Holy Grail of Vinylmations

[kbritton]

Where can I find a list with pictures of all the vinylmations?
I need some sort of reference to go by...

What ones are the most sought after? Maybe top 10??
I really dont have a clue I read something about a chaser, a pork chop, it all sounds foreign to me

What is the average price for the 3 inch vinylmations at Disney World?

Is the 3 inch the most common to buy and trade?

I have till the fall of 2012 to get ready. I have 3 kids that I know are going to absolutely love them....

Thanks kb

This article talks about the most popular series:

3 inchers are the ones people trade in the parks.

If you want to know which individual vinyls are most popular, do a search on ebay for "disney vinylmation" and change the search preference to "price +shipping highest first." Scroll down and that should give you an idea of what is most popular.

Good luck!

A chaser is a less common Vinylmation in each series. Each of the blind box (one you can't see before you buy it) series has eleven standard figures and one chaser. The blind boxes are packed in trays of 24, two of each of the standard, one chaser, and one "extra" standard. So, the chasers are a lot less common.

There are also variants: these are the same figure as one of the standards, but with different colors (normally). They're really rare, and you'll likely never find them in the trading boxes.

What is the average price for the 3 inch Vinylmations at Disney World?

The current price is about $13. Some of the older series sell for a little less, but I'd assume most will cost about $13.

Is the 3 inch the most common to buy and trade?

Yes, only the 3" are traded in the parks. There are plenty of 9" to buy, but those cost a lot more (think $75).

I was going to ask this on a separate post, but it sort of goes along with this...

I purchased a blind "Cutesters at the Beach" from Disneystore.com, and I got the Sno Cone stand, however, the person in the Sno Cone stand has brown hair, and on the box the person has blonde hair? Are there two versions of the Sno Cone stand? If so, is there one that's more rare?

I think the picture on the box may have been a mis-print. All of the photos I've seen of the snow cone figure has brown hair. The variant appears to be the same snow cone stand figure, except the stand says taco stand.

Thank you so much for the reply. That's so strange! Here's a picture of the box (although it's angled to the side,) you can tell the person in the stand has blonde hair in the picture! Weird :confused

My guess is that the art work on the boxes is done before the figures are physically made. Here is a link to Vinylmation World's photos of the figures for that series (including the variant):
