Front and back covers, with a shot of the
play-mat; while of limited use whichever set you get, I've mentioned before;
some have a game element, some a simple 'play' mat others - as here - get
several stills from the movie, so different stories or a progression through
each scene can be played-out.
Some of the main characters, from the left;
Bagheera (Black Panther), Mowgli (the man cub), Baloo ([sloth] Bear), and a monkey
who's name escapes me, but he's a Disney trope, in the books they are a tribe;
The Bandar-log or Monkey Folk.
Sheer
Khan (King of the [Bengal] Tigers) and two idiotic
elephants (Hathi or Tha and/or . . . baby Tha?) I don't really remember, but I
was quite small the last time I saw this!
I'm guessing this snake is Kaa, the Indian Rock Python? Although
he is a bit too comical for Mowgli's friend and mentor? It doesn't matter,
these only really go with similar figures and there aren't many of them, so
it's more of a stand-alone sample [with-]in a collection.
The four vultures on the other hand would
enhance the larger scale/later painted sets of Lucky Luck from Comansi/Comics
Spain, being very similar in style (if not size) with that line's
scavenger. Or even as new recruits for the Disney movie Robin Hood character's of the Sheriffs guards from Marx or Tatra! Probably the same cartoonist?
