I used to have the Calico and I named her Mixie.  x3  I miss her!  I don't know what happened to mine either.  That one is from a thrift store.  Which one did you have?

Yes I'd love to give you some information on the Thumbelina item.  It is a Thumbelina Charm Set made by Dakin.  There are three variations known to me, I own several of one.

(Quite close to life size)


For a long time I was a serious Thumbelina collector.  However I find the merchandise hard to come by lately for some reason.  About two years ago there was something on eBay every other week.  Now it's mostly teacups, books, baby dolls and Barbie items - nothing from the film.  Thumbelina was my second favorite to B&tB!  I love meeting other Thumbelina fans.  :)  I am still working on my own website and it will feature a page for Thumbelina stuff.  I will share as soon as it's complete.  ^^

Thanks,
-Em

I used to have the ginger one and I loved it so much!
I used to take it everywhere with me :3


Thanks for your information on Thumbelina!
And thanks for the close-up of the picture!
Yes, because Barbie made a Thumbelina movie it is now even harder to find stuff because it's all Barbie...
I would love to see your site when it's finished!
I would love to know which items you had of Thumbelina!
Did they ever made a doll of her? (And Cornelius maybe?)
I really love meeting other Thumbelina fans too!

Another one of my favorite movies used to be All Dogs go to Heaven, Anastasia and the Land before Time :)

No problem.  Thank you!  Gosh I think I need to take a photo.. my Thumbelina stuff is so spread out now!  I'll be happy to post a pic eventually.

Yes, they made two versions of a single doll of her (I don't remember what size atm) and figures as well.  Figures included (with hair I think?) Thumbelina and Cornelius, then PVC had like.. Grumble, Mrs. Toad, Mr. Beetle, etc.  They also made costumes, bags, clothes, etc.  All this Thumbelina talk makes me wanna work on it more!  XD

Oh yeah my friend and I used to love Anastasia.  I love Don Bluth films.   ;D  I never had the doll of her up until a few months ago, but I had a Pooka (sp) the dog plush.

I just did some research on Thumbelina stuff,
and I found a picture of the doll.
Wow! She's so beautiful! I wish I had one! :)
This must be my new goal!

Do you have the doll of her?

Thank you for all the information, Em!
And I just can't wait to see all your stuff soon!
I'll keep an eye out!  :D

I have 2 Anastasia dolls!
The Paris one and Anya.
I would die for the special golden edition of her Royal Highness, though!

Haha, well honestly it's very hard to pick.  I guess if I HAD to it would be Starbrite Sparkles.
