1938 UK Standee Set

This 9-piece set of promotional standees dates from the original 1938 theatrical release of Snow White in the United Kingdom. Made of hand-painted plywood, the figures are in remarkably good shape considering their age. The Prince stands approximately 60" tall, the Dwarfs around 30".

The set was up for auction in December of 2011.

  1. Very good quality considering their age! Very cool somebody stashed them away! =) Plywood cutouts are very effective!

    1. Very effective! I like that even though they follow the character designs set by the studio, each has its own handmade feel as well.

  2. Wow, amazing. I don't suppose you remember what they went for?

    1. I never discovered what they sold for, but I bet it was a pretty penny for such a rare set as this.
