Plush Set Appraisal

The Wizard of Oz Plush Finger Puppets / Small Plush Figures Set

This item is a set of five small plush figures, likely finger puppets or small pocket-sized plush toys, depicting main characters from 'The Wizard of Oz'. The set includes Dorothy Gale, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Wicked Witch of the West. Each figure appears to be made from soft plush fabric, with embroidered facial features and stitched details for clothing and other characteristics. Dorothy is depicted with a blue gingham dress, brown hair with blue bows, and red ruby slippers. The Cowardly Lion has a shaggy light brown mane and fur, with tan extremities. The Tin Man is silver-colored with black stitched details representing rivets and features, and appears to have a funnel hat. The Scarecrow wears a blue top, light-colored pants, and a brown hat, with yellow stitching representing straw. The Wicked Witch of the West is green-skinned, dressed in a dark blue or purple cloak and pointed hat. The figures show signs of light use and potential minor wear consistent with plush toys, but no significant damage or repairs are immediately visible. Given their small size and character representation, they likely date from a more modern era, possibly as promotional items or children's toys from the late 20th to early 21st century. The manufacturing detail 'REG. NO. PA 4471 (HK)' indicates a registration number, likely from Hong Kong, related to the materials used in plush toys, suggesting mass production. The craftsmanship is appropriate for mass-produced plush toys, with uniform stitching and character representation.
