Vinylmation



Vinylmation is a series of toys sold exclusively at Disneyland and other Disney theme parks, beginning in 2008. The series features miniature figures of Mickey Mouse in various stylized forms.

The Mickey figures are painted to resemble various characters and objects from Disney theme parks, including a Matterhorn yeti, the monorail, Figment (from Journey into Imagination), the Wicked Queen's poison apple and the Disneyland fireworks.

One figure in the set resembles Kermit the Frog, billed as "Kermit Mouse." Kermit's trademark eyes fill up the space used for Mickey's signature ears.

A pin of the same design was also released in the set of Disney pins.

Muppet Series
An upcoming Muppet Series of Vinylmation figures was displayed at a June, 2009 event for Disney pin collectors. The series is reported to be scheduled for late 2009 or 2010. The series includes Mickeys painted to look like Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Statler and Waldorf, Bean Bunny, Rowlf the Dog, Beaker, Sweetums, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Rizzo the Rat and "Disney Tourist Kermit". An upcoming Disney pin was also displayed, picturing a Vinylmation Rizzo dressed like Mickey Mouse.
