The Backside of Vinyls - Carousel of Progress John


When I first saw this figure, I'll admit it looked a little weird. But once you get used to it, you'll notice that this figure was actually designed rather intelligently. Each side of this vinyl represents one of John's outfits from each scene in the Carousel of Progress. My favorite touch on this vinyl is the fan in John's back pocket. The fan is held by John in the second scene and has "Niagara Falls" written on it, but I like how Glenn Winters changed it on the vinyl to show the Carousel of Progress logo instead.

In the first scene, John wears a shirt and sweater, seen on the front of the vinyl and the figure's left arm

In the second scene, John wears a blue shirt and bow tie, seen on the front of the vinyl and on the figure's right hand. He also holds a Niagara Falls fan

In the third scene John wears a red sweater, seen on the back of the vinyl

In the final scene, John wears a blue Holiday sweater seen on the back of the vinyl
