Description
Who better to help celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Collector's Society than Jiminy Cricket from the beloved film Pinocchio (1940)? Appearing in 1993 as the original Membership Gift Sculpture, the little cricket with the big personality is back by popular demand. Jiminy Cricket was the Member Gift Sculpture for those collectors who joined and/or renewed the Walt Disney Collectors Society in 2003. Bag Handle: Bronze. Backstamp: Each sculpture has a commemorative 10th Anniversary backstamp.
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.
A fine art print of the original animation drawing that inspired this year's Walt Disney Collectors Society sculpture was sent to collectors upon processing of a new membership and/or renewal.
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
