Nemo’s Nautilus, inspired by Disney’s 1954 live-action version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

The Nautilusis priced at $1,799, and payments can be made in four installments. All orders for the Nautilus placed prior to December 31, 2009, will receive an early pre-order price of $1,699.

The Nautilus is the first collectible that eFX has in its new Disney line. Upcoming pieces include:
- An exquisite Heart Box inspired by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which incorporates two sculptures by renowned artist David Kracov;
- An 18-inch-tall “photo puppet” replica of the Muppets’ Rizzo the Rat, complete with letterman’s jacket and baseball cap.
