Palés Alice from Spain

I love the internet.  After posting the White Rabbit, I received an email from the collector in whose collection that figure resides.  He not only confirmed my belief that it is indeed Palés and the White Rabbit, but he sent a bunch of high resolution photos of his collection, including this Alice!!
While I'm the first to admit she is not very attractive, it is cool that they made a figure of her at all.  Now all I need to do is find her :-)  Oh, and check my previous posts on the White Rabbit and Cheshire Cat for new and improved photos of those figures, plus a variation!  Thanks again Oli!

Palés White Rabbit - Maybe?

I may have discovered the existence of a new Palés figure from Alice in Wonderland - the White Rabbit.
I came across this photo of what I originally thought was Rufus from the Rescuers, but now I'm not so sure.  Rufus did wear spectacles, but did not wear a waistcoat and bow-tie, he wore a scarf.  Until a reference book or catalog shows up, I guess we'll never know.

UPDATE:  Thanks to reader Oli for providing this much better photo of the White Rabbit in his collection!
