A Figure from Popular Culture?

This figure stands approximately 90mm tall. It is cast from a sturdy PVC like plastic and with an articulate head, arms, legs, and tail. This figure like the others of this mini-series was lost and found.

Lost & Found: Raggedy Ann Figure

This gal has seen better days and has made it to my “Lost and found series. Although she was played with heavily, even by the family dog, by the looks of the teeth marks on her torso she did clean-up nicely.

After digging her up, another toy found in my garden, she was given a bath and scrubbed with a tooth brush. Once she was dry she was thoroughly inspected. This woman has got some curves. She stands approximately 65mm tall. I don’t know what type of plastic she is cast, but I am guessing PVC? She feels dense and has some bulk has I grip her in my hand. Don't judge.
