Title: Baby Disney 1992 Globe Cake Topper. EDIT: I found a new lead, thanks ZUSE!
Post by: chelsmith18 on Wednesday 26 October 2011, 07:59 pm: Here's a hard one. I'm almost wondering if it can be done. Glory to God! I'm looking for the water globe cake toppers on this cake. The year this was taken was in 1992. For my third birthday. I know this is blurry but the picture itself was blurry as well. It's sort of a dream of mine to find this again so any help could be appreciated.

I'm just looking for the globe sticks, filled with water. mickey [he is not baby mickey] (yellow globe) and an unidentified blurry character in the red stick. Mickey has a red bow tie, and a blue jacket from what I can tell. The other character is wearing red in the front and black in the back. The stick with the yellow globe also appears to have stripes making downward arrows going all the way down. Please help!!

EDIT: I THINK THE RED GLOBE CHARACTER MAY BE DRESSED ALOT LIKE THE FIGURINE SEEN HERE: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICKEY-MOUSE-PVC-FIGURE-3-Tall-Cake-Topper-Disney-/120800073987 pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c203ed903#ht_500wt_1202

I was confused at first because my eyes were tricky and I thouht something was in front of her ear, but it's really just a space between her ear and the black arm, a space looking down on the cake.

Post by: zuse on Thursday 27 October 2011, 02:12 am: I think those decorations are probably pencil toppers on pencils/pens? Seems like I had something like those (not Disney) back in the day.

(My mom used to improvise my cake decorations - I had one cake with my little people and their swing set sitting on top).

Could you see if you can find the ones YOU used to have? It may give an idea of what I'm looking for here. If you wish, please. Thanks!!

Post by: zuse on Thursday 27 October 2011, 03:57 pm: No, those are long long gone. I don't know if they were shaped the same, but it was just a snowglobe with a figure inside that mounted on a pencil. It was probably a snowman inside or something, but same concept.

Post by: zuse on Thursday 27 October 2011, 04:01 pm: Found a few pictures of some video game and cartoon themed ones. The Mario one is marked Applause 1989, apparently. Link is also. I assume the Ghostbusters cartoon ones were too. Based on the subjects of these I've seen, they were out in the late 80s or the early 90s. Probably available in the party favor aisle or somewhere, which is how they wound up on your cake.

Post by: zuse on Saturday 29 October 2011, 08:25 pm: But those aren't snowglobes/waterglobes.

I'm going to say that Applause had a license to produce a bunch of the characters this time period as decorative pencils. If you look, there is a Baby Mickey line of toys by Applause from about this time period.

Post by: catlover51 on Saturday 29 October 2011, 11:36 pm: I have pencils and the toppers for Marvin the Martin, Tweety Bird and Scooby Doo. I'm pretty sure I have a few more but those are the only ones I remember.
If you are just looking for tiny snow domes that weren't pencil toppers there was a set from Arby's Cindy Bear, Snagglepuss and Yogi Bear.
There were also several that were tiny domes that weren't pencil toppers without snow. I have some Disney ones.

Are yours Applause brand?

I'm not sure but I can check.

EDIT: THANKS ZUSE!!! ONE of the Cake toppers have been identified. As APPLAUSE BRAND. Still searching for the others so please don't move this to the "ID'ed" forum yet!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Disney-Mickey-Mouse-Figurine-Phone-2-Inches-High-Applause-/180730947987?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a14676993#ht_727wt_952

Post by: Mysstica on Thursday 10 November 2011, 10:44 pm: I could be wrong, but every time I see this picture, I think that the Mickey in the bubble looks like he's dressed like Santa/in Christmas clothes. If he actually is, it could help in your search. :)

I decided a while later after making the thread that I would look for the others in hopes I could find them all under one company name. I did't really tell anyone that, sorry. As for the Minnie, though the picture made it look more pink, the ribbons that come down from her bows don't match with my picture. In my picture, her bows had no ribbons, but I think this one was the closest I found oddly enough. I have no memory of what her clothes were.

Post by: chelsmith18 on Friday 05 April 2013, 09:25 pm: Praise God! In Jesus Name, Amen! That was quick...all Ebay needs is time. Found the candle...I thought it said ABC but I was wrong. I'm so fascinated. The photo is quite blurry un real life so to get a real picture pieced together is touching. I wouldn;t call the thread completely Id'ed yet though, still seeking the snow globes toppers.
