One of the types of Walt Disney Collectibles that is available to you is Walt Disney Classics Collection or WDCC, which was originally introduced in the year 1992 at a collectibles show known as South Bend Collectible Show. Three years of work went into the creation of this collection of Disney figurines that involved the input of numerous Disney sculptors and animation artists. The Walt Disney Collectibles were designed to closely resemble all of the animated counterparts that they were based on. These particular Walt Disney Collectibles offer incredible detail work and the figurines are created out of porcelain. Immediately they became a huge hit among fans and collectors of Walt Disney Collectibles.
The first three figures that were released in this collection of Walt Disney Collectibles were scenes that came straight out of the Bambi movie, the Cinderella movie and the Sorcerer’s Apprentice from the Fantasia movie.
Now to date there are more than 100 different Walt Disney Collectibles in the Walt Disney Classics Collection. They have been produced for over a decade and many have become retired in this period of time. The retirements have become common, creating what is essentially a secondary market for collectors that are seeking out these rare Walt Disney Collectibles. With each and every single retirement, the molds are really and truly broken, and what this does is ensures that additional characters will never be created again using these same molds. Some Walt Disney Collectibles are also issued with numbers as limited editions. It should be noted that the Disney company avoids starting off their numbers with the number one. All of these Walt Disney Collectibles carry a specific back stamp that indicates what year the figurine was produced in. Each of these Walt Disney Collectibles is also going to be issued with a COA or Certificate of Authenticity.
Only a year after the Walt Disney Collectibles debuted, Disney introduced a club for collectors that was designed to be an adjunct to the collection. Members of the Walt Disney Collectors Society pay $50 per year to join and they get a free figurine from the club every year as well as access to numerous additional members only Walt Disney Collectibles, a newsletter, a magazine subscription and an annual catalog of the Walt Disney Collectibles offered by the collection. In 1993, the special membership sculpture was a Jiminy Cricket from the Pinocchio movie. The Walt Disney Collectibles market is managed by Enesco, a licensee by Disney. Some of the more original staff members within Disney still work on maintaining the Walt Disney Collectibles club.
If you are interested in Walt Disney Collectibles, this is a club that is well worth joining. It will give you access to a wide variety of different Walt Disney Collectibles, some of which are truly rare and difficult to get your hands on. If you fancy a challenge, it would be well worthwhile for you to check out what Walt Disney Collectibles have to offer.
