Star Wars Vinylmation Series 1 by Disney

Later this week Disney will finally be releasing its highly anticipated Star Wars Vinylmation 3” blind box series. The Blot’s pretty excited for this Vinylmation release, mainly because I’ve always wanted/needed a Boba Fett Mickey Mouse vinyl figure. While the line-up is great, I am really surprised Series 1 so heavily influenced by The Empire Strikes Back (i.e. Leia in Hoth Gear; the inclusion of Yoda, Lando and Boba Fett), and not the original Star Wars film.

Disney Vinylmation Star Wars Series 1 includes Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia in Hoth Gear, Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2, Boba Fett, Yoda, Lando Calrissian and a Stormtrooper. The 12th figure in Star Wars Vinylmation Series 1 is an as of yet unknown mystery chase figure. The Blot’s also holding out hope we get some 9” Star Wars Vinylmation figures as well.

The blind boxed Star Wars Vinylmation Series 1 will retail for $11.95 pre figure. This collection will go on sale January 13th at Walt Disney World and January 16th at Disneyland. These highly sought after collectible vinyl figures should also be available for purchase online at Disney’s official online store at some point in the near future.
