Now they didn't have Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal or Oogie at World of Disney... and it may have been $12.50 @ WoD as well.

Pinocchio kind of creeps me out, too.

I'd love to have Jack and Sally, though.

I'm not too fond of these. But then again, I didn't like the vinylmation characters either when they first came out...they have since grown on me (with a few exceptions).

Perhaps these will be the same way, who knows?

The vinlymation ones make me wonder why someone thought it was a good idea to do those. They're kinda creepy.

I don't like the cuties either...I like my characters the classic way thank you....

But I do like some of the vinylmations...like the electrical parade, monorail, muppets and the attraction related ones

But the idea of shelling out bucks for a figure I may or may not already have is not appealing...

I just saw the ones for the Muppets the last time I was there and took a photo of Beaker on my phone. I would get the Muppets ones and maybe get the electrical parade for my mom.

Yeah, the muppets line had just come out when we were there last month, and I thought they were cute. But some of the vinylmation characters are downright ugly/creepy.

I think they are a little on the weird looking side. I suppose if I had children that really wanted one I would give in, but for myself, nah!

That's exactly my sentiment on it Amy. I think they look freaky, but my boy wanted Buzz and Dumbo. I caved... :roll:

If you think the vinylmation figures are ugly, check these out...this is what the topic is about.

I used to think the vinylmation figures were all ugly, but I have grown to like some of them.
