Coheteboy-
Where did you buy most of your figures from? Was it through eBay or did you have any particular stores that imported them?

In 2001, I was in Asia traveling and I saw the first series of the Tomy figures. At first I was all "hey those are cool" and I went on my way. As the days passed and I would see them again, I just knew I had to have them. They were $5 each (american) so I splurged and bought a mess of them.

When I returned to the states, I went to Frank n Sons (a weekly collectible toy show every wednesday and saturday) and saw that some of the Japanese import dealers carried them. I talked to one in particular and arranged that I would buy from him if he hooked me up. So everytime he went to Japan, he'd come back with more of the figures that I wanted and ultimately I was able to get them all.

Over the years the price went from $5 to $8 to $10.

There is ONE of these figures I failed to get: Walt & Mickey Partners statue. Yup, they made a figure of this and it was really really rare. Never did see that one in person.

Is there a picture of this somewhere? I have yet to find one.

That's how rare it is.

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I finished this collection today:

The dolls have gone down in quality since I got most of mine. Just bought Prince Charming and Snow White's Prince to finish the shelf. I'm glad I got all of the girls way back when. Along with the packaging, the Disney Store has changed the dolls' structure (adding joints to the female's arms and wrists), but their clothing has really gone down in quality. Particularly Tiana and Naveen who have now been inducted into the official Disney Hierarchy. If you compare my Tiana to the one they sell now you'd be shocked at how cheap the new one looks.

Yeah, they're cheapo barbie dolls to begin with, but us low-budget collectors take what we can get. If I could afford the PFs or Big Figs I wouldn't waste my time on The Disney Store.

I'm missing quite a few since I only buy them a few at a time when I can (esp. since shipping it in from Japan is expensive and most of the figures avg. at $15 to $20 a piece). The ones that I'm really looking for at the moment are Prince Charming, Prince Eric, Mrs. Potts set, Scar, and all of the Alice in Wonderland ones.

I spent a long time completing the Dwarf set and was finally able to do it last year. I think Dopey is almost impossible to find. I had to buy a bulk set of figures in order to get him. Its now become a goal to get the entire collection.

Hey Rick,

I may have the Prince Charming Tomy figure....

Nice collection, Cloud! I'm disappointed with the quality that is on the market now, too I'll post my Disney stuff here, pretty soon!

Thanks man! The only reason I started collecting them was seeing your awesome pics on MiceChat and Michael's Review of the Week!

Nice !!

Thanks! The majority of them are. The only ones that aren't are the Transformers Mickey (Takara), the Lilo in Stitch costume (mindStyle) and the Cheshire Cat (Span of Sunset). The rest are all "Medicom Disney Vinyl Collectible Dolls".

AlisonAmy did you ever get the Mattel Captain Hook doll? That one looked pretty cool.
