Disney Vinylmation Park Starz Series 1 - Pirates of the Caribbean & Abraham Lincoln

On Friday two more figures from Disney’s Vinylmation Park Starz Series 1 were announced! Park Starz takes classic characters from Disney Theme Parks around the world and reinterprets them as unique collectible vinyl figures. The two new figures announced today are a Skeleton Pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean and Abraham Lincoln, our nation’s 16th president. If you’re wondering what Honest Abe’s connect is to Disney’s theme parks, here’s a little history lesson: The Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attraction debuted in the State of Illinois pavilion at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair before moving to Disneyland on July 18, 1965. Mr. Lincoln also appears in the Hall of Presidents attraction at Magic Kingdom.

Created by Disney Design Group artists Thomas Scott and Casey Jones, Park Starz Series 1 includes 11 characters and one “mystery chaser” figure. Unlike previous Vinylmation Series, each of the 12 figures in Park Starz Series 1 will be completely different. Disney Vinylmation Park Starz Series 1 will be released in mid to late October 2011.

Disney x Span of Sunset Key Dog Vinyl Figure

Hot on the heels of Disney's first ever D23 Expo and the announcement of a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Span of Sunset presents one of the most iconic Disney characters ever. Known for its starring role on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, the Key Dog is an iconic part of Disney story-telling lore and you can now add him to your designer vinyl collection!


As Disney continues to take over the urban vinyl landscape, The Blot continues to be amazed at which characters Disney chooses to give a designer vinyl makeover to. Never in a million years did I think the Key Dog (or Chernabog for that matter) would be immortalized in vinyl, but here he is! It really gives collectors hope that their favorite obscure Disney character will be next.


The Key Dog comes with a realistic key and squeak bone, and will be packed in the deluxe window box packaging seen above. Expect the Pirates of the Caribbean’s Key Dog to retail for around $50 each.

Disney Finds Its Leading Man In Depp

After helping Disney to earn $2.6 billion with the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, the House of Mouse is locking down Johnny Depp with a three picture deal. (link) Depp has proven over the past 5-10 years that he really is a top tier talent with the ability to open even the most eclectic of movies. It is just unfortunate that this deal includes Depp reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth Pirates movie.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. But similar to the Matrix trilogy, each subsequent movie has gotten worse. Now the Pirates sequels are no where near as bad as the Matrix sequels, but you get my point. Hopefully the upcoming fourth Capt. Jack Sparrow movie will benefit from a new and unconnected storyline. Also as part of the deal, Depp has agreed to star in the Jerry Bruckheimer produced remake of The Lone Ranger as the masked hero’s sidekick, Tonto.


And rounding out the three movie deal will be Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Depp will star as the Mad Hatter, a role he was born to play. The movie, scheduled to be released in 2010, “will be shot using 3-D and performance capture technology similar to that used for Beowulf.” (link) It sounds like a very cool project, and I cannot wait to see Burton’s bizarre take on this children’s classic. Alice in Wonderland will mark the seventh time Depp has starred in a Tim Burton directed feature film (Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)
