Disney Goebel DIS 193 - Two Bambis

This is a single figure of two Bambis connected. Both are DIS 111.  Judging by the eye color, I'm guessing this is supposed to be Bambi and Faline.

Disney Goebel DIS 192 - Lady and the Tramp Chained Group

German Goebel book lists this as Lady (167), Tramp (183A), Dachsie (171), and Trusty (169).  Specific models for Lady and Tramp provided by Goebel directly, via my friend Alfred.  Now to find a picture.  Until then, just imagine these connected by a chain :-)

Disney Goebel DIS 190 - Lady and the Tramp Chained Group

Yet another dog group with chain. German Goebel book says it is some combination of DIS 182 A & C, but I have no picture of it.

UPDATE:  Again courtesy of my friend Alfred, fresh from the Goebel Archive.  DIS 190 which is DIS 182A + 182B(2).

Disney Goebel DIS 188 - Tinker Bell

This Tinker Bell has had an interesting history. This was from 1959 apparently, and a large batch was found in the late 1980s and sold in this country. I remember vividly when I was working at a comic book distributor in 1987-89 when these were listed in the order form...I wondered what they were. Since these came to the US in the recent past in a fairly large quantity, they tend to be pretty easy to come by.
