Disney Dumbo 1990 and 1993

Pluto

In 1990 a Disney Dumbo figurine was produced and was available in the USA only. This Dumbo has black eyes. Only 3,000 of these were made, which were sold exclusively in Disney parks. It has a very similar body to the “mainstream” Silver Crystal elephants in issue at that time with a blocked body (ie no individual legs), but if you look closely you may also notice some of the other components on this Dumbo look familiar. The ears are the 1988 Woodpecker wings and the curly top on the hat is a component also used for the tail of the large crystal tailed pig! This Dumbo just tops 2 ½” in height (67mm) and this one bears the swan logo.

Moving on to 1993, another Dumbo was produced and while the body was similar, there were a couple of design changes, namely a new frosted hat plus this Dumbo has blue eyes. A tiny bit shorter than the black eyed dumbo, this one is 2 ¼” tall (56mm). This piece was available worldwide in Disney parks and was not limited by number as per the original black eyed piece. Retired in 1996, this piece is the first figurine to show the Swarovski swan logo alongside the Disney stamp.
