Queen of Hearts Vinylmation

Alice in Wonderland is one of my top picks among Disney films. This Queen of Hearts vinylmation was just released recently with several other Alice in Wonderland characters in vinylmation form. 

I wonder why she's so mad...?

Traded: Boba Fett for Upside Down Mickey

I've made my first online trade!! I traded my Boba Fett vinylmation (which was cool) for an upside-down Mickey Mouse vinylmation.

Traded this..

for this!

I think this Mickey is pretty unique and will be a conversation starter. And that's why we wear pins, isn't it?

Delivery!

I just received two packages of pins today, as well as a trade yesterday, so new posts are on the way!!

 

Trader: Sea Serpent

This is the other pin I received in the mystery two-pack of the Vinylmation Park #7 collection, along with the Donald Duck Philharmagic pin. 

I wasn't hoping to get the Sea Serpent (from the former World of Motion attraction), so hopefully I can trade this for one of my wants. There were others in the collection (the Castle Banner and Kali River Rapids) that caught my eye and I'll be looking for those.

Donald Philharmagic

I have mentioned that I was in marching band, so it shouldn't be a surprise that I loved this Donald Duck/Tuba/Mickey's Philharmagic pin. 

Mickey's Philharmagic is totally my kind of thing, and I desperately wanted this. However, the pins come in mystery two-packs (out of a set of ten) on DisneyShopping.com. I knew my odds weren't great to get the one I really wanted, but I was interested in other pins in the collection too so I went ahead and placed the order. The shipping seemed excruciatingly slow, but the pins finally arrived. I opened the first mystery packet to find the Sea Serpent pin, one of the ones I wasn't wanting. When I opened the second packet and was greeted by the pin I wanted very most out of the ten, I was verrry excited. Yay!

Star Wars!!!

It was an exciting time for Star Wars fans at Disneyland while we were on our honeymoon. The revamped Star Tours was about to open to the public, Annual Passholders were visiting for their sneak peek of the ride, promotional videos were being filmed, and we even got to ride twice during a soft opening. One night, we stood right in front of Darth Vader as he watched fireworks in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. I had a hard time deciding whether to watch the fireworks or the filming behind us!

R2D2

C3PO

Chewbacca (trader)

Han Solo (trader)

Darth Vader

Storm Trooper (trader)

These Star Wars Vinylmation pins came with six regular pins and one mystery pin. My mystery pin is of Boba Fett; others include Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Yoda, or Lando Calrissian.
