I was just wondering what others think of the Dopey sculpture that WDCC is putting out next weekend, their "Event" scupture. Does anyone know what event sculpture means? Does that mean that I have to buy it next weekend or I'm out of luck? I've never bought any WDCC figures (too expensive), but I just think this Dopey one is so cute! If anything could get me to buy an expensive little figurine, this would. He just captivates me-what does everyone else think?
 
The event sculptures are supposed to be a one day event piece-- meaning you get one shot at it-- But what USUALLY happens is that the galleries or stores holding the event will purchase extras themselves so that they can sell them after the event!! I just got the postcard in the mail about the Dopey and it looks like a nice piece.. Also -- usually the event pieces have been under or around the 100.00 dollar mark.. Our first piece was an event piece (The Blue Fairie).. that we, by luck ran into hile spending the day shopping a few years back-- We joined the WDCC and have about 20 pieces now-- Love em all--

Had to add this seconds later-- according to the postcard this is limited to 7,500 pieces and also you should recieve a Dopey pin with it... which would alos probably be limited edition.. To be honest this is one of the first numbered (open) event pieces I have seen.. Most numbered figures are for WDCC members or convention pieces!!!! Ok now I might have to pick this one up now :)

If you do like the figures-- you should try to join the society.. for around $60.00 you get a ton of mailings-- a full color catalog of all the figures and you also get a very nice membership piece for the cost.. They are usually really nice-- so even if you cant afford the pricey ones you still get this one piece!!!!! we have been member s for 4-5 years.. great stuff!!! and you also get the sneek peaks at whats coming next!
