Collector of Habit - Fantasmic

For today's installment of Collector of Habit, I'll be suggesting collecting Fantasmic themed Vinylmation, after the nighttime show at Disney's Hollywood Studios. By my count, there are over 46 different characters in Fantasmic, so in the interest of keeping this blog post manageable, I will not be listing them all. (If you can believe it, not all of those characters exist in Vinylmation form anyway). Instead, I will be listing the more major characters from the show as suggestions for starting a Fantasmic themed collection.

In order of appearance, why not start with Mickey from Park #7, the star of our show in the outfit he first appears in:

Mickey gets the party started in his Sorcerer outfit from Park #5:

I think Jiminy Cricket is a pretty memorable Fantasmic character, as the imagery on the water moves on to Monstro, so why not add him from Animation #2:

Next our first Villain appears on the stage, Radcliffe from Pocahontas and Villains #1:

Later on in the show when the princesses pass by on floats, Ariel and Prince Eric can be seen from The Little Mermaid series:

 

Then the second villain makes her way on stage, the Evil Queen from Snow White and Villains #2, who talks to the Magic Mirror from Park #5 before becoming a witch from Villains #1:

 

Another big bad villain appears shortly afterwards on the water projection to the Night on Bald Mountain score - it's Chernabog from Villains #3:

Followed by Jafar from the Aladdin series, who then turns into a snake:

Then Maleficent  from Villains #4 takes the stage before turning into a dragon from the Sleeping Beauty series:

 

Thankfully, Mickey as the Brave Little Tailor from Park #9 saves the day by defeating Maleficent. He then returns to celebrate with friends aboard Steamboat Willie:

 

If you're a big fan of Fantasmic, you might want to choose some of these figures for your Vinylmation collection. Until next time!

Collector of Habit - Up

Welcome to another installment of Collector of Habit. Today I'm suggesting collecting Up themed Vinylmation.

You could begin with the Pixar #1 Carl and Ellie twin pack:

Include Carl's childhood hero, Charles Muntz from Villains #5:

No Up Vinylmation collection would be complete without Russell from Pixar #3:

Don't forget the lovable Dug, from Pixar #1, and his nemesis Alpha from Pixar #2:

  

Mix up your collection by adding a 9" figure, with the Park #6 Up Vinylmation:

If you love the Disney Pixar movie Up like I do, you might want to consider adding some (or even all) of these Up figures to your Vinylmation collection. Until next time!

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:

The Walrus and the Carpenter

Crying Alice Set

  

Park #5 Mad Hatter Set

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!
