Movie prop (including Disney movie props) collectors who collect original movie props and artifacts from their favorite films are sometimes faced with a dilemma. What do you do if there are no original item(s) from your favorite film or if owning the original item is cost prohibitive?
That is when collectors may think of purchasing a high quality licensed replica. While the decision to purchase a replica is usually a preference, many collectors have both types of items in their collections.
In the case of Walt Disney’s animated iconic film Snow White, a collector may have the option to purchase a rare, one of a kind original drawing or animation cel used in the film. Both items are original and rare, buy they also are unfortunately scarce and expensive due to that scarcity.
That is when a limited edition cel or collectible could be considered.
Recently I had the opportunity to review such an item.
The EFX Gallery’s Collection Evil Queen’s Heart Box.
Created by renowned sculptor David Kracov, this collectible heart box also includes two original sculptures of the Evil Queen and the Old Hag.
The Evil Queen is holding the golden chalice with the magical potion and the Old Hag is holding the famous apple used to poison Snow White. The heart box is created in solid rosewood with 24-Karat gold and real jade details & includes stone details on the dagger clasp and inlaid enamel panels.
The sculptures of the Heart Box, Evil Queen and Old Hag are one of the most accurate and well crafted replica pieces I have ever seen.
Only 500 pieces worldwide were created, and each piece comes with numbered plaque and certificate of authenticity.
Artist David Kracov’s amazing sculptural style has earned him legions of fans and many of his classic Disney character and theme park ride sculptures have become some of the most sought after and valuable Disney collectibles.
The quality and workmanship on this art piece is nothing short of amazing and should satisfy those collectors of both replica items and Disney. The sculptures retail for $599 and can be found below as well as other outlets.
