The Gallery's Perspective
A cheeky, sunlit moment of childhood is frozen in porcelain here—young Simba beams with a wide, mischievous grin as he strides confidently forward. The sculptor has caught that in-between age: the body still soft and rounded, the pose full of bravado. Warm golden tones and smooth, glossy surfaces make the figure feel luminous and alive, while the darker, textured base suggests a small stage or log for his little performance. The face is the real delight—the upturned eyes and open, toothy smile read as pure, unapologetic joy, and the lifted tail adds a playful flourish. As a small ornament, it brings personality easily: cheerful, animated, and instantly familiar, it’s the kind of object that lightens a shelf or mantel with a touch of childhood confidence and sunny optimism.

WALT DISNEY CLASSICS FIGURINES - The Classics Collection started in 1992 with three scenes, Bambi, Cinderella, and Fantasia's Sorcerer Apprentice. Many other series have since been introduced. Some figurines are limited, and some have been retired. Some of these figurines have risen high on the secondary market.
The figurines are made of porcelain, and the process is similar to that use to make Hummel figurines. Individual pieces are molded, put together, and fired in an oven. Then they are painted and fired again.
Each figurine is marked on the bottom, signifying the year it was produced. The marks represent significant milestones in Disney history. The figurines with the first year mark are usually the most desirable.
