The latest Minikin is patterned after Umbopa, King of the Watusi Tribe, as he appears in the 1950 film version of King Solomon's Mines. This is a character that we have always wanted to "turn into a doll", and a Minikin just the right answer.
This little Umbopa stands at a towering height of 4-1/2 inches and even carries his traveling blanket role. His brightly colored robes are made of Wool/Rayon felt and stitched with linen and cotton floss. His impressive hair-do is sculpted out of 100% needle-felted wool. Picture above shows our MINIKIN Umbopa alongside pictures of the real one!
The Minikin King of the Watusi doll is available in our Etsy shop. Just use the link in the bar at the top of this page to visit our store.
