Pigeon is a playful little girl with an imaginary world called the Land of Mobe. The Mobelings are her menagerie of friends.
In 2016 I drew a little girl named Pigeon with hopes of making her into a doll. Not far from me, Kate of Bitter Squeaks had acquired the rights to Edward Mobley’s toys with a dream of bringing them back to life.
Our dreams collided when, in a wild twist of fate, one of Mobley’s prototype molds looked an awful lot like Pigeon. Maybe he was also inspired by Rose O’Neill’s kewpies and turn-of-the-century penny dolls. Or maybe it was magic!
After limited runs as a resin art doll and then a mini collectible, Pigeon found her most huggable form as a soft vinyl toy. She stands 8.5 inches from toe to bow with a 7 inch hug-span and a sweet squeak. Find her in the Bitter Squeaks online shoppe along with all of her Mobeling friends.
