Two of my absolute favorite parts of Disney are Goofy’s Candy Company and collecting Vinylmations. You can imagine my utter delight when I learned that worlds have collided and there is now a Vinylmation series entirely devoted to Goofy’s Candy Company.
Take a look at the box. Even the illustrations look good enough to eat.
Once you open the wrapper, you’ll find a surprise Vinylmation Junior (these are the mini 1.5 inch size) depicting some form of candy treat. Squeeeee! (Yes, I did just literally squeeeee!)
A few of the Vinyls look like the proprietor, Mr. Goofy himself!
And of course the concept would not be complete without including depictions of two of my all time sweet treat obsessions: gummy bears and rice krispie treats.
Can you even stand the cute?
A few years back, I was crazy enough to attempt to make my own version of the krispie treat Vinylmation, so I’m positively thrilled that the vision was finally executed properly.
One other bit of bonus … all the Goofy’s Candy Company Vinyls come with removable key ring attachment. You can take the ring off and display your tiny faux treats on a shelf, or you can leave the rings on and turn your mini Vinyls into a key ring or backpack swag.
The Goofy’s Candy Company Vinylmations are currently available in the parks, as well as through the Disney Store, both at the retail locations and online. They’re priced at $9.95 each, but you can use your Disney Visa or annual pass to score a discount.
So fellow sweet eaters, what do you think? Will you be buying these Vinyl reminders of your candy crush, or will you be saving your pennies for some actual sugar-based treats? Let us know in the comments below.

I’m not normally a fan of the Vinylmations, but these are really adorable. I kind of want the pink splattered Goofy to go with the green paint splattered Donald vinyl. I’m not sure what that yellow and orange one is supposed to be, a honeycomb, maybe?
They look like fun, the only other jr. vinyl that I have are the Snow White jrs. I buy the standard 3in. I will admit that these are really cute and I’ll be buying some.
🙂
How adorable! I am a huge fan of tiny things and candy, so this is a no-brainer. 🙂 I love the way the did the lollipops and candy apple, with the stick down the middle; very clever!
They should also do the reverse and make giant, edible gummybear-vinylmations and sell them in Goofy’s Candy Company store!! ;-D
I’ve never gotten into the Vinylmations, because I love the trading pins and one vice is enough! LOL But, I agree that these are cute. I like the ‘candy button’ style and the caramel apple, too. They’re just so colorful and fun, and who doesn’t love Goofy’s Candy Co.? I think the removable key chain is a great idea; it’s fun to be able to take them with you if you want. I enjoy wearing some of my pins on and off, especially for different holidays.
These are soo cute and I love that they come with a detachable key ring. I would add them to a chain link bracelet.
i love this series. i’ve been collecting vinylmation for years, and have stuck mainly to the 3″ but this series really got me into the juniors. i still need the cotton candy, gummybear and gumdrops.
