A "Babes in Toyland" style head cast from
the early 1960s Disneyland mold. The famous Disney marching Toy
Soldiers first appeared in a Christmas parade at Disneyland around 1961 to
celebrate their appearance in the Annette Funicello movie "Babes in Toyland"
released that same year. Since then they have been a delightful
fixture in Disneyland's and Walt Disney World's Christmas parades. The
design of the costumes has changed subtly over the years. The first
version of the head featured solid, painted eyes, with the performer seeing
through mustache-like slits below the nose. Later versions featured
eyes of mesh that allowed visibility, and the most modern version also
features carefully disguised screen cutouts along the chin strap for
additional vision and ventilation. Offered here is the 1960s style
soldier head. He's a bit of a mystery: We know from matching the
sculptural details of the chinstrap that he was made from the official
Disneyland mold (or a mold created from an official Disney head).
Judging from the rough finish and various crude coats of paint (his hat was
originally painted blue under the red) it appears someone created him for
unofficial use outside of Disneyland. The head is outfitted with a
helmet liner to allow it to be worn just like his official Disney
counterparts. He is one of several that came to us with no history
other than being found in storage. This toy soldier costume head
measures approximately 27.5" tall (same as you see at the Disney parks) and
is constructed of Fiberglas and is painted crudely, with plenty of scuffs
and rubbed paint as shown in the photos (click on any photo for a larger
view). To be clear, I don't think this is an official Disney head but
this is only the second time in 25 years I've been able to offer a Disney
toy soldier costume head produced from the Disney theme park head or
molds. We have several of these heads-- all in similar condition--
but the photos above are of the exact one being offered now. Instead
of being priced near $10,000 as an original, this one is priced at a
fraction of that as a rare replica made from the original 1960's Disneyland
sculpt. Item # 7050, $1495
U.S. Shipping $49. Sorry no overseas shipping on this large item. |

Click any image for a better
view The 1993 limited edition cel titled "Walt's Train" released and sold out immediately 26 years ago! This is a limited edition of 950 hand-painted character cels combined with a photograph taken in 1951 of Walt Disney on his newly built miniature railroad at the Disney Studio in Burbank, California. This cel set-up, "Walt's Train," features Walt Disney along with Mickey Mouse who assumes the role of engineer as Minnie, Donald and Goofy join the both of them in a aftemoon train ride. Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie run happily alongside. All aboard!!! Disney artists at the Walt Disney Studios created these cels using traditional animation techniques. The original drawings, which were specially created for this edition and then conserved at Disney Art Editions, were transferred to acetate "cels" by a special six-step xerographic process. Disney artists then hand-painted each of the cels in the edition with Disney-approved acrylic colors. The photographic background for this cel set-up has been produced using the original black-and-white negative, which has been conserved at the Disney Photo Library.
This is #630 of 950. Includes the Disney Company
Certificate of Authenticity. Measures 23" x 19" overall. In new
condition. *Do
