Sculptor
Kent Melton
From day one, Kent Melton has been a sculptor for the Walt Disney Classics Collection and is regarded to be one of the most important sculptors for the collection. He tries to make his maquettes and sculptures capture the essence of the character.
Each Walt Disney Classics Collection sculpture bears a backstamp with Walt Disney's signature and production year mark. The marks symbolize major milestones in Disney history. A production mark represents the calender year during which the particular piece is made. Individual sculptures of an open edition piece may carry different marks when production continues over the years.
Postcards were either mailed to collectors by Authorized Dealers to announce their participation and/or included in either Sketches or Newsflash mailings by the Walt Disney Collectors Society
