RARE Looney Tunes WILE E COYOTE ON ROCKET Hanging Big Fig Statue FOREIGN IMPORT
ANY FAN OF THE LOONEY TUNES CARTOONS WILL WANT THIS HUMOROUS WILE E COYOTE ON A ROCKET FIGURINE HANGING IN THEIR DEN, MANCAVE, SHESHED, OR OFFICE. This rare Looney Tunes Wile E Coyote on a Rocket is a must-have for any Roadrunner collector. Made of polyresin, this statue features the beloved character from the Warner Bros. Animation studio, and was released in 2000. This collectible item is sure to be a conversation starter in any room and a beloved addition to any collection. This amazing hanging figurine/sculptor of Wile E Coyote on a rocket is a rare find, as it was only released in a few countries in Europe in 2000. I never hung it from the attached rope though, as it didn’t seem like it could hold the rather heavy sculpture. It sat on a shelf for years, until I finally packed it away for safekeeping. THE FIGURE IS APPROXIMATELY 20″ LONG AND 8″ HIGH. IT COMES WITH AN ATTACHED ROPE THAT YOU CAN HANG IT WITH. It does not come in its original box, which was just a plain box, as I no longer have that. So I will wrap it in bubble wrap and place it carefully in an appropriately sized box surrounded by more padding. Then I will put that box in a larger box (24 x 14 x 12) surrounded by more packaging materials, so it has a nice cushioned transport to your home. Or you can pick it up locally in NJ. Here’s a little about Rutten and the Designer Peter Mook that I found on this website. This is one of the most sought-after collectibles from brands like Walt Disney, Warner Bros, and King Features. It was designed by Peter Mook and made from polyester or resin. Peter Mook was born in England in the seaside town of Southport where he still lives and works, below is a brief summary of his career so far. Peter left University in 1993 where he gained a 1st class honors degree in 3-Dimensional Design, the following year he started to work as a freelance sculptor and designer and whilst working with Minster Giftware he lived in China for several years at ceramic, resin and cast-iron factories designing and sculpting giftware including many hundreds of items from 4 upwards, from Teapots and doorstops to mirrors and lamps and has a small selection to view in his portfolio. It was during this time in the PI that Peter was approached by Warner Bros to become an approved artist after which Disney, Kingfeatures, Marvel and Microsoft soon followed making Peter one of very few artists worldwide to be approved as an artist by every major Licensing group and giving him the opportunity to work with many licenses such as Looney Tunes, Mickey and friends, Betty Boop, Garfield, Mr Bean, Winnie the Pooh, Popeye, Dennis the Mennis, The Muppet Show, Sonic, Halo, classic Marvel and Wolverine and the X-Men. Here’s a little about Wile E Coyote I found on Wikipedia. Coyote and the Road Runner are a duo of cartoon characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of animated cartoons, first appearing in 1949 in the theatrical cartoon short Fast and Furry-ous. In each episode, the cunning, devious and constantly hungry coyote repeatedly attempts to catch and subsequently eat the Road Runner, but is always humorously unsuccessful in doing so. [8] Instead of his animal instincts, the coyote uses absurdly complex contraptions (à la Rube Goldberg machines) to try to catch his prey. They comically backfire, with the coyote often getting injured in slapstick fashion. Here’s a little about Looney Tunes I found on Wikipedia. Looney Tunes is an American animated franchise produced and distributed by Warner Bros. It began as a series of short films that originally ran from 1930 to 1969, concurrently with its partner series Merrie Melodies, during the golden age of American animation. [1][2] Following a revival in the late 1970s, new shorts were released as recently as 2014. The two series introduced a large cast of characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig. The term Looney Tunes has since been expanded to also refer to the characters themselves.
