I know that there's a Walt Disney version of Norman Rockwell's "Self Portrait". In the Rockwell version, NR is sitting at an easel, peering into a mirror, then drawing his own image on the canvas. In the Disney version, Walt is sitting at the easel, peering into the mirror, but I believe it's Mickey's image that peers back at him, and it's Mickey that he's drawing on the canvas. We own the NR figurine, and would love to get the Walt Disney one. Does anyone know the real name of this so I can do a search to find it?? Thanks! 
**UPDATE-Sept 10**
I just wanted to let everyone know that I bought this figurine while on the Disney Magic last week!!! When I saw the price was $65, I thought it was a misprint, but it really was $65!!! It's a beautiful piece, and it's sitting on a shelf next to my Norman Rockwell "Self-portrait".
(The base is square, not round like in the picture in this thread, and I'm sure it's not part of the "limited edition" which cost $1995, but it's just as beautiful, and is the same size at the piece in the picture. It came with a certificate of authenticity, too).
P.S. The CM on the ship got a brand new for me from the stockroom, and about halfway through the cruise we noticed that the display piece was gone, so I'm sure these sold out!!
I got it home via my carry-on luggage without so much as a scratch. It comes packed in styrofoam that is molded exactly to the piece itself.
