Leonard.

Leonard Thevinylmation will likely be appearing in this blog, so I'd better explain. This is the story of Leonard and where he came from.

Leonard is a Vinylmation I bought during my short stint as a Disney CP employee in 2011. He's 9 inches tall, red and dislikes banjo music and open flames.
If you've never heard of them, Vinylmations are these little Mickey Mouse-shaped statues that come in various sizes and designs. They have some sets that you can choose which you get and others come in blind boxes and you try to collect them all. Just check eBay. They're sold in the parks and stores all over the world. Some are blank and you can decorate them yourself.
I bought one with the intention of decorating him...but it ended a little differently. He instead turned into a kind of "Flat Stanley" or "Roaming Gnome". Instead of being decorated or autographed he gets his picture taken in various places.

There are enough pictures of him that I had to expand my little Facebook photo album (The Many Adventures of Leonard) into his very own Profile so "our" friends could tag him. He actually has over 50 friends and more than 200 pictures on Facebook. Insane right?

I've developed an affection for him and some people who have seen him on Facebook actually get excited about "meeting" him. He's developed his own little personallity.

Leonard has been on adventures in 4 states and that's only the beginning.
