Just finished this gorgeous
Mortimer Snerd reproduction figure and he is ready to go! My
figures are a true labor of love and, although they are
certainly functional figures, I create them as museum quality
display pieces.
Mortimer's head, hands and legs are cast in resin. His legs are
quite special. I was able to obtain an original Bergen leg at a
Disney Studios auction in the mid-90's. I was able to mold the
leg and sculpt a mirror image leg for the other. The legs are in
two pieces... a thigh piece, that attaches to the torso with a
threaded rod and is attached at the knee to the lower leg by a
piece of heavy elastic, held with screws. His torso is made of
white pine and then upholstered in a quilted fabric.
Mortimer's head is held in place by a spring loaded head lock,
at the base of his torso's interior, so he can be safely
displayed without fear that his head will fall off. As you can
see, Mortimer, very easily, sits independently for display.
He has fixed deep blue glass eyes (like the original Mortimer)
and they are absolutely beautiful.
His wardrobe is stunning. He is outfitted in a beautiful custom
made heavy wool herringbone suit, in light and dark grey. His
jacket is vented in the back, to allow easy access to his head
stick. He is wearing a white shirt and vintage red and grey bow
tie. He is also wearing a gorgeous double breasted wool vest in
grey, red and black plaid. Both his suit and vest are made of
vintage wool, authentic to the period. His boots are so cool...
they are vintage 1940's caramel colored boots that have never
been worn. Mortimer's hat is a gorgeous aged vintage boater hat
with new hat band and bow, matching the striping and bow on his
original hat and coordinated to his outfit (in red and grey).
Mortimer's hair is styled in his typical shaggy blond style.
Shipping, insurance and professional packaging will run $225
(within the Continental US). The packaging company I use does a
phenomenal job at packaging and the box he is shipped in is
oversized, so he is quite expensive to ship, but well worth it.
I accept friends and family payments through Paypal as well as
personal checks (just have to wait for the check to clear, prior
to shipping).
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. |
