This is a marvellous and cute Wade Figure from a TV Pets themed set called Bengo and His Puppy Friends. The figure available is as detailed in the title and as shown in the photos which is in lovely condition with just a small amount of age-related wear.  Some figures are highly collectible today so please take a look at all of our other Wade figures looking for new homes as we have many more, including some rare ones.

 

An artist known as Tim created Bengo the boxer puppy. The real name of Tim was William Timym and he was born in Vienna in 1902, where he later became a political cartoonist. Bengo made his first television appearance in June 1953. An early star of childrens television, Bengo isn?t as well-known as his contemporaries such as Muffin the Mule, Bill and Ben and Andy Pandy, yet Bengo collectables have become increasingly sought after.

 

Bengo was so adored that Wade decided to model him with a few of his friends as small porcelain figurines. Today, these TV Pets, launched in 1959, are popular with collectors and are amongst the most delightful figures ever produced by Wade, slightly bigger than Whimsies
