Description: Sleeping Beauty Maleficent & Diablo "Sinister Sorceress" Released June 2012. Retired September 2012 Celebrating the triumph of evil, Maleficent gazes upon the ghastly scene with her devious pet raven Diablo, serenely confident in her complete domination as the Mistress of All Evil. One of Walt Disneyï`s most powerful villains, Maleficent is the dark force in Sleeping Beauty whose nefarious spell subjects the beautiful princess to endless slumber. The Disney animators designed this wicked fairy to resemble a vampire bat, and so it is fearfully fitting that her magnificently malevolent throne has a macabre bat-wing motif. This elaborate sculpture (plussed with bronze hands on Maleficent and bronze legs on Diablo) shows Maleficent at her most sinister" unaware that her vile victory will soon be challenged by noble Prince Phillip.

Particulars: Numbered Limited Edition (NLE) of 750. Diablo is first seen with Maleficent, crashing Aurora's christening. There, she casts a spell on her that schedules her death to come before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday when she pricks her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel. After the curse is set, she and Diablo depart. Oblivious to them, her rivals, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, change the curse so that Aurora would only fall into a deep sleep when she pricks her finger. Meanwhile, back at the Forbidden Mountain, Maleficent sends her goons on a hunt for Aurora but fail to find her after sixteen years. It is revealed that they were foolishly looking for a baby during the entire hunt. Maleficent explodes in rage and sends Diablo to find her. He begins his search in the forest where he spots magic from wands being blasted out of a chimney (and in the process gets hit with it when he takes a closer inspection). It is from Flora and Merryweather who have been hiding Aurora in a woodcutter's cottage to keep her safe from Maleficent. Diablo, listening at the doorway, hears Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather confirm Aurora's identity, and tell her that they are returning her to King Stefan's castle that evening. Hearing this, Diablo quickly flies off and sends Maleficent the news to her great delight. He also hears that Aurora has fallen in love, and that the man she loves will be coming to the cottage that evening. This allows Maleficent and her goons to capture him, who is Prince Phillip, to prevent him from breaking the curse. They hold him hostage in Maleficent's castle but Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather break him out. Diablo, however, overhears them as Maleficent retires, and catches them escaping. He quickly rallies the goons to attack. However, they stand no chance against Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather's magic, so Diablo heads for Maleficent's quarters to inform her of what's going on. Annoyed by him, Merryweather chases after him, attempting to use her magic on him. When Diablo finally reaches Maleficent’s quarters, Merryweather finally hits him with her magic causing him to turn into a stone statue as a part of Maleficent's castle. Maleficent emerges, planning to silence her goons upon hearing all the commotion, but she finds his stone body instead, gasping in shock before witnessing Prince Phillip, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather making their escape, prompting her to take matters into her own hands.
