The Backside of Vinyls - Wet Paint Donald


In honor of Donald Duck's birthday yesterday, today I wanted to take a look at the back of the Wet Paint Donald Vinylmation from Park #6. This is another example of a figure that's not necessarily obvious at first glance, especially if you're only looking at the front. But, if you turn it around, you can see more clearly that this is a Disney World Wet Paint sign in Vinylmation form.


I remember seeing these signs growing up at Disney World, I particularly remember their presence at Disney's Old Key West Resort, which required constant re-painting to uphold its signature bright colors. The signs show Donald in a panic because one of his nephews has been playing in the wet paint. This Vinylmation includes so much of this sign's detail on the back: the hand prints, the dripping paint, the smudged paint, the paint brush and of course the wet paint wording.

I love the creativity of adding all of that detail on to Donald himself, instead of trying to portray a sign on a Mickey shaped figure. Fantastic back side of a vinyl!
