WDCC Maleficent Dragon Arribas Crystal 1999 Disneyland GWP Exclusive Rare For Sale

A distinctive piece of Disneyland history, this 1999 Arribas Brothers Maleficent Dragon Etched Crystal Paperweight was produced as a special Gift With Purchase (GWP) collectible associated with the Walt Disney Classics Collection (WDCC) Fall Sculpture Event.

The collectible commemorates the release of the WDCC Maleficent “Evil Enchantress” sculpture from Disney\'s Sleeping Beauty. The Fall Sculpture Event ran from September 18 through October 18, 1999, with this Disneyland-exclusive crystal paperweight reportedly offered only on the opening day, September 18, 1999.

Created by Arribas Brothers, the paperweight features a beautifully sculpted dragon-inspired form with textured, translucent crystal and an etched illustration of Maleficent\'s dragon transformation. The colorful crystal changes appearance depending on the lighting and viewing angle.

The original blue Arribas Brothers presentation box with gold lettering is included.

  Why This Piece Stands Out

  A Special Disneyland Event Collectible

  Unlike regularly available Disney souvenirs, this paperweight was created as a promotional gift associated with a specific Walt Disney Classics Collection event.

  Opening-Day Commemorative Date

  The inscription identifies September 18, 1999, the opening day of the WDCC Maleficent “Evil Enchantress” sculpture event. Collector accounts describe the Disneyland paperweight as available only on that date.

  Arribas Brothers Craftsmanship

  The decorative crystal combines detailed sculptural texture with etched Maleficent Dragon artwork, creating an attractive collectible that displays differently under changing light.

  Original Presentation Box

  The blue Arribas Brothers presentation box and fitted insert are included, enhancing the collectible\'s appeal for Disneyana collectors.

  WDCC Collector Connection

  The paperweight was designed to complement the 1999 WDCC Maleficent “Evil Enchantress” sculpture, making it especially desirable to collectors of Disney Villains and Walt Disney Classics Collection memorabilia.

  What\'s Included
  • 1999 Arribas Brothers Maleficent Dragon Etched Crystal Paperweight

  An unusual addition to a Disneyland, Disney Villains, WDCC, or Arribas Brothers collection, this 1999 Maleficent Dragon paperweight preserves a memorable piece of Disney\'s Sleeping Beauty anniversary-era collecting history.
