Iron Studios is bringing one of its most sentimental releases yet to D23 Anaheim this year: a 1/10 scale Walt Disney & Mickey Mouse statue available exclusively at the show from August 14 through 16, 2026. Limited to just 500 pieces worldwide, the statue pairs Disney's founder with his most iconic creation in a piece clearly designed to appeal to lifelong Disney collectors as much as Iron Studios' existing statue audience.
D23 exclusives carry a different kind of weight than standard convention drops, since the event itself functions as Disney's flagship fan celebration rather than a general pop-culture convention. Releasing a Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse statue specifically at D23, rather than through general retail or a wider con circuit, ties the piece directly to Disney's own history and mythology in a way that few other statue releases can match.
With availability limited to a three-day window on the show floor and an edition size of only 500 pieces, this is a release collectors need to plan around rather than one they can pick up casually after the fact. Here's what's known about the statue and how to think about display once it's in hand.
Iron Studios has built a substantial catalog of licensed statues across Disney, Marvel, DC, and other major properties, but a statue depicting Walt Disney himself is a different kind of release entirely. Pairing him directly with Mickey Mouse, the character most synonymous with the company's founding, gives the piece a narrative weight that goes beyond typical character statues built around a single film or franchise moment.
That framing is likely to resonate especially strongly with collectors who have followed Disney parks, animation history, or the company's broader legacy rather than just its current film slate. A statue like this functions almost as a piece of company history as much as a collectible, which sets it apart from the character-specific statues Iron Studios typically releases, and it may draw interest from buyers who don't usually collect statues at all but have a personal connection to Disney's founding story.
Limiting the release to 500 pieces available only during D23's August 14 to 16 run puts real pressure on collectors who want one, since there's no indication of a wider retail rollout following the show. Iron Studios has used similarly tight edition sizes for other high-profile exclusives, and pieces with this kind of scarcity tend to see strong secondary market demand once the initial allocation sells out on the show floor.
For collectors who can't attend D23 in person, tracking down a Walt Disney & Mickey Mouse statue after the fact will likely mean paying above the original price through resale channels, assuming units become available at all. That scarcity is part of what makes planning ahead of the show, rather than trying to source one afterward, the more reliable path to owning this release. Collectors who have chased past Iron Studios convention exclusives know that a three-day availability window can move faster than expected, particularly for a piece with this much sentimental and historical appeal to core Disney fans.
Iron Studios has steadily expanded its footprint at Disney-specific events over the past several years, releasing Art Scale statues tied to Disney parks history, classic animation, and now the company's own founder. That expansion mirrors what's happened across the broader statue market, where manufacturers increasingly treat major fan conventions as launch platforms for exclusives rather than simply exhibition space to promote general retail releases.
A Walt Disney & Mickey Mouse statue slots naturally into that strategy, giving D23 attendees a piece they genuinely cannot find anywhere else, at least not without paying a resale premium later. For Iron Studios, tying a release this personal to Disney's history directly to Disney's own convention reinforces the exclusivity in a way a general retail statue drop simply couldn't replicate.
It's available August 14 through 16, 2026, during D23 Anaheim.
The statue is limited to 500 pieces worldwide.
It's a 1/10 scale statue from Iron Studios.
No official wider retail rollout has been announced, which is typical for D23-exclusive Iron Studios releases.
A statue this limited deserves better than open-shelf exposure to dust and handling, and the EVORETRO Lockable Aluminum Display Case gives a premium 1/10 scale piece like this the secure, showcase-quality presentation its edition size warrants. Locking the statue behind a case also adds a layer of protection against accidental handling, which matters more the harder a piece becomes to replace.
