This vintage ice follies ice skating plush bunny rabbit toy from the 60s is a charming stuffed animal measuring 10 inches in size. The bunny comes with original skates and an "Ice Follies" ribbon adding a nostalgic touch to this adorable collectible. The Ice Follies was a pioneering professional touring ice show founded in 1936 by Oscar Johnson and Eddie and Roy Shipstad in Minnesota. The show combined figure skating, ice dancing, comedy, music, and elaborate costumes and props into a theatrical production. It quickly gained immense popularity, becoming a major form of entertainment across the United States. The Ice Follies eventually merged with Holiday on Ice in 1980, leading to the creation of Disney On Ice.
Rabbit plush is a bit worn with age and it's fur is shedding a bit. With careful handling and placed on a shelf for display, it will last many more years.
Perfect for ice skating enthusiasts or collectors of vintage toys, this unique piece brings a bit of retro charm to any space. Please see photos for more details and thanks for looking!
