Specimen: Mickey Mouse
Location: Unknown. I have images of a number of Disney figures in Mold-A-Rama form. As yet, whether machines were placed at Disney theme parks or licensed for general use is unknown. Moldaramaville has tracked a Jiminy Cricket figure to the American Pavilion at the 1967 World’s Fair in Montreal. Inscript: “Mickey Mouse” (front) (a “© Walt Disney Productions” was found on the rear of all Disney figures) Color: brown |
