Some of Walt Disney’s classic creations are now in die cast form, and Jada Toys have taken these classic characters and are offering a high-end looking collectible figure at a low price point. Micky and Minnie Mouse are the two most recognized characters in this wave, which also could be said about Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
Micky Mouse is painted in metallic red pants, white gloves with black deco, and metallic yellow shoes. Minnie Mouse is sculpted in her metallic light blue and white dotted skirt, metallic red hat, metallic yellow shoes, and white gloves with black deco. Both of their head sculpts are painted in white, with black facial details such as the eyes, nose ears, and their arms, legs and tail are painted in black. On Minnie Mouse, there are red dots all over her face, which is likely just this particular figure and shouldn’t be a widespread problem. Minnie Mouse also has an open mouth, and you can see her red tongue. While most of the sculpt is die cast, some of it is plastic such as the ears, nose, arms and hands, as well as the tail. The flower on Minnie Mouse is also made of plastic.
Belle is offered in two different versions, Provincial Belle, and in her Gold Gown. The Provincial dress is painted in metallic blue and white deco, and she is holding a blue box painted in a darker metallic blue. There is also a stand on the bottom of the dress, that helps her stand as the two feet alone are too small to support the heaviness of the die cast parts. The shoes are painted in brown, and the facial details are sculpted with an open mouth, and brown hair in a pony tail. Belle in her Gold Gown is painted in metallic gold and yellow deco, The gown touches the floor, and helps her stand as the feet along are also too small and she would fall over without the extra support. On the bottom and the side of the gown, there is a pattern around the edges. The facial details are similar to Provincial Belle, with her mouth sculpted closed, and the hair is long with a yellow band on the top. The die cast parts include the clothing, and heads. The plastic parts include the hair, arms, and legs.
