Italian company Lars produced Disney dolls from the 1950s into the 1970s. The original patterns for these dolls in a smaller 20" tall size are reputed to have been created for Walt Disney himself, who gave them to dignitaries visiting the studio. Licensed by Disney, these dolls were not sold in the US, resulting in their rarity. Lars dolls are among the nicest Disney dolls ever produced. This giant size doll stands nearly 4’ at 44" tall. Stuffed felt w/wire inserts for posing. Detailing includes tuft of hair on top of Mickey's head, large plastic eyes (w/obvious aging) w/pie cut design. Made in Italy, 1975. Shows lt. aging and .5" streak of soiling on nose. Still VF. Among the rarest Disney dolls produced by Lars and the only the second example we have offered in our 47 years.
