Vintage "Squeak 'n Tweak" Mickey Mouse Plush Doll

This is a vintage plush doll depicting Mickey Mouse, likely from the 'Squeak 'n Tweak' series by Gund. The doll features a hard plastic head with a molded face, painted eyes, and a prominent snouted nose. The head is primarily flesh-toned with black painted hair on top, extending to form the outline of Mickey's face and chin. Two large, shiny black plastic ears are attached to the top of the head, characteristic of the Mickey Mouse likeness. The body of the doll is made from a soft, plush fabric, primarily in pastel shades of light blue, pink, and yellow, giving it a somewhat tie-dyed or mottled appearance. The hands are small and rounded, fashioned from the same plush material as the body, and are designed to hold up to the sides of the head. The feet are also rounded, made from a distinct light pink plush fabric, contrasting with the main body color. A pink ribbon is tied around the doll's neck, extending down the front of the body, and features repetitive text that appears to read "SQUEAK 'n TWEAK" in a stylized font. There are two light blue fabric-covered buttons (or similar embellishments) on the chest area, secured to the ribbon. A red paper tag, likely a product tag from 'Gund Creations Great American Love', is attached to the doll's left arm, indicating the manufacturer and potentially its origin. Another smaller white tag is visible on the doll's right side, likely a fabric content or care tag. The plush fabric appears clean and well-maintained, suggesting minimal playwear or careful storage. The plastic head shows no obvious cracks or significant scuffs, and the paintwork is intact. The overall condition appears excellent for a vintage item, retaining its original tags and vibrant colors, indicating good preservation. This doll likely dates to the mid-20th century, possibly the 1950s or 1960s, given its construction and styling, and represents a popular collectible character.
