HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM OF 3-DIMENSIONAL ADVERTISING ICON'S. WE COLLECT FIGURE'S, DOLL'S, & DISPLAY'S DEPICTING CHARACTER'S AND ADVERTISING WHICH HAVE REPRESENTED PRODUCT'S AND SERVICES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY -900- DIFFERENT 3-DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER'S/DISPLAYS OF THE ADVERTISMENT WORLD. MOST ARE MADE OF VINYL, PLASTIC OR RUBBER. OR EVEN STYRAFOAM. SOME ARE CERAMIC,CHALK/PLASTER, OR PAPER MACHE. AND SOME ARE CLOTH OR PLUSH. AN ADVERTISING ICON, WOULD BE A CHARACTER WHO IS EASILY IDENTIFIED BY A VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT AGE GROUP'S OR COUNTRY'S, SUCH AS "SPEEDY" FROM; ALKA SELTZER OR "THE GREEN GIANT" AND HIS LITTLE HELPER "LIL SPROUT" , ALSO THE PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY, TONY THE TIGER, MR. CLEAN. ADVERTISING ICON'S CAN BE A CARTOON, OR A ANTHROPORMORPHIC CHARACTER( Resembling, or made to resemble a Human form), MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THEY HAVE TO BE APPEALING AND LIKEABLE,OR EVEN CRAZY, SO THAT WE WILL REMEMBER THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE THAT THEY ARE REPRESENTING, MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO OR WHAT TRAVELOCITY IS, BUT WE DO REMEMBER THEIR COMMERCIAL'S WITH THE ROAMING GNOME, THE LITTLE GARDEN GNOME STATUE WHO TURN'S UP AT DIFFERENT LOCATION'S AROUND THE WORLD TELLING US ABOUT TRAVELOCITY'S RATE'S AND SERVICE'S. AN ADVERTISING CHARACTER WOULD BE A SPOKESPERSON FOR A PRODUCT OR SERVICE. THEY CAN BE AS HUMAN AND DOWN TO EARTH AS "DAVE THOMAS" FOR WENDY'S ,OR AS CRAZY AND ZANY AS THE "DOMINOS NOID" WAS FOR DOMINO'S PIZZA, OR THE FRUIT STRIPE GUM'S "STRAPPLE BERRY" PINATA. SOME HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND ARE EASILY RECOGNIZED WITH, SUCH AS AUNT JEMIMA, RONALD Mc. DONALD, Col. HARLAND SANDERS. AND THEN OTHER'S FOR A VERY SHORT TIME, LIKE THE TALKING WRIGLY'S "EXTRA GUM STICK GUY".
WE ARE ALWAYS ON THE LOOK OUT FOR NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR MUSEUM COLLECTION, AND WE WILL PURCHASE AS OUR BUDGET ALLOWS. WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF OUR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTER'S IN THE CHARACTER'S DESCRIPTION CARD'S, AND WELCOME DONATIONS OF ANY SIZE ADVERTISING CHARACTER, OR DISPLAY. WE SELL MANY COLLECTABLE ITEMS SUCH AS TOY'S & DOLL'S FROM THE 50's TO PRESENT DAY.,AS THIS ALLOWS US TO PURCHASE FOR OUR GROWING COLLECTION OF ADVERTISING CHARACTER'S. THE MUSEUM OF 3-DIMENSIONAL ADVERTISING ICON'S IS A NON-PROFIT MUSEUM AND WE ARE LOCATED IN KENOSHA, WI. BUT CURRENTLY WE ARE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC, AS WE ARE LOOKING FOR A LARGER, NEW HOME TO SET-UP IN.
