Thumper and His Siblings : Walt Disney Classics Collection

By Nick

Today I share Classics Collection figures of Thumper and his sisters.
Thumper measures 3″ high.



Like the Flower figure, I’ve had Thumper since 1993.

.

The figure is titled “Hee! Hee! Hee!…”, because, if memory serves, Thumper finds it amusing that Bambi has referred to his young skunk friend as a flower.



I think the paint on these actually give a feeling of texture. Just beautiful.



For the first production year, 1992, the Walt Disney Classics Collection featured a steamboat wheel mark, honoring Mickey Mouse’s 1928 debut in Steamboat Willie. There is also a special Bambi 50th Anniversary mention on this piece, that the Bambi and Flower pieces I have do not carry.



Doing a Google search, I found that Thumper has 4 sisters, named Trixie, Daisy, Ria, and Tessie. But, unfortunately, there is no indication as to which 2 are portrayed here.



This was an early gift from my wife, who felt that Thumper would like to have family with him.

.

Titled “Hello, Hello There”.

This also has the steamboat wheel mark, indicating it was made in 1992, as well as the 50th Anniversary tag.
