This is a very fine piece of art, and there is no doubt Bill is a great artist (he's also a super nice seller, but that is another story).
for some strange reason The Imperial Dignitary has always been one of my favorite vintage figures. I saw it in the cataloug back in 1985, but never found it in the local toy store. You can say it was one of the figures i allways wanted ut never got as a youngster back then.
