Description: This is a custom 12" figure commemorating one of the most exciting fictional characters of the Old West, Zorro. This figure is based on the Walt Disney tv series which ran on ABC from October 10th, 1957 thru July 2nd 1959. Guy Williams did a great job as the part of Zorro/Don Diego de la Vega. His loyal man servant Bernardo (played by Gene Sheldon) is also aware of the secret identity. George Lewis plays Diego's father (a wealthy cattleman and land baron) unaware that his son is Zorro. Henry Calvin plays Sgt. Garcia (a member of the Mexican Army) who can never quite apprehend the elusive Zorro, but respects him none the less. There were 78 episodes of the series as well as four hour long specials on the Walt Disney anthology series from October 10th 1960 thru April 2nd 1961. Zorro was created in 1919, by an American pulp writer, Johnston McCulley. McCulley set his stories in the Pueblo of Los Angeles Alta California circa 1800's. Zorro was the secret identity of Don Diego de la Vega son of the richest landowner in the area. Don Diego learned swordsmanship while away at University in Spain. He is summoned home by his father when California is taken over by an evil dictator. Don Diego wears dark clothing, a hat, and a mask to conceal his identity so he can fight the oppressive dictator. Zorro was the protector of the commoners and indigenous people of California. Zorro would battle evil doers with his cunning, a sword and a whip.The people started calling the masked vigilante El Zorro. Zorro is Spanish for fox. Joaquin Murrieta is the real life person most often associated with the character Zorro. There were several stories about this dashing swashbuckler, as well as tv and movies portraying Zorro. Guy Williams as I mentioned) did a great job in the old tv series (late 1950's). Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power, Anthony Hopkins, and Antonio Banderas are a few of the other actors to portray Zorro in tv or movies. Although this figure does not look exactly like Zorro / Williams the figure does bear a nice resemblance to the character and spirit of this legendary figure. the figure displays well. stand included. the figure is made for display and not play.This figure would make a nice addition to any collection. PLEASE NOTE- a small black twist tie is used for a bracket to hang the whip on. whip is handmade. mask is fastened at the back with a black twist tie.sold as is. Please note the following-when a figure is a custom figure that means it is not a licensed product,or "official" but something the customizer did by combining figures and accessories from different makers and toy releases to come up with the custom figure or figures. I started customizing figures a few years back because I couldn't find more than a handful of "official" releases and unable to find figures of people I wanted to collect. I checked in to the market of custom figures. Most of the custom figures available back then cost several hundred dollars, so, I started doing my own. Because I needed to support my new hobby, I started selling some custom figures. My prices reflect my acquisition cost, time involved, and some profit. Thanks for the look, have fun shopping!
