Item Description
3.5" painted and glazed figurine. Nicely detailed with flowers on his outfit. In 1937 F.W. Woolworth commissioned Wade to make a licensed figurine of Dopey. Executives planned to issue one figure each year from 1938 to 1945, allowing loyal shoppers to build up a full set of dwarves. However, only Dopey was produced and even this was in apparently very limited numbers as this is only the second we've seen (the other in a totally different color scheme w/flowers). Also, this is not to be confused with the same style figure made by Wade but cellulose. Tiny trace of crazing, mainly on back. Glossy, Exc.
