Enesco Unveils The Walt Disney Archives Collection at D23 Expo! (Part 1 of 3)

I recently attended the D23 Expo held at the Anaheim Convention Center (August 14-16, 2015) in California. To the surprise of many, Enesco, LTD. unveiled a new line .. the Walt Disney Archives Collection!

This line, by the same team who brought us the Walt Disney Classics Collection, unveiled this new line based on maquettes actually used in the films. The initial releases touch on early films (Pinocchio and Fantasia) and current films (Frozen) and shorts (Get a Horse).

The sculpts are based on actual maquettes, down to the texture and coloring. For fans of the Walt Disney Classics Collection, these maquettes will make a nice, added addition to your collection. This entry features upcoming releases from Pinocchio, Fantasia and Get a Horse!
