Most people love Walt Disney films so there was nothing surprising when Wade Pottery brought out products along the Disney theme. To me however one of the most successful Wade figurines issues has to come from the Hatbox collection.
Altogether there are more than forty different hatbox figures produced in four sets, over two different time settings and seven films. The Disney hatbox figures are mainly larger than a Wade Whimsie with a few exceptions and are highly collectable.
Wade prices rise steadily but because this collection appeals to all age brackets – who has not heard of Disney’s lady and the Tramp, or Bambi or even Sword in the Stone, the prices are set to continue to increase because of this well known branding.
No matter if you are a fan of Bambi or a fan of the Fox and Hounds, or like me a fan of Lady and the Tramp, you will find these exquisite characters a delight and they are a must for any serious Wade collector or Disney fan. Here is a list of the hatbox characters issued within each set:
Set 1 Wade hatbox characters from Lady and the Tramp:
- Jock
- Lady
- Peg
- Scamp
- Tramp
- Trusty
Set 2 Wade hatbox characters from Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo and Fantasia:
- Am
- Baby Pegasus
- Bambi
- Dachie
- Dumbo
- Flower
- Si
- Thumper
- Toughy
Set 3 Wade Hatbox characters from 101 Dalmatians and the Sword in the Stone:
- Archimedes
- Girl Squirrel
- Lucky
- Madam Mim
- Merlin as a Caterpillar
- Merlin as a Hare
- Merlin as a Turtle
- Rolly
- Sergeant Tibbs
- The Colonel
This third set was issued between 1961 and 1962.
The second Issue Wade Hatbox characters were from Bambi, Fox and Hound and Lady and the Tramp and were issued between 1981 and 1985:
- Bambi
- Big Mama
- Chief
- Copper
- Dachie
- Jock
- Lady
- Peg
- Scamp
- Tod
- Tramp
- Thumper
This set contained reissued models made from the same moulds as the first issue along with some new characters.
Out of all the Disney hatbox characters the figurines from the Sword in the Stone issue are the most valuable today due to productivity of numbers, with prices of Merlin as a Turtle and Merline as a Caterpiller running close to £150 each!
