A friend emailed me the picture above recently so I did some research.
The Great Mickey figurine was made in the 1960s by Linemar of Japan, who released a number of mechanical Disney toys in the 1950s and 60s.
The Mickey Mouse magician is one of the most in-demand figures because the action is so complicated – he raises his hat and makes the bird vanish and reappear. Mint versions sell for around US$3,000.
