My Alice in Wonderland collection - King cake porcelain figurines

In France and Belgium  Epiphany Day ( the Celebration of the 3 Wise Men) in early January is celebrated with a special cake (the King Cake or Galette des rois) in which a little item called "fève" (bean, as originally the item was an uncooked bean) is hidden. The person who gets the "fève" is king or queen for a day.
The tradition dates back to Ancient Rome ...for more info, check Wikipedia ;)
Fèves are highly collectibles so it's not surprising that they made Alice and Disney ones.

The Queen and King of Hearts

This porcelain set is from 1997.  It was made by Arguydal.
Every few years they make a new version. I sure would like the gold and platinum edition  with an Alice holding Dinah :)

My Alice in Wonderland collection

Alice, Hagen-Renaker

 This is probably the cutest and oldest piece in my collection. It was sold at Disneyland during the 60's.

Alice, mini bust, Disney Classics Expression

 A much more recent piece.

Mini Alice figurine

 I find this one irresistible. It is a tiny build-it-yourself Gashapon figurine from Japan. It is designed after the art from the Little Golden Book book.

Miniature diorama in a matchbox

 Another Gashapon from Japan.

Alice and Mad Hatten thimble Christmas ornaments

 Christmas ornaments by Hallmark. Alice is from 1995, the Mad Hatter from 1996.

Disneykins Alice

 Another older collectible figurine. Disneykins were sold  in the 60's and 70's. I call it the grumpy Alice.

Mad Hatter and Alice on a saucer with half teacup keyring

 Another Gashapon from Japan.

Alice reading

 And another gashapon figurine ...

 And another one.

Alice with sweets in a bottle

And another one (from the same series as the half teacup above).

Gashapons are vending machines and also refer to the toys you get from them ...in case you don't know ;)
I have so many Alice things...I don't really know how to organize them...so I apologize if this looks random...but it completely is.
