Four new figures have been announced of Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck and the nephews. It’s Dark Horse’s second series of Syroco-style statues based on artwork by Carl Barks, following six others that were released last year. These new ones will come out from August to October and can now be pre-ordered at Things From Another World for $39.96 each:

#1: Uncle Scrooge in the Klondike (August 25th, 2010)	#2: Donald Duck with “Square Eggs” (September 15th, 2010)
#3: Uncle Scrooge “Cash N’ Carry” (September 22nd, 2010)	#4: Huey, Dewey and Louie (October 20th, 2010)

A while ago I posted pictures of four of the six new statues by Dark Horse of Disney characters based on the art of Carl Barks. The first one of Uncle Scrooge has now come out and the other five will be released in the coming months.

I received my copy of Scrooge a couple of weeks ago and it is indeed beautiful. The Syroco-style small statues come in a special tin with pin and booklet. Each statue is limited to 950 numbered pieces.

The latest two statues in the series will be of Gladstone Gander (release date December 16th) and Beagle Boy 176-761 (February 3rd):

The statues can be pre-ordered at TFAW.com for $49.99 each, although the Scrooge statue has apparently already sold out (source: here and here).

There will be six statues in total: Uncle Scrooge (release date: September 16th), Donald Duck (September 9th), Gyro Gearloose and Helper (October 21st), Magica de Spell (October 7th), Gladstone Gander and one of the Beagle Boys. All except Donald are characters created by Carl Barks.
