A Closer Look at the Park #12 Contemporary Set

I am pretty excited about this set! I love it when seasoned Walt Disney World fans are acknowledged through Vinylmation. Sure we all love the big icons like the Earful Tower, the Tree of Life, Spaceship Earth... but there are only so many of those big icons to transfer into vinyl form before we end up with repeated designs. Not to mention that for someone who's been to Disney World a number of times, sometimes it's the little things we want to see as a Vinylmation, things that others might not immediately recognize. Like the Blizzard Beach Snowman for example.

The Contemporary Resort is probably one of, if not the most well known Walt Disney World resort. Even some of my friends who have never been to Disney World know that there's a triangular shaped resort with a monorail running through it. So this set is a good choice because it sits on the brink of being popular with Disney World veterans and at the same time, still potentially appealing to less frequent Disney visitors. I have never actually stayed at the Contemporary Resort, but I have passed through a number of times for meals, shopping trips, monorail fun and of course to take a look at the beautiful Mary Blair mural, on which this Park 12 set is based.

This set contains 4 figures in a new combination: two 3" figures and two Jr 1.5" figures. Let's break down this upcoming set. First up, let's take a took at the Native American girl figure and the inspiration for her design.

Here's one section of the mural: take a look at the girl in the center with the fruit on her head

And here she is in vinyl form as the first 3" figure in this set:

Now let's move on to take a look at the second figure in the set - the five legged goat. The story says that Mary Blair gave all the goats in her mural four legs, except one (seen in the picture below). When asked if this was a mistake, Mary replied, "well no one is perfect so I gave one goat five legs".

See the two goats in the top right? The one on the left has 5 legs whilst the one on the right has 4

And if we take a look at the second figure in this set, we can see two hooves on the front of the figure and three on the back, making him the five legged goat from the mural.

Now we'll move on to the third figure in the set and the first of the Jr. figures...

Returning to this picture, we can see the blue rabbit at the bottom

Here's a closer look

And here's the Jr. figure:

And now we move on to the final figure in the set and the second Jr. figure. Here's the section of the mural that the Orange Owl figure was taken from:

The Orange Owl is sat on top of the Native American child's head

And here is the Orange Owl Jr. figure:

And finally, here is a picture of the full Mary Blair mural:

Just beautiful! If you're ever at or near the Contemporary Resort, check it out!

The Park #12 Contemporary Set will be released at D-Streets tomorrow.
