Beautiful Gone With the Wind Musical Figurines

by Joi on July 30, 2006

This beautiful Gone With the Wind musical figurine collection is by San Francisco Music Box Company. Each figurine is between 6-7” tall and plays “Tara’s Theme.”

I actually used to collect GWTW memorabilia - I had plates, mugs, figurines, dolls, etc. They met with a hideous fate, however, during one of our many moves - I think their fate was sealed somewhere in the midwest. Smashed to smithereens. I try very hard not to think about how much $$$ was wrapped up in the collection.

That’s the ugliest side of moving around so much - inevitably things get broken, lost or stolen. We’ve bopped around the country quite a bit (Kentucky to Illinois to Kansas back to Kentucky to Iowa back to Kentucky to Indiana to Florida back to Kentucky..) - and, considering all the moving, we’ve lost very few things. The only problem was, they were MAJOR. The Gone with the Wind collection was lost when gravity took it’s toll on a stack of boxes. A piano was lost when the moving truck went one way and it went another. A television was stolen at a McDonald’s in Kansas, and a collection of china from Macy’s just disappeared. That one probably hurt the worst because two things I”m ALL ABOUT are my hubby and dishes - and these were the first dishes my hubby ever bought for me. By some miracle (packing by my guardian angel, I’m certain) I have a few cups from this collection, so at least they weren’t all lost.

As for the GWTW collection - I’ve always wanted to start over. I just love the beauty and strength of this movie - it’s a classic! Each character, each performance, each dramatic moment - it’s just about as good as classic Hollywood gets.

The musical figurines above are sold individually at FuntoCollect.com - they’re tempting me to start my collection all over. The first ones I’d get would be Prissy and Scarlett in the white. They’re two of my, all-time, favorite movie characters. We have a beautiful 18-year old cat named after Prissy and we had a much beloved beautiful German Shepherd named after Scarlett.

Scarlett and Prissy would then have to send for Rhett and the rest… I’m not sure if they have a Mammy or not, I’ll have to check. She was priceless! I might would order a Melanie, but I wouldn’t even bother with Ashley. Weak little whining, sniffling, spineless, pansy. Blech.

Click on each figurine to see a larger image, and forgive the Ashley hatred.
