You know that i'm a Disney fan since a long time and in one of my previous life as journalist i was invited at many Disney events and park's Grand Opening. Many of you asked me if i had kept interesting press material and collectibles from these events and today i've decided to open my personal "vault" and put on sale in exclusivity for my Disney and more readers rare press collectibles and even a one-of-a-kind Imagineering model! Some of these collectors have an affordable price, and few others are more expensive as they are really rare collectibles.
How does this private sale works? Very simple: from the moment the collectible you're interested by is still listed below OR if it's not written "SOLD", it means that it's still available and you can buy it.

NO 1: DISNEYLAND PARIS SPACE MOUNTAIN GODDESS WDI RESIN MODEL :
Price: ITEM SOLD!
There we go with the first item, and this one is coming from Imagineering as it is a one-of-a-kind 24" high Disneyland Paris Space Mountain goddess WDI model. Walt Disney Imagineering attraction models are extremely rare, and specially those of such famous attraction like Space Mountain. This model is in resin and shows the goddess that one can see on the side of the huge Columbiad cannon, part of Disneyland Paris Space Mountain. The pictures and artwork below will show you where the goddess is located on the cannon.
Here is the story of this model: When WDI Imagineers create an attraction, they always build models of it. Models of the whole building, and also models of special parts of the attraction decor. I bought this beautiful model eight years ago from a former imagineer. This model was given to him - while he was a WDI Imagineer - by another imagineer working at WDI model shop. Here is the reason: when a resin model is done, it's always with a mold. When the resin is "dry" they take it out of the mold. Sometime everything works fine, sometime not. In this case the model went out a bit broken and some tiny parts missing - the top of the fingers of the hand holding the bow and a tiny bit of the ribbons on the feet. The model was stick again and it was so well done that you can't hardly see it. However, as at WDI everything must be perfect they don't use an almost-perfect model and re-do it again, this is why the model shop give it to the imagineer from whom i've got it some years later.
The design of this Sky Goddess was inspired by the famous art-deco style, and the sculpture by WDI sculptors is so fine you can see any detail. It will be easy to create a stand for it, or simply to put it against a wall. As it is in pure resin it will be possible, too, to paint it if you wish. As i've said, it's 24 inches high, and its thickness is between 0,5 mm and 1 cm depending which part of it you're looking at.
A beautiful one-of-a-kind rare and unique collectible item for Disney theme park fan!
Because it is a fragile item, it will be sent in a wooden box specially designed for it to make sure it arrives in perfect condition, And of course it will be fully insured for the price you will pay, include shipping price. Shipping in the wooden box is 85 U.S $ in air mail shipping from France.
