M&M's Red Character Novelty Mug with Arms and Legs

This item is a novelty character mug, specifically an M&M's brand collectible, featuring the Red M&M character. The mug is predominantly red, designed to resemble the M&M candy, with a rounded body that serves as the cup. It has white appendages for arms, which are curved upwards and serve as the handles for the mug. Below the main body, there are two white feet, giving the impression that the character is standing. The character's face is depicted on the front of the mug in black and white, featuring drowsy, relaxed eyes with thick eyebrows, a small, subtle smile, and the iconic white 'm' logo on its chest. The construction appears to be ceramic or a similar glazed material, as indicated by the somewhat reflective surface and typical mug characteristics. The visible condition shows some wear, particularly on the white feet, which exhibit discoloration and scuffs, suggesting regular use or handling. There are no obvious chips or cracks visible. The overall craftsmanship appears to be mass-produced, typical of licensed merchandise, but with good attention to detail in replicating the character's likeness. Given its nature as a character collectible, it likely dates from the late 20th to early 21st century, aligning with the peak popularity of M&M's promotional items. The arms and legs are distinct, attached elements, adding to its three-dimensional, figurine-like quality.
