Inspired by the classic epilogue of one of my all time favorite Pixar films, Monsters Inc., here we have this beautifully made Mike Wazowski figurine by Precious Moments (as part of the Disney Showcase Collection)! I don't usually go for the Precious Moments collectibles, but this one really stood out to me when I saw it pop up on ShopDisney.com recently. I was so excited to have gotten this for Christmas and it now displays proudly on my Monsters Inc. shelf!
This maquette is meticulously crafted out of a fragile cold-cast resin material, is hand painted and features some outstanding detail (for instance, Mike's overall likeness is one of the best I've ever seen in any product featuring him). His color is vibrant, his paint application is spot on (even down to the subtle dark green spots on his back) and you'll notice he even has a really neat texture. I'm impressed with just about everything with this one.
Just take a look for yourself at my loose photos below and keep in mind that he looks even cooler in person!
From top to bottom, this figurine stands at about 5 1/2" tall, with his arm span right around 7 1/2" long. On the bottom of the front of the base it reads "It's My Job To Make You Laugh", which I thought was a pretty cute touch. Retail price is $44.95.
For all you Monsters Inc. fans/collectors out there, if you have the space and you love this character as much as I do, I can't recommend this enough! It's a high quality product that you won't be disappointed in. You can purchase it on the ShopDisney site currently HERE or on the Precious Moments site HERE.
