Overview
This 3-inch designer vinyl collectible comes from Disney's official Vinylmation 'Have-A-Laugh' series, designed by Disney artist Eric Caszatt. It pays homage to the classic 1935 animated short 'Mickey's Garden', depicting Mickey Mouse splattered with garden insecticide/pumpkin mush on a stylized Mickey-shaped vinyl canvas.
Story
Released around 2011, this figure honors the surreal 1935 cartoon 'Mickey's Garden', one of Mickey's earliest color appearances. Eric Caszatt cleverly mapped Mickey's garden misadventures directly onto Disney's iconic vinyl silhouette.
Maker / Origin
Eric Caszatt is a prominent Disney Design Group artist who contributed extensively to the Disney Vinylmation and Pin Trading collectible lines. Disney launched Vinylmation in 2008 as a direct response to the global urban vinyl toy movement, using Mickey's standard body shape as a canvas for park artists.
Condition & Value
