Ratatouille’s Gusteau and Ghost Chosen to Represent Food and Wine 2013

Update 8/6/13: That’s no ghost. After MC looked at the variant he realized it’s not a ghost, its Gusteau on his black and white cooking show! That makes a lot more sense! Also, the variant will be a LE of 250 and the original will be a LE of 2250. 8/1/13– Artist Thomas Scott has … Read more

Not that it was a surprise to anyone at this point, but the last Park Starz 2 variant has been announced and it is a clear version of Gus from the Haunted Mansion. I was hoping for a little bit more, maybe even a three pack of the three ghosts, but this is what we … Read more

It seems like there may be an LE 1000 Evil Queen Daisy 3″ figure released exclusively at the Reflections of Evil trade event for $16.95. It was not on the RSP but should be available in the set up shop inside the event just like the Popcorn’s Dumbo variant was last fall. I hope there … Read more

Halloween 2013 Figures Revealed

Caley Hicks had the honors of designing up some Halloween treats for us this year. I’d say, she succeeded in tempting my Vinylmation sweet tooth. There will be two to choose from this year.

Urban 4 Photoshoot

Urban 4 holds a special place in my collection. It was the first Urban series that I completed a set of. I always loved these designs from top to bottom.

Park Starz vs Uni-Minis!

Earlier this year, Universal Studios introduced a themed vinyl collectible of their own called Uni-Minis. While they are similar to the idea of Park Starz, there are many differences that actually equate them more to Funko’s Pop Vinyl. Uni-Minis are sold in open window boxes for $12.95, so you know what you are going to … Read more
