Special Friends Bambi & Thumper Handpainted Figurine - Brown

This hand-painted figurine brings Bambi and Thumper together on a little oval of green, two firm friends caught in a quiet moment. Bambi stands on slender legs, his soft brown coat dotted with white spots, his white tail flicked up and a small rosy pink flower resting on the tip of his nose. In front of him, Thumper sits up on his haunches in soft grey and cream, his fluffy white tail tucked behind, gazing up at his friend. Both rest on a pale sage green base with a lightly textured top that reads as grass. The figurine is 9.1cm tall, 8.6cm wide and 12.2cm deep, small enough to sit neatly on a narrow shelf.

We think it makes a gentle keepsake for a baby's nursery or a child's bedroom, for little ones from newborn right up to twelve. It is an ornament to display rather than a toy to play with, so it is happiest on a bookcase, a windowsill or a high shelf where it can be seen and admired. Parents and grandparents who grew up with Bambi will recognise the pair at once, and it makes a lovely way to share a favourite story with the next generation. Its soft browns and greens sit easily with pastel nursery colours as well as warmer wood tones.

The figurine is hand painted, which gives Bambi's shaded coat, Thumper's bright eyes and the little flower their soft, careful colour. The flat oval base means it stands on its own on any level surface, with no fixings or wall space needed. To care for it, simply dust it with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and avoid soaking it or using harsh cleaners so the paintwork stays fresh. Tuck it into tissue with a handwritten card and it makes a gift a little one can keep for years.
