After mentioning the Marx Disney figures yesterday, I figured while they were close at hand I might as well take pictures of them and post them. We got seven of them, originally, out of a big cardboard bin where they were mixed, indiscriminately. How we dug around! This was at a toy store in San Antonio, early '70's, I would say. We got Orange Mickey, Green Donald, Pink Goofy, Dopey, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, and Pink Jiminy Cricket. That Pink Jiminy was already missing a foot, but as he was the only one there we had to have it, despite any reservations Mom might have had. His appeal, of course, was that he was more or less in real-life scale. So was Tinkerbell. I'm not sure where our Tinkerbell is, whether if she is somewhere else in the Hoard, or if Susan (or maybe her girls) have her now. We got the others (including duplicates) from various places over the years, so that finally we had the entire set, including a complete Jiminy. I didn't realize until much later that they were the same sculpt as the Marx Disneykins, scaled up (or more likely the Disneykins were scaled down from them).
(Hubba-Hubba!)
