Authentic Toad Hollow collectible figurine by Westland Giftware. This whimsical frog features a silly expression with crossed 'googly' eyes, a protruding tongue, and legs kicked up in the air behind its head.

Perfect for frog collectors or garden-themed indoor decor.
Key Features
Toad Hollow is a recognized collectible line with a dedicated niche following. Discontinued items from this series maintain value better than generic garden resin. The 'silly' or 'goofy' series is particularly popular for desk decor and kitsch collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Style matches the Westland Giftware 'Toad Hollow' design language exactly (distinctive eye style and floral skin textures). Makers mark or sticker should be present on the flat bottom surface.
Flaws to Note
No visible flaws. Buyers should check for tiny chips on the tips of the fingers or the end of the tongue, as these are the most common points of damage for resin figurines.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy. eBay is best for reaching the widest audience of 'Toad Hollow' collectors. Etsy is suitable if marketed as '00s Vintage' decor for a whimsical or fairy-garden aesthetic.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Toad Hollow', 'Westland Giftware', 'Whimsical Frog', and 'Kitsch'. Take a clear photo of the bottom showing any stamps or stickers. This is a small, lightweight item, so it can be shipped cheaply via USPS Ground Advantage, which helps keep the total price attractive to buyers.
