One of the most unique items available at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts has found its way online.
The artist Joe Ledbettter— a k a JLed— has translated his surrealistic style into 3D figurines (The black and white limited editions are only available at the Port of Entry store.
The collection features Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy and Pluto. Each comes in a diorama-style display box. You have a one-in-four chance of finding an alternative “chase” colorway of the figure in your box. Each figurine sells online for $29.99.
Ledbetter found inspiration for his early art in comics, 8-bit video games, skateboard graphics and classic animation. His first vinyl characters, Mr. Bunny, Fire-Cat and Ringo Bear, were part of the vanguard of the designer vinyl toy movement in the early 2000s. He’s also well-known for his Kaiju for Grownups series.
While he’s known for his vinyl figures, Ledbetter also is a painter, and he has created a print titled “Before” featuring the same 6 Disney characters for the Arts festival.
This is his first collaboration with Disney. The vinyl figures debuted last fall at Disneyland and have now found its way to the east coast—and to Shop Disney. Here’s a close look at all of them:
