Snoopy & Woodstock: Best Friends

The little boxed set Snoopy & Woodstock: Best Friends comes with a little rubbery Snoopy figurine, a littler-but-not-littler-to-scale Woodstock figurine, and a little paperback book, about 3 inches square. The book is a strip reprint… well, kind of. The strips reprinted are abridged editions, each brought down to two select panels printed in black-and-white on facing pages.

All in all, this thing feels overpriced at $8.95… would probably feel overpriced at half that. The figures are generic, unposable, and unimpressive. I cannot recommend this one.
