Vinylmation Urban Series 2

Here's another weak set of these Vinylmation figures, but it does have a few gorgeous highlights. Shall we do a countdown? Sure...

12 & 11. UGLY tie
Cogs Urban Blue Bear and Urban Green Bear
I just don't understand why they made these. Disney related? No. Cute? No. Creative? No
On top of how useless these are to the collection, they plan on releasing more of them in future urban series. I hope they seriously reconsider this. So useless. Someone please try and justify these to me...


10. Paint By Numbers
This doesn't make sense. You can barely see the paint by number: numbers, so one is obviously not gonna paint this. It looks ugly close up, it looks ugly far away. Pointless, pointless.

9. Glass Half Full
This is a cute Urban vinyl idea. A glass that is half full with a cute straw in it. At least on paper it was a cute idea, because in person, the straw is not painted on the back. I don't get it. I doesn't make ANY sense!! Its sloppy, not exciting to look at. Yawn!

8. Patch Work
Kind of cute, but in person the colors are GROSS. His button eyes are too high up. If you are into steampunk-y type stuff, you'll think this one is cute. It fits the Urban bill. But I just don't like it.

7. Girlie
Um, I am not 6. What if you are a dude? This is dumbzilla. Period. Bleggh.

6. Chinese Writings
I don't know what this Mickey says. What if it says something innapropriate? Who knows? I wish that it translated to a chinese menu. It's BORING to look at. The only fun thing about it is that they used glossy paint. So far 6 weak figures...

5. Green Tea (Chaser)
By far, the UGLIEST, most uninteresting Chaser figure yet. I thought Pongo was a weak chaser... Compared to this hot green mess, Pongo looks like a masterpeice. I like that it looks like an actual Mickey while retaining the Urban art style, but still, it's just lame. The only reason to buy this is to sell it on eBay because it is the Chaser. AND the buttons on the stomach are so high, it looks like a pig face on his belly. Im serious. LOOK!

4. Chocolate Mickey Bar
FINALLY! A figure worth throwing in your collection! This one is painted up to look like the familiar Mickey Ice Cream Bars sold in Disney Theme Parks. Cute.
3. Cosmos
Not much here. Nice to look at. Fun stars and galaxies. Better than the rest.

2. Confetti
This is REALLY fun. It is a clear Yellow figure, decorated with Mickey confetti. Nice change of pace for the series.
1. Cartoon Mickey
This is one of the coolest figures of ANY series. Bright Yellow with classic Mickey cartoon credits on it. Awesome looking for fans of the vinyls as well as fans of classic Mickey cartoons. I absolutely love it. It is the only one I can say that about. Currently on display in my room... suckas.
