Even though I work on the Disney Studios lot, I had to go to eBay to get my hands on this lovely plush Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. If you haven't seen the old Ub Iwerks/Walt Disney Oswald cartoons of the 1920's you're in for a treat!
...and I've also fallen in love with the Oswalds that were done by Walter Lantz and Bill Nolan:

I've never seen those Lantz Oswald's before!!! How fantastic! Are they available on DVD?
No official DVDs, but if you scroll down to the bottom of this page: http://www.cartoonresearch.com/garagesale.html you might be able to get the unofficial DVDs from Jerry Beck. I found out about them by watching them at the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive in Burbank. The videos on YouTube are pretty much the same quality as the ones from ASIFA and Jerry.
Nice find on the shorts! ...And the plush! Wherever did you find that? I want one for myself!
Your best (well, one of 'em) post ever Sherm! I LOVE OSWALD!!! And the stuffed plush (or as I call them: 'soft figurines') Oswald is fantastic...
best,

Wow... what a cool find. I've got a fairly big collection of stuffed cartoon characters, and have toyed with putting some of them up on e-bay, but there are a select few that I can't see myself parting with, just because I know they'll never be made again or because I just think they're too cool. One of them is a KoKo the Clown doll I got from the Museum of Cartoon Art back when it was located in Rye,NY.
