The Walt Disney Classics Collection is pleased to announce several sculpture retirements effective August 14, 2007:
Class Dismissed!
From Disney's Lilo & Stitch:
Lilo & Wagon: "Elvis Presley was a Model Citizen"
Stitch: "Perplexed Pupil"
Lilo & Wagon: "Elvis Presley was a Model Citizen"
Stitch: "Perplexed Pupil"
Stitch is actually a 'dry retirement' since there is no inventory available at the warehouse.
Swimming Upstream!
From Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo:
Nemo: "Little Fin, Big Heart"
Dory: "Unforgettable"
Finding Nemo Base: "Coral Reef"
Marlin: "Father Knows Best "
Marlin is actually a 'dry retirement' since there is no inventory available at the warehouse.
The following were honored as a Dry Retirement:
Final Stitch!
From Disney's Cinderella:
Mice in Sewing Basket: "Surprise"
Bye, Bye Kitty!
From Disney/Pixar's Monsters, Inc.:
Boo: "Kitty!"
Surprising that the Nemo piece itself would be retired. The Tank Gang scene's Nemo was a Member's Only last year so it is a closed edition. So now there is no Nemo for "Finding Nemo". LOL
ReplyDeleteMaybe a new Nemo is coming... along with a (I hope, I hope) a Mr. Ray piece! (Can't stop campaigning, can I?!)
Great observation Matthew!
ReplyDeleteWith this retirement, there is no longer an active Nemo for this scene. Does make you wonder, given the popularity of this scene, if we'll see another Nemo.
Keep the campaigning going for Mr. Ray! We made a point to discuss him this past weekend with Traci.
With the popularity of the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage at the Disneyland Resort, I would think (and hope!) there will be more coming from this great movie.
ReplyDeleteDear Duckman,
ReplyDeleteAre you sure for the lilo's retirement ?
She's so young !!!!

website.
I so make choice for gift, please could you confirm ?
Many Thanks
Valery
Hi Valery,
ReplyDeleteLilo is in fact retired :(
Apologize for the Retirement Page not being updated with these latest retirements. It's been a busy summer with work and haven't had a chance to update that section. Do note in the Secondary Guide, they are both updated as retired.
Hopefully will get the Retirement Section updated by this weekend.
Thank you for this information.
ReplyDeleteI will go this weekend in Disneyland Paris to buy my Lilo.
Congratulations for the blog and the site, my only reference for the WDCC.
Your welcome Valery!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of help and thanks also for the kind words regarding both the blog and website.
