My ‘Hollywood & Dine’ cel arrived yesterday, and I’m absolutely thrilled with it. It’s already hanging in my office next to my
‘Key to the Kingdom’ WDW 40th Anniversary Ink and Paint cel. Besides the work, of course, I just love the pin and the postcard autographed by the artists. Another great piece and subject matter!
Any news as to if they are going to have another trade event at ESPN in June? They said it might be every other month when I went in April.
the artist showcase by Greg McCullough these are the lithographs that are sold in the parks in the Art of Disney stores for around $15-25 somewhere in that price range Am I correct?
Susan, the prices, styles and formats vary, but I believe you will find something around that price range.
Will the Beauty and the Beast series be released online as well? I’d love to collect them, but I won’t be in the parks until August.
Good news Sarah, the Beauty and the Beast collection will release online on June 21, 2013 as well.
I don’t see the Park Starz 2 variant 🙁 is there a release date for it yet?
You know Katie, I’m not sure but keep an eye out on http://www.Vinylmation.com. In the meantime check out the following link. http://disneyparksmerchandise.com/blog/vinylmation-park-starz-2-arrives-at-disney-parks-on-may-10-2013/ The images aren’t available just yet, but should be closer to the release date.
My vinylmation collecting son is gonna be so excited to know that there is an artist signing for the Monsters University Series 1 while we are there on vacation next month!
