I'm not really familiar with Disney's Vinylmation. However, I'll buy anything that has "Penn State" on it! Since I love Disney and PSU I thought I'd like to have it for my PSU collection. Plus I had been looking at it for a while and there was free S&H at the time. The little guy looks exactly like he does on-line and is the size as described - no surprises! I checked "would recommend this item to a friend" only if you collect Vinylmation or PSU items; otherwise I see no value in it.
