Olszewski Gallery of Light: "Sleeping Beauty Castle"

 

      Olszewski Studios created a Gallery of Light box in honour of the Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle. It was released in Disneyland Theme Park in Novemeber 2010 and limited quantities were available. The castle itself is designed with persistence to recreate the original, as you can see here. The fireworks in the background change colours as Tinkerbell flies by in the sky. The shadow of the Walt and Mickey "Partners" statue that is cast upon the walkway adds an impressive finishing touch to the piece. Olszewski Studios did a magnificent job at capturing the magical feeling of Disneyland. This Gallery of Light box is 4" H x 5" W x 6" L and comes with a wall charger for optional use.

Disney Store Exclusive Limited Edition Rapunzel Doll

      The Disney Store Exclusive 17" Rapunzel doll from Tangled is the fourth princess to be released in the limited edition collector doll series. She is produced in a limited edition of 5000 pieces worldwide, complete with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity. Rapunzel's dress is inspired by Renessaince-era fashion with a lace up bodice and intricate sleeves, followed by a velvet embellished satin skirt that features details which resemble her paintings in the film. Her magical hair shines with golden highlights and she holds a hairbrush in her left hand. Overall, Rapunzel's character was excuted very well by the designers and she is absolutely stunning. This doll was made to debut with the release of Tangled on Blu-ray/DVD March 29th, 2011. She sold out quickly on pre-order months before her release.

9" Vinylmation Villains: Series 1

        The 9" Vinylmation Villains were released in Disney Stores and online on Monday, March 21. The 9" villains are limited to 700 pieces of each character and come with a bonus 1 1/2" junior vinylmation. The three sets that were released include Malificent with Sleeping Beauty, Jumba with Stitch and Julius with Minnie. They arrived online at about 2:45 AM central time, with Malficent being the first to sell out within hours, accompanied by Jumba and Julius by 7:45 AM central time. Each guest was alloted a maximum of 2 orders per character. Select Disney Stores in the US recieved a limited amount of each character and stores sold out quickly. We were devasted to have missed the opportunity to purchase Malificent but are very fortunate to have gotten 2 sets of both Jumba and Julius. Jumba and Stitch are designed by Dan Beltran while Julius and Minnie are designed by Gerald Mendez. Both these characters are a perfect choice for the Mickey vinylmation canvas. Jumba's eyes and mouth fit magnificently into the head sculpt, as well as Julius' chin. Placing the junior vinylmations in the 9" figures hand was a great idea to top off their villainous embrace.

     Olszewski Studios created a Gallery of Light in honour of the Disneyland Theme Park: Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in 2007. It was made exlusively for Disney Theme Parks and sold out very quickly. This shadowbox entitled "Pirate Jail" features the scene from the attraction where three pirates attempt to lure in the key bearing dog. The piece is plussed with a real rope and lit with amber LED lights to imitate the lanterns' glow. Olszewski Studios did an impressive job at recreating the scene with persistence.



Pirates of the Caribbean Snowglobe

     This Pirates of the Caribbean snowglobe was released for The Curse of the Black Pearl. It features the helmsman skeleton at the wheel of the ship, ontop an isle of treasure. The automatic blower swirls glitter around the globe and pushes the skeleton in a circular motion to appear as though he is steering through treacherous tides. The tune "Yo Ho" also plays when you wind the crank. This Disney Store exclusive snowglobe is hard to come by and is only available on the secondary market.
