First released in late 1961, the second series of Disneykins were marketed as "New" Disneykins. Only some of the 34 Disney character figures in this set were available after 1962 -- which accounts for their rarity.
Below is the original product list, photos and other documentation. For more information see the listing in the Disneykins Database™.
