Scrooge Ornament

Here's a Scrooge ornament made by Grolier.  It looks like Scrooge may have angel wings but I can't be sure from this picture.  Anybody know the year this was from? 

Comparing ebay auctions reveals that this was also done with a light blue coat as well as the white shown here.

Uncle Scrooge Busted!

Limited edition of 1500.  Retail:  $64.99  Manufactured by Enesco as Grand Jester Studios.  8" High.  Part of a series of Disney character busts made out of polystone. 

Looks a lot like the Mickey's Christmas Carol version of the character but "ole number one" was included so obvoiously the sculptor knew what he was doing.

Duck statuettes

Taken from the Scoop newletter:

Dark Horse Comics has announced that its forthcoming limited-edition statuette of Disney’s Uncle Scrooge character has sold out its edition.
Uncle Scrooge, the first Syroco-like figure in a line of six Disney characters (all related to the world of Scrooge McDuck), is scheduled to be released August 5, 2009. There are six statuettes scheduled for the initial series.
Modeled after products that were popular in the 1930s and 1940s, Dark Horse’s Syroco-like figures have enjoyed success and critical acclaim in a number of other series including Classic Comic Characters (comic strip characters such as Krazy Kat, Dick Tracy, Popeye, and so on), Classic Comic Book Characters (ranging from Magnus Robot Fighter to Elfquest, Classic DC Comics Characters (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash), Peanuts, Kellogg’s, and mot recently The Simpsons.
Based on stories by Carl Barks, the Uncle Scrooge Comics Characters line, like the other Syroco-like figures from Dark Horse, have been designed and sculpted by Yoe! Studio. The first two pieces are limited to 950 hand-numbered figures each, and the run will be reduced after that, the company said.
Following Uncle Scrooge’s arrival in August, the other five figures will arrive monthly in sequence: Donald Duck (September), Gyro Gearloose (October), Magica De Spell (November), Gladstone Gander, (December) and one of the Beagle Boys will round out the program in January 2010.
“We are delighted with the support from the collector marketplace,” Dark Horse product development head David Scroggy said, “although it comes as no surprise given the worldwide collector base for Uncle Scrooge. Many consider these to be among the best comics ever produced, and we hope to equal that high standard with these pieces.”
As with the other Syroco-like lines Dark Horse has produced, each hand-numbered statuette comes packaged in a custom-tooled, full-color, litho-printed tin box, which also includes a small booklet about each character and a vintage-style pin-back button.

Personally, I think that looks a lot more like Donald playing the part in a Scrooge style costume but as you can see Disney is claiming it's Uncle Scrooge.

Magic Slates

Sorry, I haven't been posting here lately. Just haven't had the time.

Here's a couple of magic slates published by Whitman.

Beagle Boys pvc

Here's a pvc figure I've never seen before. Based on the Ducktales tv show version of the Beagles clan.

Money Bin

The ebay auction I got these pics from was in another language so I don't know anything about this except what is in the pics. At first I thought maybe it was a playset but the back view makes it look like a bank. Most kids would use it as both.

Beagle Boys Puppet

This hand puppet from europe is really neat. I'm guesing there was at least a Scrooge one also. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a whole series with Gyro, Magica, etc?

Talking Scrooge Bank

This bank has a working clock in the front and says one of 12 things when a coin is dropped in.

Greed is Good

According to the ebay listing this shirt is/was available at the Disney Store.

The first one?

This pin is part of the Coke set that was issued in various boxed sets during the 15th anniversary of Walt Disney World. I'm pretty sure that this is the first american Scrooge McDuck pin having been made before the current Disney pin craze was created in 2000, but are there ones from other countries, where Scrooge is much more popular, that are earlier then this?

Carl Barks Bronze

This bronze figurine based on a Carl Barks painting was originally sold at the Disneyana Convention in 1997. It is a limited edition of 176.

Scrooge got Mugged

Not sure when this mug was released but it was from the Disney Store.

Scrooge Pewter train car

This pewter figurine was made by Hudson Pewter and is one of several pieces featuring Disney characters that can be hooked together as a train. The wheels really work.

The Miser's Voice

This is a publicity picture of Scrooge's voice Alan Young. Issued while Duck Tales was in production it would have been used as part of a publicity kit or produced for autograph sessions.

Another cool tie

Who knew there wer so many Scrooge McDuck ties? I like this one the best so far. It is currently on ebay for a very reasonable price. I'm not going to bid since I will probably never wear a tie in my entire life.

Scrooge McDuck Rubber Doll

Here we have a rubber squeeze toy from Portugal and Germany.

Pinned in Paris

This pin was first issued at the Disneyland Paris Resort in 2005.

Scrooge McDuck, Treasurer

The Disney theme parks have been letting the guests exchange their currency for Disney Dollars for over twenty years. Scrooge McDuck has never been depicted on any of the various bills but his signature is on each and every one as the treasurer.

This original sketch by Carl Barks recently sold for $405 on ebay.

Fit To Be Tied Again

Here's another great example of classy neckwear.

These little figures are actually collectible thimbles made by Lenox. I imagine these are part of a series of Disney characters but haven't been able to verify it.

Here's another fine example of a Scrooge McDuck buckmobile. I got the picture from the italian ebay site and not speaking italian I know nothing about it.

Scrooge Action Figure

I recently purchased this Action figure of Scrooge McDuck. So far I've resisted the temptaion of opening the package.
Made by Playing Mantis in 2003 and part of a line that consists of 8 more figures. Accessories include a stack of coins, a hat, a cane, a candlestick, a toy trumpet, a toy soldier and a toy sack.
