Following Mr. Javey's topic about Disney Traditions I will be making this for the Walt Disney Classics Collection.

Today I brought myself a membership of this club, because I got money back in taxes. I already own to figurines from the collection:

Does anyone else collect these figurines?
My dad's been a member for the last few years, it's a great club, and it produces fantastic models :)
They really are beautiful forza, I've seen quite a few of them in Collectables at Newcastle. Some of them are really expensive, but worthy of price.. :wink: :D
They are very expensive Javey and that is one of the reasons that I do not have that many figurines, but I agree with you - they are well worth the price and I cannot wait to receive my membership :mrgreen:

If you don't mind me asking, how much was it.. :mrgreen:
Thanks :D ! Well it's obvious why you like the Donald ones :lol: .
If my memory serves me well, I think I bought Admiral Duck for approximately 200 euros.
Actually there is a great site with lots of info, concerning upcoming releases, prices, facts and all the figurines that the WCC has released so far.
That's the site: http://www.wdccduckman.com/ (http://www.wdccduckman.com/)
Thanks Helmsman, yeah my liking was a bit obvious wasn't it.. :lol: :lol:
€200 in 95..Mmmm, well the Euro rate at that time I know was 1.46 to 1GBP, so that would have been £136.99 in our money. Not a bad price then, though now you might aswell say £200.. :shock: :roll:
Also thanks for the link, I'll be savouring that one on my favourites.. :D
P.S. Love the Avatar... :D/
Well I have a thing about "Pirates of the Caribbean" and especially for the Hurricane Lagoon scene where the Helmsman Pirate is :D ! When I saw that WCC released this particular scene from the ride, it was an instant buy :mrgreen: !

I totally understand the reasoning behind your purchase on this one.. :mrgreen: It really does look magnificent.. :D/
Wonderful collection - I especially like the "Donald Then & Now" which I was very close at buying when I visited DLRP in October. :D/

Allthough this figurine seems a bit disturbing: :P

Mickey's obviously been playing the Sonic Unleashed game.... And fancies a go at the wild world of night himself...
I will say that is one scary model and would scare the life out of me at night!
I think it might be called 'Mickey at Halloween' .. :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

Always a pleasure. :wink:
I love all the WDCC pieces, i have them on home video which i recorded at DLP but they are so expensive i havent bought one yet and even if I had the money i would be so conflicted about which one to get because I would want them all! lol!! :P
Oh I love the WDCC pieces, though I could never afford them! I've got two very empty-looking shelves in my living room that I think need filling up though! :lol:
I just came back from my Halloween trip at DLP and I bought two more WDCCs :D/ ! They were the ones I had on my list for some months now :D .
