When this series was introduced in <B>Fourth Quarter 2004</B>, rumor had it being a 4-piece series but nothing more was released after <B>Hercules</B> and <B>Mulan</B>.<BR/><BR/>As Michelle said, I don't believe they sold well, hence why we never saw future releases.<BR/><BR/>I personally liked them. I prefer full color over the bronze but felt they have their place. I have the bronze resins of two of the characters at the <B>Hub</B>, Dumbo and Pinocchio and they make great accents on top of my curios. Always felt the WDCC bronzes had more of a <I>masculine</I> appeal and would look great in a den or study, either on a desktop or mantle.<BR/><BR/>These pieces created a lot of uproar when announced but nice to see others weren't so put off by them.DC Pop Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336354661732301642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-3390611354093390392007-08-20T11:20:00.000-04:002007-08-20T11:20:00.000-04:00This is turning into an interesting thread and a c...This is turning into an interesting thread and a chance to look back at past series (both member and non-member).<BR/><BR/>Michelle, I agree with you on <B>Tribute Series</B>. Given this series was to get around the <I>original premise</I> of the collection and each release in that series ended up having additional releases later, don't see this one as a contender.<BR/><BR/>Interesting you mentioned the <B>Celebration Series</B>. This is one series that many either forget or ignore. Can't tell you how many times I had to prove this was in fact a series. I see a potential blog post :)<BR/><BR/>My gut feel is the <B>American Folk Heroes</B>. At least that is what came to mind first. I wouldn't mind seeing the <I>rebirth</I> of the <B>Portrait Series</B>. For those who attended the <B>2004 WDAC Convention</B>, potential <I>future</I> releases were given as prizes during the luncheon--<B>Maleficent & Briar Rose</B>, <B>Snow White & Dopey</B> and <B>Cruella & Lucky</B>. All looked great!DC Pop Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336354661732301642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-63098738640755501572007-08-19T11:36:00.000-04:002007-08-19T11:36:00.000-04:00Hi KushalI doubt the Gallery Edition would be revi...Hi Kushal<BR/>I doubt the Gallery Edition would be revisited as I don't think they sold very well, esp since they were bronze colored versions of pre-existing colored sculptures. If they came out with a stand alone Gallery Edition sculpture just in the bronze coloration, that might sell better depending on the subject matter, jmho. I personally liked the colorized versions better.Babettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604342324444626516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-33841416270836871862007-08-19T08:36:00.000-04:002007-08-19T08:36:00.000-04:00Does the "Gallery Edition" figure as a possibility...Does the "Gallery Edition" figure as a possibility???<BR/>Would love to see some more stuff like that!Kushal Ruiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855079985815459101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-45292110256641672222007-08-18T19:46:00.000-04:002007-08-18T19:46:00.000-04:00OK,I'll take a stab at the A Past Series will see ...OK,I'll take a stab at the A Past Series will see a New Release hint. In doing my research, I've narrowed it down to these series:<BR/><BR/>Dreams Come True Series – only 1 official release in this series<BR/>Animator’s Choice 2001 last year for it<BR/>Duo Series – 2003<BR/>American Folk Heroes 1996<BR/>Portrait Series – only 1 official release in this series<BR/>Tribute Series – 1999 Mulan was the last one<BR/>Celebration Series – Canine Caddy last release of 4<BR/>Walt Disney Studios Holiday Card Series – 2005<BR/><BR/>Of the ones above, I'm going to eliminate the Animator's Choice series since that was to be based on the 9 old men. <BR/><BR/>I'm also eliminating the Tribute Series since that was tied to the release of a new animated movie. None on the horizon right now.<BR/><BR/>And I'm also eliminating the Holiday Card Series.<BR/><BR/>That leaves:<BR/>1) Dreams Come True<BR/>2) Duo<BR/>3) American Folk Heroes<BR/>4) Portrait <BR/>5) Celebration <BR/>Series left.<BR/><BR/>My guess would be either 1) 3) or 4), although 4) is my personal wish and highly unlikely, so most likely 1) or 3).Babettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604342324444626516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-42328130339916181472007-08-17T15:13:00.000-04:002007-08-17T15:13:00.000-04:00I bow to the master.
