This Disney CRUSH & SQUIRT sculpture is a must-have for any Finding Nemo fan. The intricate details of this WDCC LE 603/1500 figurine truly capture the spirit of the beloved characters. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this rare and beautiful piece of Disney magic.
THIS ITEM IS NEW IN THE BOX, NEVER TAKEN OUT, DISPLAYED, OR REMOVED FROM ITS VERY INTRICATE PACKING.
I only opened the box to take pictures of what I could without disturbing any of the very carefully packaged foam. I only took off the top layer of foam and peeled back some of the plastic overlay to show you what the sculpture looks like. This is such a delicate piece, I didn't want to take a chance on hurting anything. It is the same way it arrived from the manufacturer.
THIS STUNNING SCULPTURE IS 7 3/4" HIGH AND WAS EXPERTLY SCULPTED BY DISNEY ARTIST DUSTY HORNER. IT SOME IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX AND PACKAGING WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY SHOWING IT IS NUMBER 603 OUT OF 1500 MADE.
Since I wasn't able to take pictures of everything, I found some pictures online of the sculpture out of its foam packaging. You will notice that there are specific instructions on how to remove the piece, so be sure to follow them carefully. (Another reason why I didn't want to disturb any of the original packaging.)
Whether you are considering purchasing this item as a gift, or just to add to your own Disney Collection, it truly is a magnificent piece that represents the special relationship between Crush and Squirt.
Here's a little info on Finding Nemo I found on Wikipedia:
Finding Nemo is a 2003 American animated comedy-drama adventure film] produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Stanton with co-direction by Lee Unkrich, the screenplay was written by Stanton, Bob Peterson, and David Reynolds from a story by Stanton. The film stars the voices of Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres, Alexander Gould, Willem Dafoe, and Geoffrey Rush. It tells the story of an overprotective clownfish named Marlin (Brooks) who, along with a forgetful regal blue tang named Dory (DeGeneres), searches for his missing son Nemo (Gould). Along the way, Marlin learns to take risks and comes to terms with Nemo taking care of himself.
Here's a little about the Walt Disney Classics Collection from their website:
The Classics Collection started in 1992 with three scenes, Bambi, Cinderella, and Fantasia's Sorcerer Apprentice. Many other series have since been introduced. Some figurines are limited, and some have been retired. Some of these figurines have risen high on the secondary market. The figurines are made of porcelain, and the process is similar to that use to make Hummel figurines. Individual pieces are molded, put together, and fired in an oven. Then they are painted and fired again. Each figurine is marked on the bottom, signifying the year it was produced. The marks represent significant milestones in Disney history. The figurines with the first year mark are usually the most desirable.
