In celebration of the Year if the Rabbit, here’s a little lucky guy you might recognize. Disney acquired (or should I say traded?) the trademark for beloved sportscaster Al Michaels way back in 2006. That very week, I was asked to design a figurine for Oswald that would celebrate his arrival at that year’s Licensing Show in Las Vegas. I took a more stylized approach to the character that was loosely based on a lot of vinyl toys I had at the time. I believe 200 resin statues of it were produced for the show and they unfortunately weren’t for sale. Well, that is until they produced pins of the design which you can still probably find at the Disney Parks. It’s your year Oswald! Go nuts!! #oswaldtheluckyrabbit #oswald #lunarnewyear #yearoftherabbit #yearoftgerabbit2023 #disneypins https://www.instagram.com/p/CnwpcMdutNC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
