FUNNY ART! Tom & Jerry Happy Kuji Series 2: #14 Tom and Friends Turned Into a Totem Pole

Released in 2022 as part of a Happy Kuji campaign, and were available exclusively in Japan. Japanese Kuji (くじ) are Lottery Style contests wherein you have to purchase a “lottery ticket” to determine which figure you will receive from the set. This series of figures replicate famous scenes from the classic cartoon and transform these brief, dynamic moments of bad luck into highly detailed 3D “Funny Art” desktop figures. The translation on these figures names is a bit comical in their own right, but given the lack of a domestic release, this is what we have.

The sculpt recreates a flattened gag from the 1948 classic cartoon short Saturday Evening Puss, where Tom and his alley cat pals (Butch, Lightning, and Topsy) get a door slammed on them, squishing them flat into a vertical totem pole.

Each figure comes complete and still factory sealed on the card. Each figure comes with a numbered clear display stand uniquely molded to hold it’s designated figure. The cards/bubbles do show a bit of wear due to age/storage, but will still display well if you choose to keep them sealed.
