Overview
This is a wonderfully nostalgic, heavy-cast resin mantel clock featuring five of the most iconic Looney Tunes characters: Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, and the Tasmanian Devil. Released in 1994 during the golden era of the Warner Bros. Studio Store, it captures the classic, expressive character designs of the original animation era in a dynamic, three-dimensional form.
Story
In 1994, the Warner Bros. Studio Store was at its absolute peak, transforming retail into an interactive theme-park experience. This clock was designed as a premium gallery piece, bringing the chaotic energy of Saturday morning cartoons into adult living rooms.
Maker / Origin
The Warner Bros. Studio Store chain was launched in 1991 to rival Disney's retail dominance, quickly becoming famous for its high-quality, artist-designed collectibles. Unlike standard mass-market toys, these gallery-line pieces were designed by studio-approved artists to ensure absolute model accuracy to the original animation cells.
Condition & Value
The clock shows some accumulated dust in the crevices, which is very common for these textured resin pieces. The paint appears largely intact without major scuffs, but the functionality of the battery-operated clock mechanism needs to be tested. Excellent, clean condition with a working clock commands a premium.
