Having seen Kevin's prototype and truly admired Rolly Crump's work, I thought it was a great opportunity to get a scale version of the Tomorrowland ticket booth. Those sweeping lines, those strong colors, that... crummy paint job? Is it me, or is that near post actually bent? On top of everything else, it seems as though they tossed it in its packaging while the paint was still wet, because the styrofoam pattern is actually molded into the paint, as are the creases from the plastic bag it was partially wrapped in. I almost hope Kevin and Jody don't see any of the final products, because it must be pretty frustrating to see this kind of low quality. Weird, because some of the Disney collectible stuff is really outstanding quality product from their beautiful work. Let's hope hope hope that the Tiki Room stuff is NOT produced by the same manufacturer! **UPDATE (posted below too) - Disney Direct provided a replacement free of charge. -Randy [ Edited by: aquarj on 2005-06-06 00:09 ]
