I have a very interesting part of my collection that I am interested
in selling. I have a Hercules maquette that was sculpted by Chuck
Williams. Chuck Williams was working for the Disney Product
Development and he was working on a bust of Hercules that was to be
used in a limited edition bust and pillar. Mr. Williams was to get the
approval of Andreas Deja lead character animator for the Hercules
character. Mr. Deja loved the bust so much he started sketching a
scene right on the spot and ordered 4 more bust made. What I have is
one of those 4 busts. The Limited Edition was never made so this is
really unique. It is a production maquette that came via Product
Development. I have a letter from Mr. Williams that tells the whole
story behind this unique bust.
This was verified by a local gallery that contacted Mr. Deja and he confirmed that this was indeed one of the production bust created for both the movie and the product line.
