Product description
Item #611859, "Dudley's Friends Jelly Bean Candy Machine," is a plastic representation of a miniature gumball machine. The article incorporates a plastic gear mechanism which, upon turning a knob, will release a small candy placed inside the top globe portion. The figure of a rabbit and decorated eggs adorns the top of the empty gumball device. The base of the product is hollow to permit use as a small coin bank. A slot is located at the back of the base and the bottom is detachable for easy removal of the coins. The "Disney Pooh Party Cups," item #612429, are empty plastic containers for use in holding candies or other small articles. The cups are square in shape and have a swivel plastic handle which enables them to be carried like a basket. A two dimensional figure of the character "Pooh" is permanently affixed on the front of each cup. They will be packaged in sets of two inside a cellophane bag with a header card. Your samples are being returned as requested.
