Animation Vinylmation Released Tomorrow in UK

Due to the withdrawal of the Furry Friends series from Disney Stores worlwide there has been much hysteria on ebay, facebook and twitter with collectors seeking to finish their own collections in case of the series not being released again in future.

In order to compensate for the unavailabiliy of Furry Friends, Disney Store UK are bringing forward the release date of the Animation 2 series in order to fill the gap left by everybody's favourite Disney dogs and cats. The series was already scheduled to be released in America tomorrow (Friday 13th January), so this news will please Vinylmation collectors in the UK. The UK collectors often feel overshadowed by their US counterparts when it comes to new releases and choice.

Earlier today, this banner temporarily replaced the Furry Friends banner at the top of the www.disneystore.co.uk vinylmation page. However, the Furry Friends banner is now back for the moment.


This series follows on from the successful Animation series 1 which was released last year. There are 11 revealed designs in the series and 1 mystery chaser. The series will be sold at £8 per figure, and they will be concealed in mystery blind boxes until they are opened. Which one will you get?

The series features:

-Jose
-Tigger
-Dopey
-Kim Possible
-Chicken Little
-Donald
-Flower
-Tinkerbell
-John Henry
-Baloo
-Sebastian
-Headless Horseman Mystery Chaser (Highlight to Reveal)



The choice of characters being represented in the series has been widely criticised. The argument is that many series have already featured Donald and Tinkerbell. The choice of Kim Possible and John Henry has gone against the idea that this series was going to represent characters from the 50 Disney animated classics.

Finally, Disney Store must be praised for their quick decision making and allowing UK vinylmation collectors to have access to a new series on the same day as they are released in the US.

Have a magical day!!
