About a baking bear and a very old duck

Today I got another walking Bimbo bear like the one I got some months ago. What makes him different is that he really comes complete, still holding his trademark bread loaf and sporting his ear tag. But like the other one, he’s supposed to walk and dance… Although he didn’t. Maybe is because his age. Anyway it’s OK to me, since the odds of finding one of those bears in complete condition are very, very low, and I got this one for just a couple of dollars! =D

Also I found a very interesting toy:

He’s a vintage plastic Donald Duck doll, perhaps from the 60’s or 70’s, which I got for less than a dollar. Even when he looks very played-with (with some scuffs, stains and even cracks in the neck joint) and his clothes are very worn and faded, I really love him. It seems to me like if some kid (maybe he’s now a full-fledged adult) enjoyed playing with him a lot and had a lot of fun doing it, which adds some sweetness to his smile. Now he comes to me for having a second chance, and I won’t turn this little fella down. Donald deserves to get some love again =3

Nice to see some updates even though they aren't Roger-related. While the clothes on Donald need some work, the paintjob on him seem to have held up well.

Sadly I haven´t had enough luck finding Roger Rabbit related news. Maybe I could come up with something related to the wacky rabbit, in the next entries.

About Donald, I know his clothes are very worn-out, but I really love his vintage look. So I´ll keep him this way =3

I see, I do have a story from one of the RR comics scanned (Not the one I talked to you about on DA but another) If you're interested I could send it over for you to post on your blog.
