Title: Anyone know this mouse character?
Post by: chonji on January 28, 2012, 02:57:55 PM: Does anybody recognise this cahracter, from an old time show or cartoon or anything? I am trying to figure out who it is, looks familiar, thing is it is stamped on the bottom with the word foreign and an imprinted letter ' C ' If it is not from a cartoon do you think it would have been for a set in a band grouping say?
