- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Nine Disney domes, all in same basic design, featuring characters from different movies.
Characters are:
* Cinderella
* Dusty (Planes)
* McQueen (Cars)
* Mickey
* Minnie
* Snow White
* Sofia (Sofia the First)
* Tinker Bell
* Winnie the Pooh
Bases are 46 mm diameter and the domes are 50 mm (2 inches or 5 Lego bricks) tall.
Each dome has an outside printed label with the character name. Inside are two panels - the character is on the front panel with a plain coloured transparent background. The rear panel has some scenery or design that shows through, with the character name and copyright details on the rear of the back panel. There is no additional model or trademark info on the domes.
I bought these as part of a collection so I have no information on them at all. I don't even know where they were released - I suspect they are Australian local retail product, and they are small enough to be fast food toy premiums, but the usual collector sites have drawn a blank. The most recent is from Planes (2014). I cannot find a comparable example of any of these having been offered for sale on EBay or other sites before, so whatever they are, there does not seem to be many of these around,. I hesitate to say 'rare', but certainly they are not at all common, and I don't know whether the full set numbers more than nine in total.
Being offered as a set and priced to go.

The fine print
I am a collector myself so I have strong opinions about how fragile items should be sent through the post. Your item will be securely wrapped, and this might mean choosing slightly larger or sturdier packaging, but I figure you'd rather that than the alternative.
I am happy to take any questions on items or to provide additional info or pics before the sale closes if you need them to make up your mind. I make the effort to research items before they are put up for sale, but this is only as good as my sources. If you think I have misidentified or misrepresented any item, then please get in touch - I like to learn more myself.
Please take note of any condition statements in the description - I will only refund on fresh damage (I take pics of everything before it is boxed). A 'used' item will have had a previous life and you should expect some scuffing, fading or use wear, but I will note any specific damage. Returns are at buyer expense.
If the snow dome has an accessible plug I will remove most of the water if it can be easily refilled. This will reduce weight and is safer all round for the dome, the postie and you. If you have a collectibles itch that needs scratching NOW, just tell me and we'll investigate sooper-dooper double deluxe express posting.
For me this is not a business. I have collected stuff for a long time and EBay is a great way to recirculate things to other collectors in a safe and reliable way. I hope you find the experience a good one. If you do, please leave a positive review. And I welcome useful criticism or suggestions how to improve the service.
