Mickey Mouse Brave Little Tailor Clock

Brave Little Tailor Tuesday!

On the last couple Tuesdays I discussed 2 items I bought way back in 1996 from the Official Disneyana Convention, a mug and a hat. Today I'd like to share a resin clock I purchased on eBay, also from the convention.

Mickey as the Brave Little Tailor measures 5 1/4 inches high from the bottom of the base to the tip of his feather.

The clock battery has expired, and needs to be replaced.

Like the mug, this clock is limited to 2000 pieces.

I also have an ornament from the convention, which I originally purchased in 1996, which I will share in a future post.

Mickey's Brave Little Tailor Disneyana Hat

Brave Little Tailor Tuesdays!

Last Tuesday I discussed the 1996 Disneyana Convention, and showed the mug I purchased a few weeks after the convention ended. Today, let's take a look at the hat...

I'm not a hat guy, but had to have this one, for the awesome Mickey Brave Little Tailor.

 

The official Disneyana Logo.

Goofy's Hat Co.

Made in the USA! WOW! Sadly, that comes as a surprise!

It's really just an awesome hat in general. Next Tuesday I'll be sharing a really great item I picked up on eBay. And for even more great hats, check out this post by my wife! And if that weren't enough, check out this post for pics of our friends in hats!

Mickey's Brave Little Tailor Disneyana Mug

Brave Little Tailor Tuesday!

Back in the early 90's, Disney started to hold Official Disneyana Conventions. I didn't make it to one of them. I'm not sure this was a bad thing, since I heard mixed reviews on the organization of these events, and I really couldn't afford a majority of the merchandise being offered anyway.

The one year I was very disappointed I didn't go was 1996. Each year of the convention had a theme, and 1996's was The Brave Little Tailor, my favorite Mickey Mouse cartoon. The convention was September 3-7th, and I had already scheduled a trip for later that month, so I could be at the park for Walt Disney World's 25th anniversary on October 1st, so I was out of luck. 

Or was I? To my astonishment, there were several convention items for sale in the Magic Kingdom! I bought a few of the more affordable items, and they have been favorites for years.

Today, let's take a look at the mug I bought way back in 1996.

The graphics and color are just beautiful, just like Princess Minnie.

The giant can't believe there were still mugs left after the convention...

...because they were limited to 2,000 pieces!

Made exclusively for the Walt Disney Theme Parks and Resorts. Please stop back next Tuesday to see a hat from this convention.

Mickey Mouse Brave Little Tailor Gold Trading Card

Brave Little Tailor Tuesday!
When I first found this case inside a box in my garage, I had no idea what it was. Authentic Images?

Flipping it over helped a bit. But I still wasn't sure what I was going to find inside.

A gold trading card?!

 

 

Why did I buy this? Well, I love Brave Little Tailor. And it's a pretty limited piece. Only 1000!

What did I pay for this? No idea. But it's 24K Gold, according to the Certificate of Authenticity! Wow!

Where did I buy it? I could assume it came from the 1996 Official Disneyana Convention, which featured the Brave Little Tailor. I have many items from this convention, picked up from eBay (sadly I wasn't there!) through the years. But, there is no indication that it was part of that event. Maybe in 1998? In the image above, in the lower left hand corner, you can see, printed, DIS-2-98.

Regardless of why, where, and when, I'll be hanging on to it. Stop back in the future to see what else I might pull out of that garage!
