Disney's 101 Dalmatians 'Dog Sledding' Snow Dome (McDonald's Collectible)

This item is a collectible Snow Dome featuring characters from Disney's '101 Dalmatians' franchise, specifically designed for a McDonald's promotional campaign. The item is presented within its original packaging, a rectangular cardboard box predominantly green with illustrative graphics. The front of the box prominently displays the '101 Dalmatians' logo, the phrase 'SNOW DOME', and an image of the snow dome itself. The design depicts two adult Dalmatians sitting on a red sleigh in the foreground, with a snow dome containing several Dalmatian puppies and possibly other small figures in the background, all set against a blue, snowy background. A yellow circular burst graphic with 'DOG SLEDDING' and the McDonald's 'M' logo indicates its theme and origin. The top right corner of the box includes the text 'COLLECT ALL FOUR!', suggesting this is part of a series. The physical snow dome inside the box is not fully visible but appears to be made of clear plastic or glass for the dome housing the figures, and likely a plastic base. The Dalmatians are typically depicted in their iconic white fur with black spots. Given its nature as a fast-food promotional item, it would have been mass-produced, likely from plastic and manufactured in the late 1990s or early 2000s when the '101 Dalmatians' live-action film and animated series were popular. The box appears to be in good condition, showing minimal signs of wear from handling, with no obvious tears, creases, or fading visible from the image. The colors on the box are still vibrant, indicating it has been stored well. The craftsmanship for such promotional items typically involves molded plastic figures with painted details, designed for appeal rather than intricate artistry, but still representing the beloved Disney characters accurately. Its main value lies in its collectibility as a Disney and McDonald's branded item.
