In this post, we'll look at those sculptures dedicated solely to the Snow White gang.
Snow White.
Created by Disney artist Theresa Millerand, the princess figurine is encircled by all of the Seven Dwarfs. The lid (aka Snow White) removes to disclose the apple inside.The figure, which stands a little under 4" tall, came in an oval-shaped box, and a Certificate of Authenticity was included. It was said to have been sold exclusively at locations within Walt Disney World in 1999 (but it also appeared in the Disney Gallery Catalog). Original retail price $95.00 (USD). Measures 4" tall. Made in England.
