In my last Vinylmation post, I went over the basics, like what Vinylmation is, how you can buy the figures, what they do, blah blah blah. For the most part, I only try to get the figures that appeal to me most (but since this is mostly a blind boxed series, you end up with some that you wouldn't go out of your way for, but you don't really want to trade away either). But there are some series that are worth going back to again and again, trying to get as many characters as possible. In this post, I want to look at some of those series.
STAR WARS
Well, of course I would be excited about the Star Wars figures! Sure the figures are cute, and you would think the Mickey Mouse shape would take away from the look of the characters, but it all works out. They use the Mickey ears to add some view of the character's background environment, and it actually comes across nicely. So far I haven't been able to get a lot of the characters that I really want, but it's a start. If I can get Admiral Ackbar when I go this year, I'll be happy.
There are actually two Star Wars series: One featuring the regular Star Wars characters, and one made up of classic Disney characters in Star Wars costumes. They're both pretty cool, but I still lean towards the regular Star Wars series.
