Item Description
14.5" tall overall. Marked on reverse "Kent Melton/Bulldog Studios Production The Rocketeer © TM 1990 Dave Stevens". Extremely Limited Edition. Plaque under base is labeled as #045/500. Research shows that no more than 50 were produced and this may actually have been the last one made. Sculpted by Disney artist/sculptor Kent Melton. After receiving a bronze statue, Randy Bowen admired the piece so much that he obtained the license to produce it, in cold-cast porcelain. The resin edition size was 1,000 pieces and was cast to have a bronze-like finish. (See item #2813). Bronze is Mint as issued. Resin base has a .75" area defect that looks like a chip on a flat portion, not offensive. Great sculpture of "The Rocketeer" striking a heroic pose with comic book style rocket pack. Hake Guide price of $2,600. A rare and highly sought after bronze.
