Disney Goebel DIS 138 - Tuffy the Orphan Kitten Salt and Pepper

Another mis-identified Tuffy by the Goebel company, this S&P set is essentially identical to the covered dish of DIS 104, and again has a Figaro label. Make sure you read the posting on DIS 104 for details on why this is NOT Figaro.

Disney Goebel DIS 105 - Tuffy the Orphan Kitten Dish or Ashtray

Second in the series of Tuffy often mistaken for Figaro. Once you realize the difference, it is easy to recognize this as Tuffy. It's all in the eyes...

Disney Goebel DIS 104 - Tuffy the Orphan Kitten Covered Container

I've been waiting for this one. Despite numerous people that say Figaro - including Goebel on the label on the S&P set (DIS 138) that matches this figure - this is Tuffy, one of the kittens from Three Orphan Kittens.

And I'm not just saying that, I have evidence to back it up. As we've shown already with the Foulfellow figure, Goebel did not always know who was who in their figures. This is another case. Based on an illustration from the 1934 Whitman book pictured below

that depicts the kittens playing with a sewing basket (as kittens are wont to do). This illustration is clearly what this figure and it corresponding S&P set was based on.
