Today I'm looking at the back of the Lights, Motors, Action! figure from Park #10. I love the use of clear on this figure! This is another example of a figure where the back side is a continuation of the front of the figure, and for that reason is extremely similar. This figure is technically based on the Disneyland Paris original version, but the show is identical at Walt Disney World. What I love about the back of this figure is the nod it gives to the attraction's origins.

This vinyl depicts the finale from the Lights, Motors, Action! show pictured above. The red car flies out from a Provenรงale building, over flames, as fireworks go off either side of it. We can see the flames on the back of the vinyl's body and feet, underneath the car that we can see represented on the back of the vinyl's head. The fireworks are featured in each ear of the Mickey figure, which positions them perfectly either side of the car, just like in the show.
What you may not know, is that in 2005 "The Happiest Celebration on Earth" was launched at Disney Resorts worldwide, to celebrate 50 years of Disney Theme Parks. As part of the celebration, attractions were imported from one Disney location to another. At that time, the Disney-MGM Studios received Lights, Motors, Action! from the Disneyland Resort Paris. The license plate on the back of the car on this figure reads "DLP-92", in recognition of the attraction's genesis at Disneyland Paris, which opened in 1992.
I've said it before but I'm going to say it again - it's the inclusion of little details that blow me away sometimes with Vinylmation!
