Introduction

The material presented here is both a result of independent research and a compilation performed by and for the individual WFF Collectors. It is maintained by Lulu O'Pine and published by Concord MouseTrap, Inc on a regular basis.

Guidelines For Lulu's WFF Lists

Lulu's Public WFF Lists provide an on-line, illustrated, reference guide for the Collectors. The project consists of the following individual lists:

• Lulu's Public List of WFF Specials;


• Lulu's Public List of Known WFF Unofficial One-Of-a-Kinds;


• Lulu's Public List of Known WFF Painter Errors;


• Lulu's Public List of WFF Limited Production Runs.

Lulu's Public List of WFF Specials includes both WFF special colors and WFF special pieces.

By a WFF special color, we mean a WFF figurine which satisfies the following conditions:

• it has to be a variation of a regular (generally available to public) piece;


• it has to be different from the regular pieces only by its coloring or by design of the base;


• it has to be issued or endorsed by the factory;


• the availability of a WFF special color has to be restricted by the factory to designated retailers or WFF events.

By a WFF special piece, we mean a WFF figurine which satisfies the following conditions:

• it has to have a mold not included into the WFF Catalog published by the Factory;


• it has to be issued or endorsed by the factory;


• the availability of a WFF special piece has to be restricted by the factory to designated retailers or WFF events.

For each piece, we include the official name and catalog number (if it applies), as published or announced by the Factory; the name of the store or event for which the special was issued; quantity and year of issue (if they are known); a description of the piece or specific color, and an illustration (as long as we can get it). We do not offer any details on the secondary market pricing.

"Unofficial One-Of-a-Kinds"

Lulu's Public List of Known WFF Unofficial One-Of-a-Kinds includes WFF pieces in colors not issued by the factory, but painted for a "personal collection only". The pieces have to be originally painted in this color by factory employees, and not painted over regular colors after being purchased at WFF retailers. These pieces are usually unique.

For each piece, we include the official name and catalog number (if it applies), as published or announced by the Factory; a description of the specific color, and an illustration (as long as we can get it).

Other WFF Lists by Lulu

The other kinds of uncommon and rare colors that do not satisfy our WFF Specials' or Unofficial One-Of-a-Kinds' conditions, will be compiled in separate lists as follows:

• Lulu's Public List of Known WFF Painter Errors (such as wrong button colors, painting details missing, etc);


• Lulu's Public List of WFF Limited Production Runs (such as limited edition pieces, limited time or quantity color variations available at the most retailers, etc)

Collective effort

Please share your knowledge and experience with the WFF community by sending us facts, pictures (only your own please), and any corrections. As always, email address is LuluOPine@aol.com. All pictures created and submitted by the WFF collectors will show appropriate credits on a watermark, unless specifically requested not to. All senders will appear on the list of credits, unless they specifically request anonymity. We encourage you to add to the common benefit.

Please note that for some pieces, we provide a link to a picture on a third-party site (it will be marked "Photo at...") We have no control over their availability or quality. We will be replacing the links with our own pictures (or, with pictures sent by you), as soon as they are available.
