1st Annual Vinylmation Isle Awards

Welcome to the 1st Annual Vinylmation Isle Awards! As an obsessive lover of Vinylmation, I decided there's no better way to honor the hobby I love so much, than to award some of the best figures and artists for their contributions to the Vinylmation universe this year. I've asked some Vinylmation Jrs to help me present these awards. Remember, a vinyl is only eligible to win in each category if it was released between January 1 and December 31, 2013. And the winners are...
