A couple different sizes were produced. In the smaller set, the dwarf figures measure approximately 2.5" tall and Snow White 3.5".
Dan Alexander of the Dizmentia site has provided us with some close-up shots of the Dopey figure. The piece came from his grandmother's collection which she'd acquired during the movie's initial release in the late 1930s.
Here's a nice shot of the entire set from Major Pepperidge of Gorillas Don't Blog.
And another look from Heritage Auctions.
The dimensions of the smaller box are 5" x 9" x 1.5".
The larger set has a box size of 9.5'' x 17'' x 2.5''. The dwarfs stand approximately 4.875" tall, Snow is 6".
Old bisque figurines were some of the first Disney items I collected... mostly Mickey and Minnie, but others as well. I had various sizes of Snow White and the Dwarfs, ranging from about 2.5 inches tall to almost 5 inches tall. But I never had the boxes, as much as I wanted at least ONE. I still remember a very rare set in the box in which the Dwarfs are playing instruments, that one was expensive!
ReplyDeleteMajor, do you still have any of the Snow White figures? Pics?
DeleteI still have some, but they are pretty common... all except for one rare Snow White bisque with moveable arms. It's at my parent's house, but I'll try to take a photo of it the next time I'm there (should be soon).
ReplyDeleteSounds great Major. Thanks.
