Anybody ever see a 9" create-your-own Vinylmation??

[cgattis]

I've been searching for a 9" create-your-own Vinylmation for my DD since SWW. Have had no luck finding one and now someone shows up online with six of them. Here's my question....did ALL the create-your-own (solid color) still have the basic molded features (nose, buttons, etc)? These look oddly smooth.....but come from a reputable seller. Ive never actually seen one of the white ones in person. Any tips?? TIA!!

PS, tried over on the Collectors forum with no luck. Maybe someone here can help...??

They have the white ones at the Emporium and other larger stores at the parks now.

So do they still have the molded features--nose, buttons, etc--or are they just smooth?? Thanks!!!

I have a 9" glow in the dark one that looks like a regular vinyl just bigger. It has the eye and nose, but mine is many years old. I'm not sure if they changed them or not. I took mine around the World Showcase and has all the countries sign it with Merry Christmas.

I believe they looked like this.

What?! How do you create it though? Is that something you do there? Or do you just buy a plain one to do whatever with it??

They used to (might still) have stickers available to decorate them with. You can also use colored markers or paint to decorate them.

What I did was take a 9" white and drop it off at Guest Relations on the Disney Dream during a cruise and had it autographed by the characters.

I think that's the same one I saw on eBay. The solid colored ones have raised features; this one is smooth. I also saw a big lot of small white smooth ones recently that sold with no bids. Just afraid the smooth ones might be fakes...?? But they may just be different. Was also wanting to do signatures.

I did the Christmas around Epcot thing with a photo mat, and saved the whole bottom for American Santa and Mrs., and then the handler was quite adamant that they wouldn't sign and basically told me not to ask . so it didn't turn out like I'd hoped. Plan to try to fill in with stickers or something instead.

Anyway, if anyone can confirm they've seen the smooth white ones in a store, I'd greatly appreciate it!!!!

When we where there in Oct, the white ones were in stock. I don't remember if I saw them at D Street at DTD or in the parks. We got the glow-in-the-dark ones for autographs on our Disney cruise last year.

The mold used to make them was changed.

Hey!! Thanks so much!!! Looks like the ones I saw are NOT fake BUT I can probably get one cheaper from Disney! A win-win for me!! Thanks DIS-ers!!!! I can check one thing off my Christmas list!

This was September at the Villains shop in DHS. Saw them several places.

We have two white ones covered in autographs as well. We love it and the characters love it. And we put them on our mantel and get to show them off yes everyone knows we are disney dorks

DS12 had been wanting one of these and I thought they were discontinued. I just showed him and he really wants one. Hope they have them in 18 days. How much are they?

 

[HopperFan]

I'm not 100% sure as we decided to wait but the number sticking in my head is $29.95. I was given this card at another shop, you can call, order and they ship items they sell at parks. (Yikes, that picture came out big )

 

[BuzzBelleMom]

Thanks for the price! Showed this thread to DD and she wants one, too. I love how helpful everyone is here on the Dis

 

[Valgoof]

Oh man. Now I want one!!! I wasnt going to do autographs, but that is just too cute!!

Are these still in the parks? Hopefully someone just back or still there could answer if they have seen them and how much they cost.

Otherwise I was going to resort to calling the Disney Parks Merchandise line to see if they have them, but I wanted to avoid the shipping cost and more importantly, having to haul them down to DW. Hualing stuff back is a different story,

Thanks

Bumping. Still looking for someone that has seen these this week in the parks. We fly down tomorrow. Thanks.
