Rudolph And The Island Of Misfits Toys




Considered a Christmas classic the stop-motion animation Rudolph And The Island Of Misfit Toys has thrilled kids young and old on TV for decades.

Memory Lane produced a number of partially articulated action figures based on the show.

Look for Clarice (with rabbit), Santa Claus with a misfit toy and his bag of presents and King Moonracer with misfit toy.  All are faithful reproductions of the original stop-motion figures.

All of the figures come in clear hanger/standup packages with the Rudolph logo displayed predominantly at the top.

The Clarice figure with four animals (like all the figures) is held in place in form-fitting clear plastic cocoons.

Clarice with painted alight tan with white belly, large black eyes with eyelashes, a red hair ribbon and a cut pug nose set n a white muzzle.

Her legs and head move.

Two small white rabbits with long ears and fluffy tails and two dark gray raccoons with the characteristic black masks and pointed ears make up the set.

A Clarice banner with the image of Frosty The Snowman decorates the bottom of the package while on the back (of all the packages) the entire set of toys ion the Rudolph set re shown--and there are a bunch of them!

The Santa figure look like you would expect it to with a red coat and pants trimmed in white fur around the waist, collar and sleeve cuffs, a large black belt with a silver buckle, black boots, white gloves and a large red cap with fur trimming.

Santa has two black bead eyes, heavy white eyebrows, bears and mustache and rosy colored complexion.  He is fully articulated in the torso, arms, neck and wrists.

A small white elephant with pink polka dots elephant toy with black eyes and a blue nose and Santa's brown cloth bag of toys completes the set.

King Moonracer is a large furry and fuzzy figure with a large black nose, whiskers, expressive black eyes an impressive tail and two large wings.  His head pivots and legs move slightly.

The same elephant toy as mentioned above is included.  The only difference being is that it wears a red bellboy cap with a black chinstrap.

All of the figure are expertly sculpted, feature great coloration or texturing (such as the lion) and articulation is smooth, form and well hidden.

I picture all of the figures on a fireplace mantel or grouped around a Christmas tree during the holidays.  Kids will love them!
