(Fleischer, 1941) An extremely rare animator’s maquette of the villain C. Bagley Beetle from “Mr. Bug Goes to Town.” Maquettes such as this one were used by animators as a three-dimensional reference while animating characters. Hand-painted and constructed of plaster, only a handful were produced and distributed among the animators. Measuring 4.25” x 5.25” x 9” tall, the maquette displays in very good condition with light scuffs, scratches, crazing, and wear from production use.
