Zimm's Two Cents
What a BEAUTIFUL piece. I'm not a Disney collector, but some of the pieces that they are coming out with are just too fricken sweet.

Points In Favor
  • The Colors - Bright, sharp and clean.
  • The amount of detail in this piece are not usually seen in busts in this price range. The glasses, the coins, the facial expression.
  • It's Scrooge - my favorite Christmas character. Don't ask.
  • Awesome Base. I wouldn't expect this much of a base on a bust.
Points Against
  • Not quite certain about the texture of the jacket or the safe.
Recommendation: Buy. This would be a nice holiday piece to pull out every Christmas. Take a look at the other pics at Sideshow Collectibles.

Wow! I haven't seen this one before. They nailed Scrooge. Disney does great stuff with great licensees (licensors?).

Points In Favor
  • The details.
  • I love the safe base. And all of those coins dumping out.
  • That facial expression is all Scrooge. You couldn't ask for a better Scrooge face.
Points Against
  • Too bad it's not a statue.
  • I gotta figure out where to put it.
Recommendation: Buy. I love it. Of course Scrooge McDuck is my favorite Disney character. I loved Duck Tales back in the day. I'm not much of a Disney collector either. I have a few pieces. This would be a super piece to own.
