The Villains Store

[pamelaz]

OMGish!!! DID I JUST READ THAT THEY TOOK OUT SI and AM out of the Villain shop?!?!?!?!??!?!??! I might cry!!!!!!!!! I am SO glad I took about 20 pics of them last time we were there.......

I'm so sad I'll never be able to experience this.

I have found Si&Am on eBay, but that has also become scarce. There are a few nice pins, there now. I started my collection, with the Disney auction pins. I am fortunate to have a nice lanyard of nothing, but the Siamese duo.

Meow!

Can someone tell me where the Villains store is?
Also do they sell Siamese related items (from Lady and the Tramp)?
I saw a picture of a big Siamese in the store....is that still there?

I'm here with my Siamese girl on my lap, Xanadu, and thought this would be fun (plus I'll be missing her while I'm away).

Thanks!

Don't even waste your time. the villans store is a misnomer. It's the Nightmare before christmas store with a candy section.

You may find some thing from pirates of the Caribbean and you will find stuff from Hannah Montana (because she is such a great villian. ).

I have an old sleep shirt that has a picture of the 4 female villians saying "we need our beauty sleep". it is about 10 years old and about to fall apart. I use to make it a point to go there every trip. I hate it now!!

Once upon a time, the Villains store was one of the most unique locations in all of WDW. The did indeed have Si and Am merchandise... along with Maleficent, Ursula, Scar, Chernabog... you name it. You could count on finding items here that were no where else.

As Disney began to phase out the unique merchandise, you started to see more and more Jack Skellington and Jack Sparrow items. Now, that is the ast majority of what is for sale here - and most of these items can be found at other WDW stores, anyway.

I have started a facebook group for bringing back quality and variety to WDW merchandise. Like the page, and join us!

Also, please do indeed let Disney know how you feel - email them.

Want to see a sample letter? Here's a link to the one I sent - it's long winded, but it did at least earn me apersonal phone call from Disney.

the Villans store at HS used to be SOOOO awesome . It really had merchandise that was only villian specific. They had sericels, shirts, action figures.... you name it. And it was all the villians... Cruella, Ursula, Wicked Queen from Snow White, Jafar.... it was FUN!!!

The last time we went in....BIG DUD. it was mostly Pirates stuff and candy. WTH ??? that's not exactly villian stuff !! To me, Pirates aren't "villians". They're PIRATES. Make a Pirate store !! Yeesh.

Then you turn the corner to another gift shop.....same old stuff in that one, different sign on the door. Bring back the VILLIANS !!!!

Agreed 100%. Email guest communications. Join the facebook group. Annoy Disney.

I have actually decided that Hot Topic has better Disney stuff than Disney themselves. Found Mike and Sully shirts there this past week. Also they have several villains and kingdom hearts shirts.

Oh, I did join the facebook page ..... and I did email them and got a nice generic letter. "they were going to pass my email to the appropriate departments". I don't have alot of confidence. but the more of us that send them, they can't ignore them all !

I am a huge fan of Jack Skellington and The Nightmare Before Christmas so I always enjoy browsing in this store. It sounds like it was an amazing store in the past and it would be nice to see it brought back to it's original glory. Having a greater selection of merchandise would benefit the store, and make all of us happy!

There's not much in the way of merchandise here. 1/3 of the store is a candy shop and another 1/3 is devoted to Jack Skellington stuff, and the last 1/3 is a mix between Pirates of the Caribbean and Vinylmations. there's a few tee shirts with the Evil Queen on them. No Si and Am merchandise that I've ever seen.

I believe they have removed the sculpture and I know there is a big Vinylmation in there now but I don't think it is in the place of the sculpture.

Being a huge Nightmare Before Christmas fan, I guess I really hadn't noticed the lack of actual villain merchandise lately, as I was so focused in on all the Jack Skellington stuff! I'll be sure to send off the email and join the facebook page, because I definitely want them to bring it back to the way it was!

This obviously isn't Si and Am, but for those who collect items related to Siamese cats, this may be of interest: http://www.disneystore.com/that-darn-cat-pin/mp/1287041/0/

Anyway, I totally agree with others about the lack of actual villain items in Villains in Vogue. I kind of hate to say this on this site (since so many people here are parents- know that I'm speaking in general, not blaming your kids specifically), but my guess is they phased out villain stuff because too many little kids are scared of them. That's also most likely why you don't really see them at meet and greets much anymore outside of the Halloween party. Sad.

Ok I have a funny story about the now terrible villian store. Last week while we were in Disney my dd's started trading vinylmations. Now they are new to this so when they went in to trade at the Villians store we were not expecting what happened. The CM's gave my dd 8 a real hard time and said her vinylmation was not able to be traded because it was not from a series, blah blah, blah. I tried to explain to the CM that she traded at another location to get this and they gave me a hard time . With that a young teenage girl was listening in and seeing that my dd was almost in tears, asked her if she would like to trade with her! What an angel she was! The CM was so flustered she did not know what to do. As we walked out my dd8 then said to me... are you ready for this... and I quote "THE ONLY VILLIANS IN THE STORE ARE THE CMS"! I think she was correct!

I've been meaning to ask this same exact thing for a while! I, too, collect Si & Am stuff (yes, I have a beautiful and evil Siamese named Otter). I've seen photos online of Si & Am shirts people have bought there in the past. One had the cats and it said "chillin like a villain" and the other shirt had the cats and said "innocent little darlings." I wanted those so bad and was hoping they would have them! It's a shame the store gas gone downhill

Don't get yourself too excited about the store. It is really a huge disappointment. It used to be a lovely store filled with awesome merchandise; now it is a Pirate, Jack Skellington and ugly Vinylmation store. Shopping in Disney in not what it used to be.

There was a time we used to go and spend $1500 in shopping on a single trip. Now we bring back 1 ornament and that is pretty much it. Not because we dont have the money to spend, but because Disney has "dumbed-down" all of their stores, filled them with cheap junk and duplicated it across all of the stores.

 

[Goofy_Girl]

Thanks all for your quick responses - that sounds like a sad store right now!
Does anyone know if there are any other "cat" items around (to buy or see) - bonus points for things I can buy my kitty family (4) too..

Thanks

Sadly when I was there last year I was told that WDW was phasing out their pet themed products when I purchased the place mat with all the Disney cats on it and I was looking for the matching bowls. Made me said I didn't buy them the previous year

 

[Tigger2252]

My DD will be so disappointed to find out that the Si and Am statue is gone! She is a huge villain fan and over the years has collected 3 lanyards full of villain pins. Unfortunately the past few trips have yielded no new pins. I have the same problem with Tigger merchandise. I did one of those computer surveys my last trip and did complain about the lack of merchandise outside of Mickey and Tink. I basically told them I had money to spend but nothing of interest to spend it on.

I honestly don't know why they still call the store Villains in Vogue when there is nothing remotely tied into villains in the true sense of the villainous characters. Sorry, but to me Jack Skellington is not really a villain and neither are pirates.

 

[MASKED MANIAC]

The Villians store was great when they sold Villian toys and Merchandise....now they have nothing.....Villians get a raw deal....

I actually had that shirt, but I found it at Wal-Mart of all places! (Years ago, they don't carry it now.)
