Boyhood teams with Disney for wooden Mickey Mouse figure
Danish design firm Boyhood has teamed up with Disney to create and produce signature wooden collectibles of Mickey Mouse.
The limited-edition figures come in four sizes: small, large, extra large and giga.
“Our collaboration with Boyhood offers something memorable for Disney fans and collectors, as it captures a beautiful design of the ultimate icon, Mickey Mouse, through intentional craftsmanship,” said Marcus Rosie, Senior Vice President – Global Creative at Disney Consumer Products.
“Our continued collaborations with global creators allow us to expand our product offerings and consumer audiences while leaning into innovative storytelling in a modernised way.”
Boyhood designer and founder Jakob Burgsø added: “Our wooden figures showcase Mickey Mouse drawn up in an exciting new way. Normally I don’t get speechless, but I am so proud to have brought this collaboration with Disney to life.
“Many of the iconic Disney figures has been a huge part of my childhood, and to get the chance as an adult to work with these characters is a dream come true and a walk down memory lane. An opportunity like this is very rare. To be trusted to design a selection of wooden collectibles for one of the world’s most admired Disney characters is a remarkable honour.
“The result is amazing. The craftsmanship is extremely intricate and skilled, and we have achieved a result that sets new standards for wooden sculptures. With this masterpiece of highly skilled craftmanship we have no doubt that we have made an icon that will last for generations.”
