Royal Darwin #101 White Tail Deer Painted Figurine OOP Factory Fresh MIB

Description

I need to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection.
THIS IS MY LAST ONE!
In some factories I have worked, the place routinely shuts down on the first day of Deer Season. They know half of their workforce is going to call in ‘sick’, so they go ahead and schedule maintenance for that day (and even most of that doesn’t get done). Between seasons, this guy can sit on your desk or shelf so you never forget the thrill of the hunt.
I am not a real figures guy, so I was not surprised that I had not heard of Royal Darwin figures. A Google search doesn’t reveal much, so I assume the outfit is no longer in business. Their website (www.royaldarwin.com) is gone, but their box has the best clue as to their story. The company address is on Crowley Drive in Carrolton Texas. Many of you will recognize that as the home of Squadron Products. I assume that at some point in the life of the company, ownership was held by Squadron. The box I am looking at has a 2010 date, so these items may be long Out Of Production. Here is what I have found about this intricately detailed figurine:
This sportsman's delight exhibits a fine texture and delicate features as he stands proudly on a base with a fence post and vegetation.
White Tail Deer is one of Our American Heritage Series Collectibles. Royal Darwin: creators of fine handcrafted sculpted miniatures. Sculpted handcrafted painted plastic collectible approximately 4" tall with base.
The White Tail Deer is one of the most wide ranging species of deer. It is found in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America. The Buck ranges in weight from 130 to 300 pounds while the Doe typically weighs in at 90 to 200 pounds.
Royal Darwin wildlife figures celebrate the beauty and diversity of the wildlife animal kingdom in each miniature. Each of God's creatures is a remarkable creation. Royal Darwin captures that beauty in the finest detail.
This figurine is in an open-faced box about 5” x 5” x 2”. As you can see from the pictures, the package is pristine and has not been opened (it was never sealed), so it is
factory fresh and absolutely gift-ready.
This item contains one finely crafted and painted plastic White Tail Deer in a natural-looking setting. Sitting on a table, it measures 4” tall, 4” wide and 1.5” deep. It is fully assembled and finished and ready to display right out of the box. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally.

Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder).
As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
