Featuring Dr. Finklestein from Tim Burton's stop motion animated feature film The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), he was released as an addition to the already released Jack, Sally and Zero characters. The sculpture is an open edition, not yet retired. "Retired" means that the molds are destroyed and the sculptures are no longer produced, which makes them (rare) collectors items. Titled Unhinged, the sculpture of Finklestein features him as he looked in the film, sitting in his wheelchair. It's difficult to see all the details, but the design of the chair is quite remarkable. Finklestein is dressed in white with long black gloves, and he has purple lips and ears. He is "plussed" (non-porcelain materials are used) with a brass hinge that allows his head to open and reveal his brain. His black glasses are made of bronze, and his wheelchair is plussed with bronze and pewter parts. Some of the details I like, are the brown metal pieces that support his feet, the black metal pieces that wrap around the chair toward the back, and the stitching in the fabric of the chair. The base is brown and resembles wood floors.*IMPORTANT~This sculpture is NOT in mint condition. There is some "crazing" (network of fine cracks in a surface or glaze of a surface) on some of the white areas of Finklestein (coat, legs, and toward rear of his head), and the base (underneath) of the sculpture. The crazing cannot be seen right away, but only if you look very closely. *Please don't bid on this item if you want one in mint condition.The following is an explanation of crazing. For additional information, Google "crazing." Delayed crazing shows up weeks, months, or years later and is practically always caused by underfiring. If ware is underfired (does not reach maturity), it can, in time, expand when moisture fills the pores causing the body to expand. Sudden changes in temperature can cause crazing if the body and glaze do not expand or contract uniformly. Either the body expanding or the glaze shrinking can cause fine hairline cracking (crazing) to occur.The sculpture measures about 6" tall, 4 1/2" deep (front to back), and 3 5/8" wide (left to right). The bottom of the sculpture reads:Walt Disney Classics Collection (logo)Tim Burton'sThe NightmareBefore ChristmasUnhingedDr. Finklestein©TouchstoneImprinted in the bottom of the sculpture is the Sombrero production mark (understamp) for 2002, a symbol representing Disney's Saludos Amigos (1943). As you may know, many collectible brands have an understamp pressed into or printed on the collectible to show what year the item was manufactured. This sculpture has been seen with production marks from 2002-2004.The sculpture is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity (see photo) enclosed in a clear plastic envelope, which is sealed on the back with a gold "Walt Disney Classics Collection" logo sticker. The back of the certificate usually reads this, or something similar:This beautifully crafted sculpture was developed through the collaborative efforts of the animators and other artists of The Walt Disney Studios, using the same principles applied to classic Disney animation. In concept and execution, this is an authentic three-dimensional representation of the original animated film scene, capturing the timeless spirit and beauty of Walt Disney's classic films in every detail. The sculpture has remained in its box since purchased in 2002. The box has its original packing materials and is in great condition. The suggested retail price is $175.
