Walt Disney Classics Collection - WDCC

[Qsk50]

The WDCC has been around since 1992 and I'm sure most of you have seen them while at the parks and The Art of Disney Store in DTD and even Disneystore.com.

My collection is boxed away since right now since I do not have room to properly display them.
That still does not keep me from picking up a few pieces every now and then :)

Here is the latest addition to my collection. The detail is amazing.
I love all the little creepy crawlers. Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I need to get Jack and Sally. The fence looks really cool :thumbsup:

[Annvds]

Nice piece you both have.
I'm also a collector in need of a proper display, so all my pieces are also still boxed.

I have to many pieces to put a picture of each, but here you can see all I'm having : http://cid-03b73c649e228253.photos.live.com/browse.aspx/WDCC

[Qsk50]

Ann that is an impressive collection. I like how you keep an inventory of it.
That is a great idea that I may have to borrow from you.
Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

I love the Trick or Treat series :)

Are any of these really valuable? Im just saying because there is a hole in the wall place in the mall that has TONS of these for really cheap.

Alot of those pieces are pretty much retired and some are getting pretty pricey!! :( where is this hole in the wall you speak of??? :)

[Allie086]

not usually a big fan of NBC but I love the Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas

Its in my local mall, next time Im board Im going to go over and take inventory, see how much each piece is. There is alot of Single figures. No crazy sets or stuff I really wanted, like the Hitch Hiking Ghost set.

[tigger for 4]

i like how the they put the smallest of detail down to the worms on the base. Great collects everyone. Haunted do you have time with the new baby to get bored? Take the little one out for a walk to the mall, get used to it dad, have to take her there.

[clement]

Oogie Boogie is nice but I found it too big to fit in my collection....but it's a nice piece !

[Qsk50]

This is something I am really looking forward to seeing. Not sure if it will find itself
into my collection since I have been spending all of my $$ on vinyls.


TIM BURTON’S THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS Deviltry, singing skeletons, and undersea mayhem make things merrily macabre as the demented denizens of Halloweentown welcome their Pumpkin King in their own wonderfully warped way. While sweet rag doll Sally looks on amidst the eerily animated bony band of the vocalizing Skeleton Tree, (plussed with pewter and real rope cord) the delighted Devil (plussed with pewter tail and feet) and the charmingly repellent Undersea Gal (plussed with pewter arms and neck) give Jack the highest compliment possible: he made flesh crawl! Behind the scenes, the puppet kings (and queens) animated 227 individual characters for the grisly engrossing tale, leading to the creepy characters celebrated by these ghoulishly spook-tacular sculptures.
Sally with Skeleton Tree: Otherworldly Ovation. Numbered Limited Edition 750
Shipping Nov 2010 MSRP $399

I was an avid WDCC collector at one point and somewhere within the past few years, the value of the collection has MAJORLY declined. Its almost like a car, the minute you drive it off the lot, the value drops. The ones I own, I love and that is the only reason I still have some. Some pieces do keep their value such as convention pieces or even the NBC ones (since they have a huge following), but recently, you could easily get these pieces discounted. At one point, they were at TJ Max. A lot of the blame has to do with the way they were managed. I really don't think Enesco really knew how to handle the collection the minute they took it over from Disney. Since they took over, the Walt Disney Collector's Society was suspended and most of the pieces ended up retired and in liquidation. You can tell the quality difference from the older pieces to the newer ones has gradually declined as well. Most of the pieces now are produced in small editions of 500 to 1000 with some open ended editions and yet they still sit on shelves and I saw a few that were limited to 500 over at TJ Max last year. The height of this collection, in my opinion, occurred somewhere between 1997 and 2002/3. That's just my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I love the collection, but I literally went from buying every single piece to hardly buying anything at all simply because its very discouraging to see what its become from what it once was. The point is, collect it cause you love it, for what its worth to you.

On a brighter note.....the NBC pieces are wonderful, especially the original Jack, Sally, Zero, Dr. Finklstein, Lock, Shock, Barrell, Oogie Boogie, and Mayor. The Lock, Shock, and Barrell ones were once very hard to come by since they retired them soon after they were released. They use to go for about $200 a piece on eBay, but I think you can get them much cheaper now. I LOVE that set and would recommend it to any fan of NBC.

[Qsk50]

It was great while it was not being handled by Enesco :(
I still buy one or two a year if the design is something that appeals to me. Nothing compared to what it was, like you said, years ago but every now and then they will put out a piece like the Sally above that I want.

There is also a Christmas Carol Ebenezer/Marley piece that I want :)

http://www.magicofmitzis.com/wdcc/4010349.jpg

[RickP83]

Yes....I did buy that one. Most of the pieces done by Ruben are amazing and I have been waiting for them to do Christmas Carol pieces for years, but I still miss the scenes with individual pieces that they use to make. For example, the Little Mermaid Under The Sea scene is one of my favorites from the collection.

I love WDCC I buy mine from Gallery of Lakes because they have payment plans. I loved going to the Art of Disney when I was little and looking at all of the different figurines and now I finally have some of my own!

[Qsk50]

Ray from Gallery of the Lakes is awesome. I love the no tax/free shipping he has.
You have some really great pieces Nimini. I love the Little Mermaid scene and Cinderella, well, that's just classic.

[RickP83]

I buy from Ray too...he's great!

Rick

[qrx87]

She'll love it when she sees it, she just doesn't know I ordered it yet. I get 20% off anything that my local comic shop can order, so I had to get it. It'll go nicely with the rest of her tinks in a detolf that's pretty much full. Time to buy another!

