by David Yeh on May 8, 2013

Coming this weekend to both Disney Resorts is the long awaited release of Disney Vinylmation Park Starz Series 2.  We didn’t talk much about Series 1 but there’s a certain character in this series you’ll be sure to want to get your hands on: Rex or RX-24!

The Disney Parks Blog has more details on the release of this collectible line-up.  It reveals that “Rex from the original Star Tours attraction was designed for Park Starz 1,” said Casey Jones “I’m glad he finally made it — better late than never!”

The rest of the series includes Orange Bird, It’s A Small World Hippo & Holland Girl, Carnotaurus (Dinosaur), Pirates of the Caribbean Redhead, Maelstrom Troll, Tower of Terror Bellhop, Jungle Cruise Baby Elephant, Tapestry of Nations Puppet, Mark Twain, and Haunted Mansion Gus. There’s a secret chase figure to find and that is Wally Boag from the original Golden Horseshoe Revue.

Happy Hunting!
