Starbucks Finger Puppets - Rudolph Series 2003

Starbucks® Collectibles - Finger Puppet Collectors Tin - Assorted Collectibles Holiday Series

These Starbucks Finger puppets are some of my favorite ones. The first year they introduced them they also included a "Herbie The Dentist" puppet along with Rudolph, and the Snowman. Then they released then the following year and included them in a collector tin. Only they took Herbie out and added Yukon Cornelius to the mix. It is interesting how Starbucks repackaged they finger puppets. My guess is that they were so widely popular - I remember everyone wanting the Snowman - so they flew out of the store. Then the following year they released these 3 with a collector tin. Again one of the few places I have seen these are on auction sites like ebay. This collector's tin was offered during the holiday season 2003. The first time the Rudolph finger puppets were offered was in 2002. It is also worth noting that these finger puppets were officially licensed Rudolph the Red Nose Reigndeer products - so they resemble the actual claymation characters of the original childhood movie.
