This rootin, tootin, six-gun shootin, varmint-huntin' wild man of the west believes in his own innate superiority and charges his way into one misadventure after another -and as loudly as possible. The only thing shorter than the fuse on his temper is Yosemite Sam himself, and this walking keg of dynamite is always ready for action.* From his ten-gallon hat to his fire-red moustache, Yosemite Sam is the most flamboyant of all Bugs Bunny's adversaries. But the funniest thing about Yosemite Sam is that he has absolutely no sense of humor which makes him the perfect foil, or fool, for Bugs Bunny.* The Looney Tunes Yosemite Sam Collectible Stein presents the main character in a hootin', hollerin' pose. Gold coins pour out of money bags and a treasure chest on either side of him. He's leaping in the air, with his six guns blazing. Is he celebrating his new found wealth, or has he backed up against the needles of the huge saguaro cactus behind him? Below Yosemite Sam is an old and weathered "wood" board, in which the star's name has been carved. The stein's body, handle, and lid are all made of porcelain and then entirely painted by hand. They are decorated and fired in a precise orchestration of hand and state-of-the art techniques, to ensure the accurate reproduction of this cherished character and the lasting beauty of the stein. The thumblift is made of pewter and is formed in the shape of the famous Looney Tunes logo. A pewter lid plate is attached to the thumblift.

5004	9 1/2" height 0.50 Itr/ 16 oz volume	The Looney Tunes Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote Collectible Stein If one line ever made a character famous, that line would have to be "Beep Beep! Ironically enough, one of the most non-verbal Looney Tunes characters is one of the most imitated verbally. Road Runner first appeared with Wile E. Coyote in "Fast Furry-ous', an animated short film directed by Chuck Jones from a story by Michael Maltese. In this debut film, the irrepressible Wile E. tried eleven different methods of catching the elusive bird with no success. But that initial pursuit created another kind of success and Road Runner has starred in 42 theatrical short films. Since that time, Wile E. Coyote has co-starred in over 40 Road Runner films.** Directly out of the old Wild West tradition, the Road Runner (Accelerati Incredibulis) is always the white-hat hero, deftly turning aside all of the elaborate schemes of the cunning coyote (Carnivorous Vulgaris) with an effortless grace. Blazing the four-minute mile in 0.3 seconds and relying on an instinctive gift for self-survival, the Road Runner is always a heartbeat ahead of whatever machinations the indefatigable Coyote concocts.** Wile E. Coyote is the great American anti-hero, the guy with a dream, overwhelming confidence, and obsessive ambition who nevertheless always manages to lose. A brilliant inventor as well as the biggest customer for Acme products, Wile E. Coyote's unshakable conviction in his superior intellect leaves him wide open to the free-wheeling instinct reactions of the Road Runner.** Road Runner is a primary character. Wile E. Coyote's single-minded, strength of purpose and high physical energy is admirable but his sneaking and devious behavior doom him to be the fall guy to Road Runner's speed.** The Looney Tunes Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote Collectible Stein is the fourth and most ambitious, detailed, and intricate stein in the Looney Tunes series to date. Creating two lean characters together in a porcelain stein format presented numerous artistic and technical concerns. But the exceptionally talented sculptors met the challenge and the result is one of the most originally designed steins of all time. The scene portrayed by this stein is a classic one. Road Runner is speeding down a winding highway. In an attempt create a diversion, Wile E. Coyote paints a train and tunnel on the mountainside. Willey Coyote's hope is that Road Runner will stop long enough to allow Wile E. to employ his arsenal of Acme tricks and traps. But the outcome, although not yet official, can be predicted from the relaxed and confident expression on Road Runner's face. The stein's body, handle, and lid are all made of porcelain and then entirely painted by hand. They are decorated and fired in a precise orchestration of hand and state-of-the techniques, to ensure the accurate reproduction of the character and the lasting beauty of the stein. Beneath the lid is a pewter plate that connects with the pewter hinge, strap and thumblift. Produced in a worldwide limited edition of 10,000 pieces, each stein is registered and individually numbered. **These four paragraphs are from the Warner Bros.

5005	10" 0.60 Itr	The Looney Tunes Tweety & Sylvester Collectible Stein. "I tawt I taw a puddy tat!" One of the most recognizable and beloved of all the Looney Tunes characters is that blue-eyed ball of innocence, Tweety. Tweety made his first appearance with his cohort in comedy, Sylvester the cat, in a 1947 Freleng-direct-ed short, "Tweetie Pie", which went on to win an Academy Award. Since that time, Tweety and Sylvester have appeared in more than 400 theatrical animated short films.* One of the all-time great comedy teams, Tweety and Sylvester have the chemistry needed to delight audiences of all ages. Tweety's wide-eyed innocence and child-like demeanor is in sharp contrast to Sylvester's alley cat cunning and persistence. But Tweety is nobody's fool, particularly not Sylvester's, and always manages to turn the tables on the devious and determined feline. Part of Tweety's ageless charm is his mischief-making sense of humor. The reactions of this poor helpless little against the big bad cat reveal that a true rascal's heart beats beneath those soft yellow feathers.* "Sufferin' Succotash!" Sylvester hits a responsive chord in everyone because this fantastically funny feline captures the essence of "catness". His obsessive stalking of Tweety and his outrageous antics to capture the elusive bird always lead to "catastrophe". Driven by his whisker-smacking appetite for his blue-eyed nemesis, Sylvester is a real strategic planner whose ingenuity is only matched by his foolishness. And, although Sylvester always loses, he always comes back for more. The Looney Tunes Tweety & Sylvester Collectible Stein is the fifth and most humorous Looney Tunes porcelain 3-dimensional collectible stein to-date. The true "character" of these two characters is captured on this stein. The scene portrayed shows Sylvester, wrapped around the bird cage with an over-confident look on his face. He holds the key to the "ACME" lock on the cage door. Little does he know that Tweety has long since vacated the cage and sits innocently on top of the cage, ready to use the ever present mallet. We see these two just moments before Tweety rings Sylvester's bell. The stein's body, handle, and lid are all made of porcelain and then entirely painted by hand. They are decorated and fired in a precise orchestration of hand state-of-the-art techniques, to ensure the accurate reproduction of the characters and the lasting beauty of the stein. Beneath the lid is a pewter plate that connects with the pewter hinge, strap, and thumblift. Produced in a worldwide limited edition of 10,000 pieces, each stein is registered and individually numbered. *These three paragraphs are from the Warner Bros.
