My Alice in Wonderland collection - Mattel Mini Collection

 In the late 90's Mattel released a series of Polly Pocket style Disney toys. Incredibly (at the time) they made some Alice ones too. Let me tell  you that my heart skipped a beat when I found the first one in a local toy store.
Mattel made 2 sets (+ an extra small one), a larger one with a house and Mad Tea Party and river which was the most common (and that I'll show you some other time) and this one, that is much more rare.

It is a cute little heart-shaped box.

When  you gently  press the heart button you get to the "secret make-up" compartment with a mirror and a lip gloss.

And when you press firlmy you open the main compartment, complete with a White Rabbit House, Tea Party and garden.

The details are perfect, really well thought out.

And you also get this cute little teapot...when you click on the button...

...the dormouse appears!

Friday favorites...sort of

Let's face it, I no longer surf the Internet as much as I used to, I am not as interested in new "things" as I used to be and I hardly ever buy new things...so this section seemed increasingly meaningless to me...this is it then! (for the time being, I could change my mind again though...)

But here's a last thing I really liked this week, it's already all over but if you haven't seen it yet ...here, bathe in the unbearable cuteness and nostalgia...

The Falcor plush luck dragon. It is handmade by GameGuardians on Etsy and is currently out of stock but you can get the pattern with complete instructions too. 

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.
