Rare 1963 Disneyland Enchanted Tiki Room Lanai Original Prop, Tangaroa-Ru Baby

Description

This is an extremely Rare 1963 Disneyland Enchanted Tiki Room Lanai Original Tanguroa Tree Prop, Tangaroa-Ru Baby.
As a way of entertaining the guests who waited in line for nearly 20 minutes to see “Walt Disney’s, Enchanted Tiki Room” attraction, the Imagineers created one of the first, truly interactive queue areas that Disney parks are so well known for today. At the finale of the pre-show, “Tangaroa”, the tree of life and the father of all Gods and Goddesses pronounces “From my limbs, let new life fall!” Tangaroa- Ru Babies, symbols of new life magically fall from his branches. These Polynesian-style, fiberglass figures were partially based on figural carvings from different Polynesian cultures. Designed by Imagineer Rolly Crump, wearing seashells and wooden beads, and measuring 12" x 11" x 4.5", this Baby is in very good park used condition. On the bottom of one foot it bears the 1963 WED Enterprises Inc  copyright stamp.
This item will surely be a highly valued part of any Disney collection.
