A Tribute To Tom Tumbusch And Tomart's Publications

Anyone who has been a toy collector or Disney fan will know Tomart's Magazines very well. When bookstores were prevalent and the internet was still in its early days, you relied heavily on these publications for the latest news on figures, statues, events and where to buy antique toys. The owner of Tomart's Publications, Tom Tumbusch, passed away in July of 2016. He's regarded as a pioneer in Disney History research and for many years his magazines were used as the best sources of information on toys, collections and more. Let's take a small look at the man who brought together legions of Disney fans and collectors alike in a very big way. (Photo by Gary Cruise)

Custom Jessica Rabbit Barbie

For a brief time there is an amazing Jessica Rabbit custom doll on eBay and it's quite the conversation piece. Taking inspiration from the Jessica Rabbit Mattel doll (released in 1999), this Barbie is made over to look like the cartoon siren of Toontown herself! While we still sit and wait for Disney to make a brand new version of Jessica in ANY type of doll form, take a look at this a one-of-a-kind custom that will have you panting like the patrons at the Ink and Paint Club.

Coming Soon - Roger Rabbit And Benny The Cab Britto Statues


Scheduled for Summer 2017 there will be two new Roger Rabbit characters added into the Romero Britto Collection. In 2013 a Jessica Rabbit bust was added to the catalog of Disney characters recreated in Britto's bright, bold style. Joining the list of Disney characters such as the Little Mermaid, Tinker Bell and Mickey Mouse, Jessica was later released as a full statue in 2016. This summer Benny the Cab and Roger Rabbit himself will be added to the collection, with the same signature graffiti style and cubist patterns. Roger will sell for $44.99. He stands at 6¾ inches tall and will feature one gold glittered glove. Benny will sell for $54.99. He will be 7 inches front to back and 3¼ inches tall. They are scheduled to be released some time in July 2017.