[Qsk50]

Well that's even better, a surprise :happy:

[mickeyfan1999]

I love this thread because my first love it is WDCC!!!
I wish I was good with the picture thing, LOL!!! I have a total of 403 WDCC pieces.
Qsk50 I used to order my WDCC from Gallery of the Lakes too, now I buy them thru SACC in CA.
I REALLY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM ALL!!!
Happy WDCC Collecting everyone!!!
I love the NBC series and but I lost 2 pieces during the move.
My favorite one is my Snow White the soup signature piece.

[Qsk50]

Oh I would so love to see your collection. Im certain it's great!

[mickeyfan1999]

Does anyone have any of the convention ones or signature series ones? I really love them!!!

[Qsk50]

Does anyone have any of the convention ones or signature series ones? I really love them!!!

My collection is very small and in boxes at the moment :(
I have the 101 Dalmatian series (not all), Beauty and Beast dancing, Oogie Boogie, Zero's house, and a few others that I don't really remember.
Maybe it's time to go through the boxes and inventory :idea:

[mickeyfan1999]

You have several really ggod ones!!!
Enjoy your collection!!!

[bkhhi]

My first piece was Bambi with Flower and my girlfriend has the Field Mouse. Sadly to say buy both of our collections are in storage.

[clement]

I'm collecting mostly Villains, and I'm eagerly awaiting Yzma that should come out soon...well I hope.
In Europe the new piece are very slow to arrive... when Tiana came out in September 2009 in the USA, we were supposed to get her in November .....then it was pushed back to March so I decided to buy it on Ebay......then it was pushed back again to June ...and then to September 2010.... and now we're almost in November and we still haven't got it....
It's a pity for European collectors and in DLRP the WDCC shelves are quite empty....

[JEP]

I have four WDCC. Mr. Incredible, Sulley, Spotlight Collection Minnie, and Chicken Little. Was suprised with Chicken Little, so much better looking in person than in pictures. :)

[SherKhan72]

I use to collect WDCC, which I might go back again, lol. The last piece I bought was the Haunted Mansion 999 Event WDCC Oragnist which is limited to 500, I can't remember what's my number. I still wanna get the Hitchhicking Ghost one. But the two piece that I really, really, really would love to have is the Maleficent Dragon WDCC and Chernabog WDCC. That's like my "holy grail" lol. I think when I get back fully into it, I'll concentrate on the Villains first, but there are others that I like.

Tinkerbell 2011 Winter Event Piece

http://www.biggsltd.com/Assets/images/products/WDCC/4002127_X.jpg
This is a must figure for me. I'm wondering how much will this cost.

[kyr]

Wow! i didnt even know they had collectibles like this!

[Qsk50]

This is a must figure for me. I'm wondering how much will this cost.

It will retail for $125. I'm looking forward to the NBC Sally with the tree. Still waiting for it :tap:

[SorcererDonald16]

It will retail for $125. I'm looking forward to the NBC Sally with the tree. Still waiting for it :tap:

Funny how her sitting on the same leaf (more or less) was $99, and this variation is $26 higher. Heh. Of the newer stuff, I most want the Cash Register Concerto (Scrooge) piece, but will need to find it at a steep discount. Paying $199 for that is just not going to happen.

As for NBC, do you mean waiting for your dealer to get it in? Because I know that piece is already out; several people already have it. One dealer apparently reported a packing issue with it that causes the skeletons to break in some cases, so this may be Milkweed Ballerinas Part 2 where they have to remake them and then create new packaging as well. Enesco never learns. :bonk:

On a side note, will try and take some pics of some of my collection tomorrow and upload and post them. I have a lot of WDCC, and wish I could own more. Space is too much of an issue though.

[Qsk50]

I'm waiting for Gallery of the Lakes to send me my piece :cross:

[SorcererDonald16]

I'm waiting for Gallery of the Lakes to send me my piece :cross:

In which case, hope you get it soon! And in one piece, too!

My goal is to eventually have a complete IASW collection, all of the Donald pieces, all of the Scrooge pieces, and all of the Little Mermaid original "Under the Sea" pieces, with some others thrown in.

My ultimate dream would be to own every piece ever made except for NBC pieces (I don't like that type of movie; too creepy for me), but since I am not a millionaire, that won't be happening. Unless I hit the lotto! :idea:

[Qsk50]

I got my NBC Sally and tree today :happy:
It's too late now to unpack it but I will tomorrow and post pictures!

[Qsk50]

These two are on my want list :)

ooh, thanks for those previews, Qsk50!!! Those look great :)

I recently started collecting some of these pieces. I have 10, I think. I love them - each piece is so well made and beautiful.

[Qsk50]

:agree: Very well made and detailed. I love how Tink looks like she is barely hanging on in this piece. I love most of the Tinkberbell pieces. There's one where she is standing on a mirror that is just awesome, I love that one!

I love Wendy trying to kiss Peter Pan with Tinkerbell pulling Wendy's hair. Why do I have a feeling that I will be collecting WDCC again once I get back to work.
I love Disney Villains but the Old Hag looks different to me. Maybe it's just me.

[DisneyJ]

I located a store that is selling their WDCC for 40% off. I may have to take a look. :happy:

Share! Do they have a website?

[DisneyJ]

Unfortunately, there is not a website for the store. I will have to see what they have for sale.

[Qsk50]

Bummer that they don't have a website. Maybe you can get their phone number and hopefully they do mail order :shrug:

[little miss vinyl]

I have Snow White and all seven dwarfs playing musical instruments -- it's not on display in the case I used to keep it in for two reasons; caught DD trying to dance with the Snow White figurine :yikes: and now we display our VM in that case since it's at a child's eye level:lol:

They are currently sitting amongst my hubby's Star Wars and Star Trek model ship collection awaiting a new home.
