Betty Boop on a pink scooter collectible figurine
Published by on June 4th, 2008 in collectibles and found on ebay. 0 CommentsIt’s not unusual to see the Betty Boop character on a souped up motorcycle. I was pleasantly surprised to see that she’s also riding a scooter once in awhile. This particular 12-inch, hand-painted Betty Boop figurine just happens to be riding a pink fenderlight scooter, adorned appropriately with a “B”.
It seems that every shop online [...]
