Plugs / Stoppers For Goofy Banks Plus

 I won a couple of bids for Goofy banks on eBay but they lacked the plug or stopper at the bottom to keep the coins from falling out. I did a search for 'Goofy bank stopper' but only found plugs for piggy banks. I found an inexpensive group of them in varying sizes from Amazon (among other sites that had them for sell). It was a good price. I bought them one day and received them the next day. 


I was able to find the right size for the two banks that I recently won the bid on. The package of plugs / stoppers came in a variety of sizes. I found ones that fit the banks. Now I can use them to put coins into.

Here are the stoppers / plugs that I received / bought from Amazon.
Here are the bottoms of the plugs / stoppers. It is the part that faces inward to the bank. 

Here is the top of the stoppers / plugs. It is the part that faces outward from the bank. It came in a variety of sizes so I could chose the one that fits the banks that I have. 
Here is the Goofy car bank. It didn't have the plug / stopper but the ones from Amazon fit it quite nice. It was good to have them in a variety of sizes. 

Here is the Goofy bank where he is sitting down. It took a slightly different size of plug / stopper. It fit it quite nicely. Now I can use both to put coins into. I am glad I didn't just get one size of plug since I didn't really know what size would fit into it. It was easy to put into it. I have no doubt it will be easy to take out.

They come in a variety of sizes; which is good since I tried different ones to see which one fits. 


Goofy Banks From eBay.

 I have found a great source for Disney Goofy things. That is eBay. I have found, won a bid on, paid for and received a couple of banks inspired by Goofy. I think they are really neat.

Here are the two banks inspired by Goofy that I got from eBay.

This is a Goofy bank where Goofy is driving a car. The slot is located behind Goofy. I find it fits most coins.

Here is the side view of it. The card below is the person that sold / had the item up for bids on eBay. 

Here is the other side of the bank. It has a plug on the bottom that one can get the coins out without having to damage the bank.

Here is a bank that was inspired by Goofy. He is sitting down and shows that he is thinking. The slot is behind his head. 
This is the one side of Goofy sitting down. The slot fits most coins. 

Here is the other side of the Goofy bank. There is a plug on the bottom where one can extract coins without damaging the bank. Since I like these banks, I think this is a good thing.

Goofy Head Pillow - THREE - Third from eBay

 I am a big fan of Disney's Goofy. I look for things that are Goofy merchandise. I search all over the web for them. One of these places is eBay with me being blessed / lucky to win the items (I try not to bid more than I could afford to pay).

I now have three Goofy pillows.

The first Goofy head pillow was acquired many years ago. It was by chance that I found it in a box of pillows in a store. It is worn out and not good shape but it is still loved since it is Goofy.

The second Goofy head pillow was acquired many years later. I had been searching for another one for many years since the first one was worn out. I also came across the second one by chance. it is in a lot better shape than the first one.

The third and current one was found on eBay. It was acquired recently. It is in great shape. I won the bid on it. I am surprised since I didn't bid a lot since I could not afford a lot. I am both lucky and blessed in that I won it.  

This is the back of the Goofy head pillow that I won on eBay.

There are a lot of Goofy items there
(some are labeled 'goofy' but aren't Goofy).

Goofy and Mickey Plush from eBay

 I am a big fan of Goofy from Disney. I have found that are not a lot of things on Goofy; especially from the Disney stores. It seems non-Disney stores seem to have more on Goofy than the official sites.


One site I like to get Goofy things from is eBay. I like to bid on the different Goofy items. One seller had placed a Goofy and Mickey combo up for bids. I was lucky and / or blessed to have won it. I won it on a low bid. I think it is really neat. I was going more for the Goofy than Mickey but I think that is a plus.


They are not really big but they are really nice. Since I was really only going for the Goofy, I would not mind giving away the Mickey one to anyone who likes him. 

It seems some of the results are not really Goofy but things that might be considered goofy. 

I have gotten many Goofy items from eBay. I try not to over do it. Some people like to bid more than the item is actually worth. I try to avoid it. I bid only what I can afford to bid.

Some Goofy Items Won On eBay.

 I have found some cool Goofy items on eBay. I think it is a great resource for those who are fans of Disney's Goofy. I am amazed on what one bid on there. 


I try not to bid much on these Goofy items even I am a big of him. I don't bid much since I don't have a big budget for Goofy items; no matter how cool they are.


I won these with low bids and with hopes no one else would outbid me for them (on occasion they have).  I have posting my most recent wins.

This is the back of Franken-Goofy.

This is the front of Franken-Goofy

This is top view of the Goofy visor.

This is the front view of the Goofy visor.

This is a gold foil one million dollar Goofy 
banknote. It is different from the Disney Dollars
of years past in that it was never used as money at the parks.

This says one million dollars on it but it has no real
value except to the collector of Goofy items; of which 
I am one. I think it is really neat. 
This is a Goofy 100 anniversary coin. It is not precious metal;
otherwise, I would not have bought it (too expensive for me).
It is really cool looking. 

The seller of these coins have other Disney characters
but I was only interested in the Goofy ones.

I have other Goofy items I am bidding on and check for on eBay for. Disney Goofy on eBay.

Walt Disney's Goofy The Good Sport

 I found a book on Disney's Goofy. It is called Disney's Goofy The Good Sport; The Official Fully illustrated Biography.

It is not a huge book - in thickness - but a big book - in width and height but not in depth. It is bigger than most books but thinner than others. 

The name is quite true in that it is fully illustrated. It has illustrations from the different films that Goofy is in. 

It is a biography of Goofy. It is not just some cartoons and image shots of his movies but also tells of how he came about and his development along the way. It tells of the people who were involved in creating and making Goofy. 

I found it to be fascinating. I loved the illustrations in the book. I think it is something a fan of Disney's Goofy will treasure and learn from. One can learn a lot of Goofy and his history and how he came about. 

I bought mine from Amazon but I have found other sites that have it.


Amazon - hard cover. 
eBay - general search for Disney's Goofy The Good Sport.

Goofy Adventures and Super Goofy at Mile High Comics?

 

I came across a site that has a lot of comic books. I think it was on Facebook. I asked if they had either Goofy Adventures or Super Goofy. They said to check their website; Mile High Comics. I said I would. Below is the results of that search. 




I will be checking out all three sections (first two on the same thing but had two initial listings). 

It is a short blog but I just think it is cool that there is a source for Goofy comics. It seems it is 'America's largest and friendliest comics retailer' (quote from their website). The photos at their site show how huge it really is.

This is just using 'Goofy' as the search word. The others used a specific words which narrowed down the search.
