Battle of the Frozen Walt Dolls

This little "Frozen Walt" doll has been traveling with me from studio to studio for years. This "cool" figurine was created by Burt Payne 3 and Stephen Hillenburg, from whom I received it as a gift during our time together on SpongeBob SquarePants. My Frozen Walt felt all alone for many years, but he recently met his older twin brother, The Frozen Walt Doll RED Tie Edition!

For one beautiful and all-too-brief moment, the popsicle-ized twins were reunited atop my bookshelf. Then Red's owner whisked him away once again. Such is life.

Looks like Walyt has a lot of frozen relatives. To learn more about the Frozen Walt project, click on the pic below.
