The Symphony Hour statues
For a long time, many collectors of Walt Disney figurines thought that the large statues in this set were so-called ‘store display’ statues. In other words, statues that were only produced for stores to promote the WDCC line.
After extensive research we found out that this is not the case. These big statues where produced for regulair sales to customers, just like the WDCC statues. The artist behind these statues is Stefan Toth. He designed these incredible populair statues. Read more about Stefan Toth and his works for Walt Disney right here.

Assembling the complete set of large statues is a significant challenge. Some statues are rarer than others, making them difficult to find. Many collectors are still on the hunt to complete their collections. The rarity of these pieces only adds to their allure and value. Each statue represents a unique part of Disney history, making the search worthwhile. For those dedicated to the quest, every new addition brings immense satisfaction and pride.
