Treat Heart Pig Poseable
With Sweet Surprise Accessory
(Pictured: Shot from 1986 Kenner Catalog)
It's difficult to discern a value on this poseable and it's accessory. To current knowlege it has never been seen online and thus it is impossible to tell the actual value, though I imagine it would be high. It's accessory has never been seen on auction either, though it has been rumored to be owned by a few exclusive non-picture-sharing collectors. This poseable is one of four (also, Proud Heart Cat, Playful Heart Monkey, Loyal Heart Dog) extremely hard to find pieces. These were never sold in America or Canada. Current evidence suggests they were sold limitedly in England and Australia. They were pictured in the 1986 Kenner Catalog which were sent to distributors. It is also speculated that they, along with several plush cousins were made in limited supply because of a shift in company power within Kenner, thus being discontinued after the first quarterly product wave. One can then assume they were sold during only one quarter of the selling season, meaning there should have been at least 500-1,000 made. But it is impossible to know. It is also speculated that they never actually made Treat Heart, as this picture looks too much like a photo mock up. made from parts of other poseables (look at it closely, the quality is somewhat rough.) Anyone who has anymore current knowlede please contact me and share your information.
