THIS ITEM HAS NEVER BEEN USED, DISPLAYED OR REMOVED FROM BOX OR PLASTIC BEFORE TAKING PICTURES FOR THIS sale.It has been in its box since I purchased it in 2012, sitting in a closet with other Pokitpal boxes I did not open. I believe this one was only available through the Disney Parks.
The top side of the Pokitpal shows the Matterhorn and the bottom of the box has a big YETI footprint. At least I think it\'s a Yeti, right?. There are very nice floral designs on the sides of the box. It\'s a very cool little item that you can hide something small in. Or use as a pill box. Or just as another piece for your Disneyland decor.
Here\'s some info on the Matterhorn Bobsleds I found on Wikipedia:
Matterhorn Bobsleds are a pair of intertwined steel roller coasters at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It is modeled after the Matterhorn, a mountain in the Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It is the first known tubular steel track roller coaster. Located on the border between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, it employs forced perspective to seem larger. The Matterhorn Bobsleds have a striking resemblance to \"one of the oldest rollercoasters in the world, Rutschebanen, also known as Bjergbanen (the Mountain Coaster, which opened in 1914 and still operates with a rider on each train braking the car on each hill).\" Similar to Rutschebanen (at the Tivoli in Copenhagen, Denmark), which predated it by nearly half a century, the top of the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride is also an icy scene, and the snowbirds and the interior featuring the Abominable Snowman are also quite similar in design.

Here\'s a little info I found out about Robert Olszewski I found on his website:
Robert William Olszewski (pronounced ol-shes-ski) has established himself as a major influence in the creation and production of miniature figurative art. Robert Olszewski began his art career first as a painter and as an art teacher who evolved to become a world known miniature figurative artist, sculptor, and architect. In 1977, his first serious miniature figurative works were sculpted to accessorize a doll house that he built for his daughter, Meredith. Over a 30-year career, Olszewski’s miniature work continues to evolve, and he has created a body of work that is collected worldwide.
