Time for a swim

It's not often the Walt Disney Classics Collection makes sculptures that aren't based on a film, but such is the popularity of Carl Barks comic book creations. This figurine is based on one of his all-time best stories "Only A Poor Old Man".
It was first available in 2004 and is still available. It retails for 199.00.

Here is the description from DisneyShopping.com:
Donald Duck's fabulously wealthy uncle Scrooge McDuck likes nothing better than taking a dip in his vast stash of cash. The wonderfully detailed and amusing ''Pool of Riches'' recreates a memorable moment from Carl Bark's 1952 classic ''Only a Poor Old Man.'' USA.
Porcelain plussed with brass and acrylic glasses, and metallic paint
Sculpted by artist Bruce Lau
Comes complete with a lithograph of the art that inspired the sculpture
4 3/4'' H
Certificate of Authenticity
