A Vinylmations Vault look at Chip & Dale
This weeks Vinylmation Vault Features the Dynamic Duo Chip & Dale from a few of my favorite series. These two chipmunks have appeared in nearly ten series. Today I pick a few from my favorite series that these two are featured in.
From the Have a Laugh Vinylmation Series from the classic 1949 short Winter Storage Chip & Dale are hanging out in the ears of the classic Mickey Mold. With the main body representing the tree where they were storing the nuts. Though they are only depicted in a cameo sort of way I just love the crisp and clear depictions of the two guys.
Next we have Chip and Dale as Ewoks from the 2014 Star Wars Weekends 2 Pack. I was excited to add these two to me collection of Disney Characters depicting Star Wars Characters. The detail is amazing on these two. I like the forest background on the Mickeys ears.
Finally my favorite of the Chip & Dale Vinylmation releases are the Pop Corn Series version of chip & Dale. Perhaps it’s the different styling of the Popcorn series or maybe it’s that the face of Dale still has the innocent look but not completely daft look that Dale usually has. I was also fortunate not to pay $24.94 for these two otherwise I would of placed these at the bottom of my favorite list.
The hard this with depicting these two is that that even though they are both chipmunks they both have their own identity. Chip with his dark “Chocolate Chip” nose, single tooth and intelligent and logical look while Dale is more of the goofy and somewhat dim-witted buck tooth appearance which when transferred to vinyl form can give a not to all pleasing look of a stoned Chipmunks, well that’s if a Chipmunk could get stoned but you get the picture. A few good examples of this can be obtained in the Disney Cruise Line Dale Vinylmation as well as 2014 Imagination Gala Cast Chaser Orange & Blue.
That’s not all for these two as they are featured in many more Sets & Series and each one having something special about them so what ever you in a search for my guess is Chip & Dale have been featured in the series.
