About Us

"We hope you enjoy this celebration of the characters and settings that live at the heart of our fondest Disney memories."

Walt Disney Classics Collection

"I was creating maquette sculptures for the animated films and was asked to work on a new collectible line called the Walt Disney Classics Collection. I had seen various porcelain figurines before and I was very skeptical of what could be done in this medium. However, I decided to see a couple of the initial figurines. When I saw the "Field Mouse" piece in all its detail, I was astonished. I knew right then that I wanted to be an integral part of the project".

2012

After more than 20 years, the Walt Disney Classics Collection came to a close.

At the end of 2012, Enesco parted ways with the line. Precious Moments stepped in to take over the role, but following much negative feedback surrounding these new collectibles, the entire series was cancelled.

Now

WDCC pieces remain highly collectible.

Due to their intricate, hand-painted designs featuring favorite and memorable Disney characters; collectors now have decades of fine figures to enjoy as prices climb higher on the resale market for these fragile and increasingly rare pieces.

WDCC Caboodles was created so collectors could get together once again to celebrate this wonderful collection!

Walt Disney Classics Collection

The Walt Disney Classics Collection is the only collection of fine animation scuptures created using the time-honored principles of Disney film animation. As a result, each sculpture captures all the emotion and magic of the unforgettable characters and settings created by Disney.

Signature Marks

Each sculpture bears a backstamp with Walt Disney's signature and an incised or decal production-year mark that sumbolizes a milestone in Disney history.

Choosing the Moment

It was very important to find that specific film moment that defines the essence of each character, capturing the personality that reached beyond any particular scene.

Collectors Society

The quality and value of this collection attracted a large number of collectors. A Society was formed to bring together these collectors and create additional excitement.

Special Events

WDCC Caboodles

WDCC Caboodles began in March of 2016 when Lori created a WDCC App for iphones. She needed a quick reference tool that would always be available at her fingertips that she could use for her collecting obsession. At the time, there was no such app or list available so she decided to make one.

In October of 2017,Stacey and Lori joined forces and started a facebook community called WDCC Caboodles where they began to gather Disney friends from around the globe. Stacey loved to seek out artists and designers who have worked on the collection to bring an added layer to this already wonderful line and our group. When online reference sites started to flicker and disappear - they realized that a dedicated website was needed so that Caboodlers would always have access to information about their favorite collection.

Lori created a website and started adding the information. This continues to be a work in progress, but eventually Lori hopes to get all of the material from the app loaded as well as so much more! Because they both believe that it's not only the collection, but how you display it - they opened the Caboodle Store in June of 2018 using many of Stacey's great ideas and Lori's artistic creations. In November 2018 they were thrilled to start the Limited Edition Project with some of the original WDCC artists trying to fill some of the gaps that were left in the original WDCC collections. We have happily found many other talented and wonderful people to join our team to make WDCC Caboodles what it is today.

Lori Bossert

President, Alberta, Canada

Lori started collecting WDCC sculptures in May 2015. Her favorite room in the house is her Disneyroom, and she delights in sharing it with her children and grandchildren.

She had approximately 12 years experience in painting with oils and acrylics, before she started to sculpt and work with different materials,silicone molds, resin casting and airbrushing. She loves to create the special display items she makes to go with her collection and was thrilled when other Caboodle members wanted her to make them accessories as well. She started making "Caboodle Extras" to help accentuate our beloved WDCC collections. She really enjoys the time spent in her workshop.

Lori recently retired and turned her business back into a hobby. She still creates, but on a much smaller scale and mostly for her own collection.
