Description
Walt Disney Classics Collection (WDCC) Tarzan fighting Sabor "Untamed" was from a limited edition of 750 pieces, BUT THIS PARTICULAR SCULPTURE WAS "OUTSIDE" OF THIS NUMBER, IT WAS A SALES SAMPLE USED FOR MARKETING AND MAY DIFFER FROM THE REGULAR SCULPTURES FROM THE EDITION. VERY FEW SALES SAMPLES MADE IT INTO PERSONAL COLLECTIONS.This was item #4005404. It was the Fourth release in the Heroes & Heroines Series.
SINCE THIS IS A "SALES SAMPLE" ITEM DOES NOT HAVE THE REGULAR WDCC MARKINGS ON THE BOTTOM. I have taken pictures of the bottom of the sculpture for your reference. ALSO, WDCC SALES SAMPLES DID NOT INCLUDE A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY, SO THIS SCULPTURE DOES NOT HAVE A C of A.
In the regular edition, this sculpture included Plussing:
Spear: Pewter
Sabor's hind legs: Bronze
Sabor's tail: Pewter
I AM NOT SURE IF THIS SCULPTURE INCLUDES THE PEWTER & BRONZE PLUSSINGS, I AM JUST GOING TO ASSUME THAT THEY ARE MADE OF PEWTER & BRONZE...AGAIN, THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO VERIFY THIS.
I used to own a store that was a WDCC Gold Circle Dealer. This sculpture came into my store in a cardboard box with packing peanuts. I have included my personal "Green Box" with this sculpture so that it arrives safely in your home. This box shows signs of wear from extended storage, as this piece has been sold out from the collection for quite a while. Item has been stored in a smoke & pet-free home since I closed my gallery. This piece has never been displayed in my home, and was never offered for sale in my gallery, but it was displayed in one of my WDCC glass display curios in my store before the Numbered, Limited Edition pieces of this sculpture began shipping.
This sculpture includes a Tarzan & Sabor "WDCC" box that I have for my personal set. I have no plans on selling my personal set, so I don't feel the need to save & store this box; but again DOES NOT have a certificate of authenticity, so one is NOT included.
I have taken several pictures of the exact piece you are purchasing. Please look carefully at the photos, since I am using them as part of the item description. I have taken pictures of the sculpture from several angles and the box. This set has been in storage since before my store closed. (store closed in 2014)
PLEASE NOTE THAT TARZAN'S SPEAR LOOKS A BIT BENT, BUT THIS WAS THE WAY IT CAME INTO MY STORE, WHEN IT ORIGINALLY SHIPPED, I FEEL THIS WAS DONE IN PRODUCTION OF THE SCULPTURE AND WAS CORRECTED IN THE FINAL NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION. ALSO, THERE IS A "SPOT" ON THE BASE OF SABOR (PICTURED) THIS IS ON THE BOTTOM, AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE DISPLAY. AGAIN, THIS PIECE IS EXACTLY HOW IT ARRIVED IN MY STORE, YEARS AGO.
