Vinylmations

Have you heard of them?  I just heard about them a couple of weeks ago.  I thought it was the dumbest thing in the world.

Vinylmations are little figurines that are all shaped like Mickey Mouse, but they have different designs on them. Such as...

The Muppets

 Disney Villains

and Star Wars

They have many, many, many more collections, those are just my favorites.

Anyway, when you purchase a Vinylmation, you know in which collection it is, but you don't know exactly which one you are buying.  It kind of makes it fun, unless you get duplicates.  In that case, it's good to know other people who are collecting them so you can trade your duplicates with their duplicates.

There is a mystery "chaser" in each collection that is more rare than the other ones, and it is the one that is blacked out in the pictures above.

Like I said, sounds like the stupidest thing ever.  Lance's sister got Lance into it, and while I don't fully support it, it's fun for him.  Hopefully he keeps his head on straight, and doesn't buy very many.  At $10 a piece you can easily spend hundreds of dollars on these things trying to get the full collections (just ask my sisters in law).
