Any Vinylmation collectors?

Alas, I did not get Oliver or Francis but I will have them one day, I will!

Until The Lion King, Oliver & Company was my most favorite Disney animated film EVER...and I already have Dodger from the Animation series.

I stil can't give the vinylmation things any consideration given I am annoyed it has basically taken over Villains in Vogue, which was my all time favourite shop at WDW because it was only villain merchandise.

To me, there seemed to be a correlation between a de-emphasis on the villains merchandise in general and the shift at Villains in Vogue. I remember going in there to also see the newest Nightmare Before Christmas items and there reached a point where it was just the same items over and over. They just keep making the same shirts and things without coming up with something new.

I think they feel the collector items like pins or Vinylmation makes them more money because people will want to buy right away whereas with everything else, they know new guests are coming all the time and will find the old stuff new so there's no motivation for new items.

However, they do have two series of Villains Vinylmations which look really cool. There was a lot more villains merchandise when Fantasmic was newer, too.

I'm hoping some of this is temporary budget cutting and will go away in the next decade or so.
