Secrets:
Do frogs dance? Yes they do - in countless fairy tales,
interpretive dance performances, and in Monique Baldwin’s
box figurine. Leave it to these irreverent amphibians
to prefer some slippin’ and slidin’ straight
out of the Chubby Checker’s songbook, “Yeah
round 'n around 'n up 'n down we gooooo again”.
With long hind legs and webbed feet these twistin’
hip hoppers sure know how to make a jumpin’ scene.
Color Variation:
From Harmony Kingdom:
"When Wimberley Mills prototyped these box figurines,
they supplied two colorways: one ivory-like and one
quite vivid. Monique preferred the subtle coloration
on all of the pieces except for “Bog Trot Boogie”,
where she was torn between the elegance of ivory and
the playful green and ginger hues. It
was decided to maintain consistency and present the
more antiqued colorway, but we all couldn’t resist
slipping a few of the vivid versions into the mix. 75
of this 2500 piece edition hop to life with a flamboyant
finish. Perhaps you’ll discover one of the rare
ones."
