Great image of Donald and the parrot!
Surprised at the number of pieces that were retired; still need to pick up a couple of those.
Lots of wonderful new pieces announced though, including ones I've been hoping to see done, like the Werewolf and Fountain from NBC and Mushu. Plus another outstanding release in the new Silly Symphony series: just keeps getting better and better. Can't wait to see what else awaits us in the 3rd quarter, especially the new scene.
Am a bit surprised by the Pirate on Cannon as he isn't actually a commission sculpt and will be available to non-conventioneers assuming the entire edition is not covered by the conventioneers on the wish list. Speaking of which, how many sculpts can a conventioneer reserve via the wish list? And when will non-conventioneers be able to put their names down on the list, assuming pieces remain?
I'm very happy about many of the new releases, especially for Mulan, Mushu and the NBC scene. I love that fountain. I'm still waiting for the Vampires!
It's great that the Disney archives are rich with many characters. There is so much that still can be done with WDCC that makes every quarter like waiting for Christmas!
And if anyone can jog my memory, I'd appreciate it. I don't ever remember seeing a Daschund with the German kids in either SW attractions in the US. Is there one in any of the other Parks?
My favorite is Little Hiawatha. Seeing all 3 pieces displayed together (Ugly Duckling & Mother, Old Mill and Little Hiawatha) this is shaping up to be a great series!
I was surprised how much I liked Mulan. Never a huge fan of this film but the sculpture is quite stunning. Not sure if the pictures caught it but in her sleeve that hangs below her arm and hands, you can see the detail of her hand through the fabric. It's detail like this that sets WDCC apart from anything else.
Can't speak for Disneyland but did ride Small World after seeing the German Small World sculpture and WDW doesn't have a daschund in there version of the ride.
Do we know if Snow and Dopey has a 70th aniversary backstamp? And if so what does it look like? I love this piece.
According to the most recent Sketches (currently mailing), the sculpture will bear a 70th Anniversary backstamp.
I haven't seen an image of the backstamp but assume it will be a scripted backstamp as they've done in the past recognizing an anniversary year.
