~ Ultra Rare ~ Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove ~ Statue / Maquette ~ CAST & CREW MEMBERS EDITION Description Use Buy It Now and be sure to get it in time to give as a gift this Holiday Season !!! First let me point out that this is brand new, it has spent its entire existence in its original box and only just now came out for the pictures I took! I have never seen this maquette ever up for auction on ebay before so do not wait till its gone since you may never get another chance to get one to add to your collection! These were given to Cast & Crew members at the Disney Animation Department celebrating the release of the film. T were only 2,400 made. It is a full size maquette measuring about 9" x 6" x 11". ALSO INCLUDED WITH THIS AUCTION!!The official Emperor's New Groove Patch. These patches were only given to the members of the animation department when the film was released. These are of excellent quality and are quite big as far as patches go. Since it is a promo it was never the same one released to the public and very hard to find! About Maquettes: A maquette is a hand-crafted 3D model that animators use and reference when animating a character. A maquette helps bring consistency, along with model sheets, among the drawings of the same character by different animators. In the mid 1930's, the character model department began creating three dimensional sculptures for use by animators in addition to their model sheets, line drawings, and color sketches. These clay reproductions allowed the animators to better represent the characters in their two dimensional animations by having a 3D model as a reference. After an original clay sculpture was created, a limited number of models were cast, painted, and distributed to the animators. Walt Disney himself was very impressed with their quality. He gave many of them away as gifts to VIP's for souvenirs. Maquettes from the Golden Age of Disney are so rare that many collectors do not even know of their existence or use. Some of the maquettes were made in smaller sizes to shoot a projected light over them and see how the shadows should be drawn. Today, these maquettes can only be found in the Walt Disney archives, in rare animation collections of private individuals, and in occasional auctions. IS ONE SUCH AUCTION !!! In 1999, the Walt Disney Art Classics (WDAC) raised new interest in the release of maquettes to the public. With the release of Tarzan, the Walt Disney Art Classics made available an edition of 1,000 sets of reproductions maquettes. However, these maquettes were unpainted and were much smaller in size than the original studio models. They sold as a set of three for $450. The sets were composed of Young Tarzan, Tantor, and Terk. In June of 2000, the WDAC released a second set of three maquettes from the film Fantasia 2000, also in an edition of 1,000. Since 2000, the WDAC has not released any further maquette reproductions. However, occasional maquette reproductions of a single full size character have been created as a gift for the cast and crew of the newer animated films, including an adult Tarzan from Tarzan (see my other auctions for this maquette available!) and Kuzco from The Emperor's New Groove (This is the rare maquette for auction !) . Though not for public sale, these maquettes are highly sought after since they were never made for public sale. They were in a total edition of 2,200 to 2,400 pieces. The person this collection that I am offering is an actual artist for these movies and still works as an artist for Disney, he is making these available for public sale! This has a low number of 297 on the brass plate on the bottom of it. The picture one from the last is of the large emblem on the top of its box. The last picture is of the patch included with this auction! This comes from a smoke free home. Condition New condition Includes Kuzco Maquette and origina...
