Showing off old collectibles is one of my favorite things to do on this blog, and today I've got just that and more. Here's some concept art for Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound salt and pepper shakers commissioned in the 1960s.
And here's what the final product looked like. As you can see, the colors are pretty stripped down, especially in Yogi's case. The unique bases featured in the art are also gone, now replaced by a generic orange stand. That being said, they do remain mostly faithful to what is pictured in the concept art. They even managed to keep Huck's hat! It's pretty neat to see how the completed pieces stack up when compared to their initial designs, and I love when I get the chance to do that here.
That's all I've got today, and for this month as well. I've managed to get this blog on a semi-regular shcedule this month, and I don't intend on slowing down anytime soon. Come back tomorrow, and I'll look back on the blog so far for its third anniversary. Who knows, I may even have a few hints of what the future could bring?
