Doctor Mouse Figurine Appraisal

"The Doctor Is In!" Doctor Mouse Figurine with Patient by Wee Forest Folk

This figurine depicts a large mouse dressed as a doctor, accompanied by a smaller, presumably patient, mouse. The doctor mouse wears a light beige or off-white lab coat with light blue pants and what appears to be a light green tie or shirt collar. A stethoscope hangs around the doctor's neck, with a silver-colored earpiece visible. The mouse has a jovial expression with eyes closed, a wide smile, and rosy cheeks. The smaller mouse, colored in a rich golden brown, sits beside the doctor, looking upwards with a gentle expression. Both mice are positioned on a detailed base that simulates an environment with various medical-related items. These details include what looks like a silver-colored roll of gauze or tape, green rectangular blocks that might represent books or medicine boxes, and other indistinct medical equipment rendered in tones of green, grey, and silver. The material appears to be a type of hand-painted resin or cold-cast porcelain, showcasing fine artistic details in the sculpting and painting, characteristic of collectible figurines. The texture of the mice suggests fur, while the clothing and objects are smoother. There are no visible condition issues such as chips, cracks, or significant paint loss from the image provided. The style aligns with collectible figurines often produced from the late 20th century to the present, focusing on whimsical and anthropomorphic animal themes, particularly associated with brands like Wee Forest Folk, known for their charming mouse figures. The craftsmanship displays attention to detail, from the facial expressions to the miniature accessories, indicating a higher quality collectible.
