PRE PRODUCTION SMAPLE - Jim Shore Disney Traditions - The Little Mermaid Ariel & Triton - Daddy's Little Princess

The Little Mermaid figurine beautifully depicts the love and adoration a daughter has for her father, as Ariel is seen tenderly placing a pink flower into the majestic Sea King's long flowing white hair. Set on sea-bed base with rolling waves, sea shells and brightly coloured seaweed, King Triton can be seen balanced on his bright blue tail with intricate scales carefully carved into a beautiful motif pattern. With his powerful gold trident in his right hand, he uses his left arm to allow Ariel to swim up beside him and balance on his extended limb, to offer her floral gift to her father.

Disney Traditions combines the magic of Disney with the folk art artistry of Jim Shore. Jim’s hand made one of a kind interpretations are enchantingly detailed and authentically convey the art direction and character design of the animated classic characters while interpreting these entrancing Disney characters in Jim Shore’s distinctive hand-crafted look.

Unique variations should be expected as product is hand painted.

WHAT IS A PRE PRODUCTION SAMPLE?

When a new item is released by Enesco, a select few samples (prototypes) are produced. Out of these 1 of each item are sent to Australia (occasionally 2).

Li'l Treasures receives these samples for release via our Vault.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE PRODUCT?

• These items DO NOT have the stamp on the bottom of the figurine as you would normally see from an Enesco product. 

• These items DO NOT come in boxes. We wrap figures very well using bubble wrap and other suitable packaging for post however original Enesco boxes are not provided

• The item may differ from the final production version. Sometimes Enesco or the designer (ie Jim Shore or Romero Britto) will decide something is not quite right after samples are produced. This means that the end product can be different. For example, if an arm on Tinkerbell is too fragile it may be redesigned, or a pattern / colour may be changed.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER?

Many collectors find these very appealing due to the chance of receiving a one of a kind piece (if something gets changed for production).

Collectors can identify a sample by the lack of stamp on the bottom of the figure.
