Extreme Close-Ups! Story Book Forest at Idlewild - Pt. 1

On my last visit to Idlewild, I gained some super-sweet close-up pictures of the figures from Story Book Forest. Enjoy, and don't get too creeped out if you're that type of person. Sorry this isn't complete; I'll just have to go back!


We're starting out with a picture of Humpty Dumpty, not because it's anywhere near the beginning of the walkthrough, but because the face is just so awesome! The paint looks nice on this one. But wait a second, it looks oddly familiar...

That's because it's the same face as the Little Train that Could, elsewhere in the Forest! Weird and cool! I guess is saves money when you reuse molds.

That aside, we'll go in order of the walk. This is the "Dunce" sitting inside the Little Red Schoolhouse just inside the main entrance. Like any proper dunce, he is using this time to properly contemplate his life choices. He's definitely not thinking about his next plan of attack on the girl in the back row's braids...

Little Miss Muffet looks scared. I wonder why?

The Crooked Man is a proud supporter of Zip-Ties® (Kidding aside, this statue was repainted this year and looks incredible!) Here's what it used to be like:

I certainly prefer him standing up as opposed to laying in a field of weeds.

Moving past the Little Train, we see Pussy in the Well. I've always wondered if there used to be a real cat in here.


Part 2 tomorrow!
