See photos - especially composite photo.
While this includes all the original packaging + COA that all collectible 45th Anniversary Playboy Bunny Joy figurines have, this one includes MUCH MORE.
I worked on her over a period of years, learning how to airbrush, & hand paint tiny details in hard-to-reach places, as well as testing how to make the most realistic pantyhose - which led to me chopping up my pantyhose & testing methods.
Like all 45th Anniversary Joy figurines, she was originally wearing a red costume, ears & shoes.
I acquired & restored a vintage photo of Bunny Joy Tarbell - who was the model for this figurine. Bunny Joy was wearing a black costume. I'll include that restored photo on Kodak Ultima archival quality glossy photo paper.
Then I watched a video where Hugh Hefner gave a tour of the Playboy Mansion, explaining the origin of many of his collectibles on display.
That's where I saw the only Bunny Joy figurine I've ever seen wearing a BLACK costume.
That was a couple of years ago. That’s when I decided that I wasn’t going to just repaint her face, I was going to completely re-do her.
FYI: I was a Playboy Bunny in the 1970's. In 2000, I became an eBay member & discovered that vintage Playboy Bunny & Club items were still a thing. And I still owned some of my "souvenirs". So I started my business: buying, selling, researching & collecting Playboy Club & Playboy Bunny collectibles.
My point? If I haven't seen one before, they MUST be RARE ... and I suppose that "anyone" could paint a red costume black .. but, as I said, this includes SO MUCH MORE...
