Walt Disney Classics Collection

I may just stop collecting 1/6 and get hooked on Disney!

That's what I have done.

Though I plan to keep my 1/6th Scale Monsters.

They've got alot of Sleeping Beauty pieces, although I think alot have been retired.

Damn that is too bad. Thanks Agent0028. How do these pieces do on the secondary market. I would assume very well.

not really

Hey! its JL, I see you are over here as well as the WDCC message board. I've been collecting alot of Sideshow lately, this is a great message board here.

Welcome aboard JL! Nice to see you over here!

Sideshow is as addicting as WDCC

 

[Agent0028]

I'm planning to stick with Sideshow (in regards to Disney) for two reasons. 1. the PF's will be bigger and cost about the same and 2. they'll be in scale and clearly WDCC pieces aren't scaled except with figures meant to go together. Obviously there are a few exceptions. Like the seven dwarfs that would take up too much space to get all seven and would be more expensive than the WDCC pieces so I'm getting those. Or my Mickey Through the Years collection because I don't think Sideshow will do as many Mickey's as WDCC has done. And a few things here and there that I don't expect Sideshow to do, such as the Prince and Princess waltzes.

Okay here are the newest editions. The flash wouldn't work on the three individual ones so they're a bit yellowish. I obviously need to find a new home for these guys, they're getting crowded sharing a shelf with my books. But I'm pretty much out of space...

The size difference between Brave Little Tailor and the others was abit annoying, but now that I've got more and the sizs basically differ between most of them it doesn't bother me. I think they look good together.

Also you'll notice Steamboat Willie is missing from the picture. He has been sent back for a replacement with the correct COA and that's not broken. I can give a very good recommendation for Disneyana (they supplied the first four Mickey's).

Great gets! Like the Band Concert Mickey. I like how Donald gets the best of him(finally) in that short.

I also have several of the WDCC pieces in my collection, but am wondering if anyone here collects the Olszewski Disneyland Main Street Miniatures pieces? I am two away from completing the series and am hoping to buy the platform to set up my own Disneyland (although where I am going to put it is a whole different issue!).

 

[Agent0028]

I'm not familiar with those and it sounds like something I should avoid seeing, but I'm going to look it up anyway.

 

[Darth Waller]

Do yourself a favor and don't look it up! They are too cool!

I know what you mean! I originally saw some of the pieces and the actual platform set up at the Disney Gallery in 2006. I initially decided to pass on it due to price and the amount of pieces already released and out of stock. But when I saw the Haunted Mansion, with three interchangeable scenes, that was all she wrote. Ended carrying that heavy thing all the way back to Hawaii (Disneyland wanted a hundred bucks to ship it back!).

 

[Aerosmith]

Why don't you post a pic of them. Im to lazy to look it up.

Here is one of the front of the platform. You cannot see all the buildings, but I can put up some individual photos later!

Or some light posts!

WOAH! Thanks for posting that pic!

It gets even worse. Disney has pretty much green lit a Fantasyland, so it looks like Olszewski Studios is going to produce a second base for this section of the land. They've already produced Peter Pan's Flight, Mad Teacup ride, and Dumbo. Upcoming is Snow White, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Pinocchio, and King Arthur's Carousel (which is going to get a11 64 horses sculpted individually! Estimated cost....500 smackers).

 

[forestlite]

WOAH! Thanks for posting that pic!

No problem! Anything for a fellow Disney fan!
