A Tangled Stein?

A past time of mine is searching eBay for Tangled merchandise. I don't often get things from eBay as a whole, especially since their price tends to be high even for a collectible. What I enjoy doing is finding the items that are not as known about. Items such as the Tangled Graphic Novel and some other items that are put out only in Europe or such things. Sure, I could probably see these on other blogs, but sometimes the discovery on eBay is more fun.

What did I find this time? A Tangled Stein. Yes. Now you can take your favorite film to the beer garden! All right, so I doubt people will be drinking from this and it is more of a display piece, but I found it somewhat humorous.

It was selling for a buyout price of $300 on eBay, and I am not sure if that is a "good" price or not since my attempts to research this item provided me with basically nothing. The item was apparently released in 2010, along side the film, and was available for sale in the Disney Store. I never saw one in my Disney Store, so who knows if they only went to select ones. The stein was limited to 2000 made and came in a tall purple box that Tangled on the side.

The item itself appears to be cute, based on the photographs as sadly I have not seen it in person. The paint job is a bit streaky, but I am sure it looked like that on all of the ones that were made. Perhaps it was done to make it look more antique or fit in with other stein painting styles that they would believe to be in the buyer's collection.

The stein is made to look like Rapunzel's tower with her hair flowing out of her window to form the handle. Rapunzel can be seen in the window her hair is coming from and at the end of her hair is Flynn Rider holding on as he swings away from Maximus. Turning the stein further, you see Mother Gothel sneaking with the Stabbington Brothers (you know, the twin thugs). Perched atop the stein is Pascal, which is area where the lid would lift at.

There is a lot of detail to the item and that keeps me looking at the image to see what else I may have missed. If I knew it had been a good price and I had the money to burn (and no student loans to pay back), I may have picked it up. However, the time was not right for me and without more information on it there was no way I could, or would, purchase it.

Still, it was a fun Tangled find and I had fun discovering it.
