I wasn't interested at first. Surprises are no fun. I told myself not to. Then I said "just two, since they're on sale." I got two that I really wanted.... and then I got more. And now I want more. Toxic, addiction enabling environment, I tell ya!!!
(for those who don't know about Disney Vinylmation, they are collector's figures, and most of them are in mystery boxes.

OK, seriously, I first thought "some of these are cute, but I only want certain ones. I don't want to blindly buy these and end up with something I don't want." Finally decided to buy two, since they were part of a Purchase with Purchase promotion. I got one from the Animation #1 series, since I really liked how those came out. I was really hoping for either Aladdin, Fairy Godmother, Alice, or Pinocchio. The other was from Toy Story, and I would have been happy with any one of them. Bought them, ripped open the foil, and was sooo happy to get Aladdin and Lotso. I said "YES! That's it, I'm done. I don't need to buy anymore!"
The Villains series has been out, too. I was disappointed that their is no pretty Evil Queen from Snow White, but her "Witch" thing came out pretty cool, especially with the poison apple. I also liked Ursula and Cruella, but that's it. I saw someone with the Jafar chaser, and it looks really cool! But, not enough for me to want to risk buying something I didn't want.
.... Short time had passed, and I decided to try for a Villain, and ended up with Stromboli. Ehh, don't love it. Tried to get another one from the Animation series, but got a second Aladdin. (if I had the money to splurge, I'd buy a whole case.)
Cutesters Too came out, and like before, some were cute, others I didn't care for. I pretty much don't care for the people dressed in costume, or whatever. OK, so I guess that means I like most of the series, the top ones being the Gift Wrap, Mushroom, Candy, and Donut.
Finally decided to buy a Cutesters and another Villain. Got the Mushroom :) and Kaa (not too excited about that). Then I went on a spree. Got the Fairy Godmother, YAY! Two Pinocchio, but was able to trade one out for Buzz Lightyear. My most recent Vinylmation purchase was a Villain, and I was so happy to get the Evil Queen Witch!!!
I really don't have the money to spend on a case of the Animation 1 series, so I hope I'll find someone who wants to trade my Aladdin, Kaa, and/or Stromboli.
The Muppets 2 releases tomorrow, but I'm not too interested in it. I'm upest that I missed out on the 1st Muppets series. Mainly because I didn't know these things existed until they were sold in stores, and I hadn't visited a park in years. :( boo-hoo for me.
Now, I just want to buy them, so I can rip them open and see what's inside. You win, Disney, you win.
