2014 Vinylmation Isle Awards

Welcome to the 2nd 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. Thanks to everyone who voted! (Vinyls were only eligible to win in each category if they were released between January 1 and December 31, 2014).

And the winners are...

Favorite Disney Artist

Maria Clapsis

Maria Clapsis wins Favorite Disney Artist this year, thanks to your votes. Some of her work in 2014 includes: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Flotsam & Jetsam, Jawa & R5-D4, Cranium Command, and Queen Minnie. I think Maria's work has been impressively diverse this year, from Villains and Park figures, to Star Wars and artsy D-Tour vinyls. (And congratulations Maria on your wedding in 2014!)
