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

An Actual Piece of Walt Disney's First Hollywood Workshop |
|
 |
 |
|
When Walt Disney came to Hollywood in 1923, he roomed at his uncle Robert's house at 4406 Kingswell Avenue. He built an animation stand in his uncle's garage, and worked on an animated reel of cartoon jokes which he tried to sell to the Pantages Theater Company.
Leading the 1982 team that purchased and moved the garage was Disney employee and fan Arthur Adler. When the garage was moved, Adler saved the small pieces of wood that splintered off the garage during dismantling. These pieces, which were too small to be used in the restoration of the garage, are now available for sale to Walt Disney fans who appreciate the significance of having a little bit of Walt's first Hollywood workshop/studio as part of their personal collection. Authenticity: The saving of Walt Disney's gar age from demolition, the moving of it to its current location, and the sale of the remnant pieces to me is documented in the Walt Disney history book, "Walt Disney's Garage of Dreams" by Arthur Adler, show at left. (The book is not included with this purchase, but is available on Amazon.) On page 41 Adler mentions that he got too old to sell the pieces himself, he sold them to me, Phil Sears. Every piece includes my Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity Certificate.Also included is 15 page package of photocopied documentation prepared by Adler. It includes a short history of him saving the garage, a copy of a letter from the Disney Studio Archives, and some newspaper clippings. The wood itself measures approximately 1" in length. Each piece, being original, will vary of course. The book "Walt Disney's Garage of Dreams" is not included. This purchase includes the wood artifact, the Certificate of Authenticity, and Adler's 15 page photocopied history packet. Please note that the checkout system will charge $8.95 shipping but for U.S. shipments we will refund $4.00 on this lightweight item.
