Duos Series

In the year 2000, Walt Disney Art Classics introduced the Duos Series.

Max Hare and Toby Tortoise from the 1935 animated short, "The Tortoise and The Hare" kicked off this new series, spotlighting some of Disney's most famous pairs.

The "Disney Duos" was scheduled to be a five (5) year series that would have ended in 2004. When the 2003 releases were unveiled, it was announced that 2003 will be the final year for this series.

"This year, the Duos Series offering are packaged and priced separately vs. as a set in previous years. The reasoning behind the separate packaging and pricing is the following: "We originally had targeted to sell these pieces as a set and at a suggested retail price that was in line with past releases in the Duos Series. However, in order to create the characters properly and do them in the true Walt Disney Classics Collection quality, the development of the sculptures came in at a higher cost. Therefore, not wanting to compromise on quality in order to reduce the cost, we decided to offer the pieces individually so as not to make them prohibitive cost-wise for collectors to purchase. We thought that this option would help spread the purchase for the collector."
