It was super cool to have Lampwick in this set. Great to have some characters released that have not been previously done.
ReplyDeleteSorry to see him go and hope he'll be back again some day!
I too was glad that WDCC did Lampwick. This was truly a great scene, touching on the Pleasure Island Sequence of the film.
ReplyDeleteDue to lack of space, I only did Lampwick from this scene when released, thinking this could be our only chance to get him.
Would love to see WDCC do him as a Donkey Boy and more from the Pleasure Island Sequence like Alexander and the Coachman.
My fear, given esoteric characters not doing well these past few years, chances of seeing them are null :(
Would love to see Alexander and the Coachman.
ReplyDeleteThere are some folks that are always clamoring for the rarely portrayed characters, but then don't seem to support when they are released... don't quite understand...
Lampwick was so well done.
Agree Matthew. Over the years have seen collectors campaign/request more esoteric characters vs. the more popular, mainstream characters to not see them supported. Some examples .. Medusa, Scat Cat Scene from The Aristocats and the Festival of Fools Scene from The Hunchback of Notre Dame to name a few.
ReplyDeleteWhen you see the more popular characters sell out an edition size and these more esoteric characters end up discounted (almost given away) at TJMaxx, Marshalls and even Disney Shopping over the years, highly doubt we'll see characters like the Coachman and Alexander. Rather sad :(
Someday, I'm hoping to see a piece with Pinocchio and some of the marionettes as well.
ReplyDeleteAlways thought they'd make great WDCC sculptures.
ReplyDeleteA great sculpture could be Pinocchio dancing with one (or more than one). Always liked the dark-haired one.
It would include a popular, mainstream character plus one or more esoteric characters. Win-win situation for all!
Hi Matthew and Don,
ReplyDeleteI agree that WDCC should add Alexander and the Coachman. I thought the same thing with Lampwick as a donkey boy. That would be really cool and great to do with the Pinocchio one.
My favorite scene not done yet would be the marionettes scene. Just thought it would be hard to get the marionettes with the strings.
As some of you know I would be elated with anything Pinocchio, especially Jiminy!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlexander and the Coachman would be a GREAT addition, it could even be done as a signature piece(wishful thinking). Would love to see Jiminy sleeping on the neck of the violin or Jiminy with his hand on the butt of the girl.
There are still so many pieces that could still be done from this film.
I would LOVE Jiminy on the violin...
ReplyDeleteJeff, Bob & Matthew,
ReplyDeleteEven though we've been lucky with all the releases so far from Pinocchio, couldn't agree more, there is still a lot they could do!
Jeff - Still campaigning hard for Alexander and the Coachman. Thought maybe we were getting close when they released the Pool Table Scene from the Pleasure Island sequence of the film.
Lampwick as a Donkey Boy would be both a great piece and nice companion piece to Pinocchio as a Donkey Boy, throw Alexander into that mix and we'd end up with a great scene!
As Matthew & I were discussing, they really need to consider doing the Marionettes, nice to see there are others who would like to see them done as well. Listening Enesco? ]:)
Bob - Jiminy proves to continue to sell well, both your suggestions are great! Would especially like to see him done with the violin!
it's simply amazing..one of the best pieces i have!!
ReplyDeleteI made a blog (like you), about my statue collection...divided into categories...If you want to check it out, u r welcome!!!
I love this blog of yours!
Thanks for the kind words. Sincerely appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI did check out your blog. Liked the layout and some very nice images/angles of the pieces!
