweet, or Facebook comment away.
