Italian company Lars produced Disney dolls from the 1950s into the 1970s. The original patterns for these dolls in 20" tall size are reputed to have been created for Walt Disney himself, who gave them to dignitaries visiting the studio. Licensed by Disney, but these dolls were not sold in the US, resulting in their rarity. Lars dolls are among the nicest Disney dolls ever produced. This matched pair of 15" tall dolls depict Mickey and Minnie Mouse and are stuffed felt w/wire inserts for posing. Detailing includes tuft of hair on top of Mickey"s head, Minnie has eyelashes, hat w/flower and bows on shoes (one missing). Both have plastic eyes w/pie cut design (though Minnie's are mostly obscured by lashes). Mickey has "Lars" foil sticker dated 1975. Minnie has a few felt polka dot accents that are slightly lifting but intact and each doll has just the slightest trace of aging but remains VF/Exc. to NM overall.
