The Wax lion that you can find on ebay is not correct. It should say Niagara Falls. and the back of the base should not have anything on (inprint) in it. The View master is a mark II model. The big Question is which color do you go with. The Red - like the one on the DVD Box Cover OR the Black one - The one Jaye using in the open credits???
Wonderfalls is one of my favorite shows, very quirky and fun, love it! Always wanted to buy one of the wax lions on ebay, but as stated before there not correct, and went for way to much!!!

ain't that the truth. They went/go around $100 EACH!!!. :thumbsdown
The lions on ebay were ones produce specifically as giveaways by Fox. Aside from the "Wonderfalls" title that's suppose to be "Niagara Falls" and the material it's made of what other differences is there?
Almost a year ago, there was a seller with a wonderfalls lion with the Niagara Falls wording, but I forgot to bid on it. Also, there was a seller that sold the actual wind-up metal penguin that was used in one of the episodes.

on the back of base for the lion it says "FOX" and the one in the show didn't have anything on the base.

Because there's been a bit of an occasional flurry on Twitter about Wonderfalls, I figured it wouldn't hurt posting this on such an old thread - heck I landed on it, so why not? Anyway, you are correct but also incorrect. The lion(s) without anything on the back of the base were the actual props from the show and SUPER RARE, and you probably won't find it on eBay at any rate. The ones with FOX on the back were promos handed out by Fox and although pretty rare as well, not as much as the one(s) actually handled on the show. Either way, even the resin promo hand-out is a great find. There have been others making them out of wax, fairly decent ones, but those you'd definitely need to keep out of any heat!

Mine, either! That's how I knew it had to be a knock-off

Yes, the lion is the same

Pretty random cuz I barely remember the show anymore…

I wanted to get the monkey so bad but I could never find one.
I believe I got it at Barnes and noble back when the show was on. Couldn’t find it in brass so I followed a guy on this sites tutorial for painting fake brass statues to look like the Disney haunted mansion ones…
Can’t remember the dudes name
Just looked online and while I can find image, can’t seem to find a sale
But the sheer amount of em at the time, they must show up on eBay

Awww. Maybe now? I'm lucky that I have an aversion to monkeys and didn't want one of those myself. But even so, getting the lion when I did was pure luck 10 years ago, so never give up

Fair aversion… I fought that myself. I am not a monkey fan at all.
Little a-holes will rip off your face hands and d*ck…. Cannot trust!

Then maybe it's the Universe telling you, "No, no monkey for you!"
