12 elsa s castle launched in autumn 2015 The Frozen script called for a dramatic setting, complete with ice and snow, fjords and mountains. Film makers knew early on that once Elsa s secret powers were revealed, she would use her magic to construct a majestic ice palace. Research was undertaken in Quebec City in an Ice Hotel to get a feel for how light reflects and refracts off snow and ice, making Elsa s palace really spectacular.

18 The meticulous process of creating each figurine begins with research into the film and character to find that perfect pose, and from this the hard work begins to bring that perfect moment to life Each figurine goes through rigorous approval processes with Disney or Marvel, and once the concept idea is approved, the painstaking work of the sculpt begins to capture the full detail and essence of the figurine. Each sculpture consists of many parts, which allows us much more flexibility with the composition and ensures there is no compromise with the detail enhancing the quality of the finished figurine. The production process continues with the making of moulds to then cast each part of the figurine, which is made from resin. Once cast, each element is demoulded and checked to ensure there are no imperfections. From here each cast is cleaned and fettled (the removal of the fill and vent tubes from the casting), ready for assembling back into its original form ready for painting. It s at this point with the first whiteware of the figurine that the painted version goes for its final approval with Disney or Marvel, before each edition is allowed to go into full production. The painted parts of each figurine are then checked for quality to make sure they meet our exacting standards, and if all is approved the pieces are finished off and assembled into the complete model. With their bases attached, their edition numbers are added and then packaged in their bespoke boxes. All processes in the creation of our handmade figurines are carried out by our highly skilled artisans based in Langholm, in the Scottish Borders.
