This Betty Boop Limited Edition Rubber Duckie is an extremely well detailed and artfully decorated; it measures approximately 6X5X4 and individually gift boxed. Betty Boop was the first flapper cartoon. She made her first appearance on August 9, 1930 in the cartoon Dizzy Dishes, the sixth installment in Fleischer's Talkartoon series. The Betty Boop series continues to be a favorite of many critics, and the 1933 Betty Boop cartoon Snow White (not to be confused with Disney's 1937 film Snow White) was selected for preservation by the U.S. Library of Congress in the National Film Registry in 1994. Betty Boop is noteworthy for being the first cartoon character to fully represent a sexual woman. Other female characters of the same period showed their panties regularly, like Minnie Mouse, but didn't have a full caricature of a woman's form. Betty, however, reveled in her sexuality. She wore short dresses and a garter belt and she showed cleavage. In her cartoons, other characters try to sneak peeks at her while she's changing. Please note this item is not a bobblehead, wobbler or head knocker. |
