Disney Vinylmation is a brand of three-inch vinyl toys sold at Disney theme parks and other locations. The toys all have a common shape (that of Mickey Mouse) but have different themed markings, colors and patterns. The first figures were introduced in November of 2008.[1]
Trading of figures is officially encouraged and practiced at Disney locations in a fashion similar to Disney pin trading. There are designated places where guests may trade figures with cast members.
Vinylmation figures are sold in sealed packaging. The purchaser does not know which figure they are buying until they have opened it. Figures are sold in series, which is printed on the packaging. Each series contains specific figures (as depicted on the packaging) and has one unknown figure, termed the chaser. In addition to being a mystery figure the chaser is also the rarest figure in each series.[2] Nine-inch figures are also sold and these are visible without opening the packaging. There is also a 1.5-inch Vinylmation Jr. size.[3]
