Walt Disney Archives Collection - Jiminy Cricket

Jiminy Cricket Maquette

Bryan said...: The Duckman's website lives on! Don, this new line is so reminiscent of the Classic Collection, I hope your website once again becomes the go-to site for news and updates. WDCC retired before they ever did a Coachman from Pinocchio. Now hope is rekindled in my heart! Thanks for posting these new pieces. They are amazing, and I am hoping this new Archive Collection catches on fire.; September 5, 2015 at 3:11 PM
DC Pop Fanatic said...: Thanks Bryan! So reminiscent of the Classics Collection and with the same team behind this line, looking forward to what will be planned for future releases. As you may recall, the Coachman was one I campaigned hard for. I understand there is a maquette of the Coach being pulled by the Donkey Boys. Hoping we see something like this and the Coachman. Hope is rekindled for sure!; September 8, 2015 at 5:29 AM
