Review: Alice Through the Looking Glass Vinimates
For today’s review, I’m taking a look at the Alice Through the Looking Glass line of Vinimates from Diamond Select Toys. Vinimates are a large scale, non-articulated vinyl figure version of Diamond Select’s popular Minimates line of figures. While the Vinimates character cannot be moved (aside from possibly a rotating head), the larger scale design of the Minimates depiction allows for greater details and a bit more fluid posing. For this series, Diamond Select took four characters from the 2016 movie to make into Vinimates: Alice, the Mad Hatter, and Red Queen, and Time. Let’s check them out.
And here is a 360 look at all four of the Vinimates.
Overall, I do like the brand extension of the Minimates line into Vinimates, but I am not sure that the Alice Through the Looking Glass was a stellar hit. The movie did moderately well, and does have a niche market, but it was not a blockbuster by any means. Still, I have a lot of hopes for the Vinimates brand from Diamond Select, and I look forward to seeing what else they come out with.
Special thanks to Diamond Select for sending these over to review. Want your own set? You can get them now at Entertainment Earth.
