Sometimes I find things in surprising places. Recently I was renovating a customer’s basement which required me to move copious amounts of stuff from side to side in order to complete my work. While moving a particular pile, I found a treasure!

When asked about it, the customer said I could have this Goofy Vinyl Figure with Cloth Clothes:

She remembered buying it at Walt Disney World during a family trip but admitted she never liked it. That’s okay. I love it!

Goofy is 9″ tall and made of vinyl. He is posable. His arms and legs move back and forth while his head moves side to side. And his ears swing to and fro. Don’t ya know!

No manufacturer is credited on the labels, just that it was made in Hong Kong for Walt Disney Distributing under the Walt Disney Productions copyright. Part of this information is also stamped on the bottom of Goofy’s left foot.

Also on the bottom of Goofy’s feet are the particulars of his purchase. My customer was at Disney in August of 1975. It also says ‘FLA’ which signifies Florida, so we know the ‘Disney’ in question is Walt Disney World.

Goofy was purchased just a few years after my first trip to WDW as a child. Did I see this little guy on a shelf when I was there? Did I beg my parents to buy him for me? I will never know, but it’s fun to think about and makes this vinyl figure very special to me!
