I found this Mickey at a thrift store in excellent like new condition. I thought it looked odd, so I googled it, only to find absolutely NO information about it. It is an 18 inch plush Disney Store Exclusive called "Iced Mickey". Can anyone tell me any information at all on this piece? I just want to know more about it, is it collectible, rare, how old, etc. ?
The image didn't load for me but I was able to pull it up by grabbing the URL from the properties of it. For anyone else who had the same issue, try this link: http://i48.tinypic.com/v654pj.jpg
That said I will say I saw similar Mickey's to this years ago. I thought it was on property though but must not have been if you say it's a Dis Store Exclusive. I love research projects so I'll see if I can help ya... (and ultimately fail but have fun doing it).
Based on the prices I'd say you did good picking it up at a thrift store.
EDIT: Found him on a few other sites. Cheapest I saw him selling for was $15. If I had to guess, he's like most Disney Store Exclusives in that he's worth more to those who have him than he is collectible wise. When you consider how many plush toys they make/sell at those stores, his rarity probably is only in the sense that he isn't made anymore. He's adorable though and I wish I had seen him at a thrift store!
I know...those were the only 3 links I could find pertaining to this specific Mickey. I just found it odd that couldn't find any concrete information on him, like the year he was produced and such. We did do well with how much he's selling for compared to how much we paid for him (only paid a little over $2.00 for him!)..so that part is exciting..Thank you so much for your research! i'm going to continue mine, as well..hopefully I find some info so I can update
