About the Author
I'm Greg Gaines, creator of the first Vinylmation Web app at VinylmationWorld. I have been a collector since the first day that Series #1 went on sale. As my collection grew, it was hard to keep track of which figure came from what series, especially when out trading, and so I created a website with a mobile platform that allows anyone to read the latest Vinylmation news and to view virtually every Vinylmation made. You can even download a handy checklist in PDF format to help keep track of your collection.

Of Sushi, Sparrows, and Sea Creatures

Of Muppets, Pirates, and Shapechangers
APR 15 It's a surprise to some that Disney, through Marvel, owns the Muppets, but they do, and as Greg Gaines reports, they've got the Vinylmations to prove it. Greg also has the latest on the new Pirates of the Caribbean 9" and a change coming to Vinylmation.
