Royal Orleans

 Released between 1978-82  Royal Orleans produced, Fiver, Hazel, Bigwig, Silver, Blackberry, Hyzanthlay, Dandelion, Clover, Holly, Pipkin, General Woundwort, Captain Campion and Kehaar into porcelain collectable figurines. Watership Down the movie & book, has touched the hearts of millions, it was a new look into the normal fluffy, quiet, cute bunny world & into a darker side of things, full of sorrow, fear & rivalry. Taking animation to a whole new level through the brilliant mind of the author, Richard Adams.1972.
  (Richard Served in the British Army during World War II.)
It all started as a story he would tell his daughters, they urged him to write it all down, and one day he did just that.Watership Down was actually turned down many times over by publishers. Until he met Rex Collings. Rex agreed to publish the work. The book gained international acclaim almost immediately. Over the next few years #Watership Down sold over a million copies worldwide and became a modern classic.
I highly recommend watching this tale, that will change how you think of precious bunnies forever.
There are 13 of the Royal Orleans Watership Down figurines. I have Bigwig, Dandelion, Hyzanthlay, Captain Campion, Pipkin, & Holly.
How much did I pay for the rabbits? $1.00 each! That's $6.00 of complete happiness...
