Here are the Marvel Avengers at my local Disney Store yesterday. The Cast Member I spoke to told me they had sold 2 cases that morning and had 6 phone call inquiries about the series.

Collector of Habit - Alice in Wonderland
Welcome to another installment of Collector of Habit. Today I'm suggesting collecting Alice in Wonderland themed Vinylmation.
It makes sense to begin with the Alice in Wonderland series:
I think this is a wonderful 12 figure series with every character I think you could possibly want. You could add to those figures with the Flowers set:
I think the flowers are fantastic for big Alice in Wonderland lovers! They look just like the flowers in the movie and are taken from a very memorable scene. You could also add the various phases of the Cheshire Cat with this twin pack:
This twin pack is incredible! I love the use of clear to show the Cheshire Cat as he disappears, and the expressions on their faces. Incredible! Dinah from the Whiskers & Tales series is adorable and belongs in any Alice fan's collection:
You could also mix up your collection by including some Alice in Wonderland themed 9" figures:
There are plenty of amazing figures to create an Alice in Wonderland collection that I think would look stunning! If you have an Alice in Wonderland collection, I'd love to see it!

The Collector's Space - My Holy Grail Wants
In today's Collector's Space post, I'm going to be talking about my Vinylmation Holy Grails. But let me start by backing up and explaining what that means if you're not familiar with the term. A Holy Grail or a grail, is what some Vinylmation collectors use to describe figures they want that are highly sought after. (Think Indiana Jones!) It could be because the figure is hard to find, has a low Limited Edition size, is expensive to buy on the secondary market, is an exclusive to an event or city, or a combination of those factors.
Here are my Holy Grails that I hope to finally own one day:
This set is a Limited Edition of 500 and was released at the 13 Reflections of Evil trade event in September 2013. This is a grail for me because it retails for upward of $80 against it's original retail price of $44.95. It's also hard to find sometimes, with either no, or only 1 listing at any given time on eBay.
This guy is a grail for me because he can be pretty pricey. He typically ranges from $50-$80 when the figure is new on eBay, after an original retail price of $18.95. You can get better deals every now and again if you keep watch.
Crossroads is one of the early 9" Park series releases and has a very low Limited Edition size of 350, making it very expensive on the secondary market, selling for around $300 on eBay. Maybe one day I'll find a lower price or have a spare $300.
This Vinylmation has a Limited Edition size of 500 and I have NEVER seen it on eBay despite searching for a while. That's why this is another of my grails. I have never been able to find it, but I really want it!
This Vinylmation has a higher Limited Edition size of 1,000 so it's not really considered very rare. However, this is an extremely popular figure and therefore sells for $200-$300 on eBay.
In an ideal world I would own this figure too. It has a Limited Edition size of 800 but not very many are listed on eBay. The price for this figure is around $200 on the secondary market.
I would love to hear what your Vinylmation Holy Grails are! Leave me a comment!
