20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Capt. Nemo's Nautilus Replica



Today, eFX Collectibles will begin accepting orders for their four-foot replica of Capt. Nemo's Nautilus, inspired by Disney's 1954 live-action version of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This is the first of three replicas which will be offered in eFX's new Disney line.


This four-foot replica of the Nautilus offers features not incorporated in any previous model of the iconic submarine. Produced at approximately 1/45th scale, the replica features finely detailed interior views of the wheelhouse and Capt. Nemo's salon, as well as LED lights to illuminate those rooms and the circular salon observation window.
In addition to a removable skiff, the Nautilus incorporates a freely rotating propeller and pivoting rudder, and includes a custom display stand. Each Nautilus will have a numbered plaque and certificate of authenticity, and production will be strictly limited to 500 pieces worldwide.



But the Nautilus won't come cheap, with a price tag of $1,799. All orders for the Nautilus placed prior to December 31, 2009, will receive a special early pre-order price of $1,699, and will also receive a special certificate, suitable for framing, on a reproduction of the Disney Studios stationery used during the film's production in 1954. Shipping is anticipated to take place in spring 2010.

Not really a Disney prop - just based on a Disney film.  eFx seems determined to make some very high end and high priced items.  I'm not quite sure why or how well they will sell for them.  I personally would think a Nautilaus more in the $500 range would sell much better.

It is huge...  There is a cool pic on their site of one of their staffers holding the replica and standing beside the original model in the Disney museum(which is around 12 feet long).  Where do you put a four foot model?

Beside your giant squid replica? :biggrin

I have the original one the Master Replicas made. It does not have the internal pieces. It's a nice piece.

and yes it's 4ft long but looks great displayed.
Ripley: Ash. Any suggestions from you or Mother?
Ash: No, we're still collating.
Ripley: [Laughing in disbelief] You're what? You're still collating? I find that hard to believe.
