WDCC Old Witch Figurine, 1995

In only their fourth year of production, the artists behind the pieces coming out of WDCC were making quite a statement. The quality and detail of this particular figurine is simply striking.

Take the Apple, Dearie, the Walt Disney Classics Collection 1995 Fall/Winter Event Sculpture was released September 1st of that year. Created by artist Kent Melton, the Witch stands 7" tall. It's long bony fingers are sculpted in metal, the nose is painted to highlight the wart, and a new glazing technique gives the clothes a real fabric texture. Retail price: $130 (USD).
