Condition: Both figures have areas of ware and damage to the paint, the one on the right in the photos more so than the one on the left. The right hand figure has a few areas of damage/loss to the wood which I have shown in the photos. The left hand figure has small areas of damage to the outer edges of its nose.

Height - 39cm
Width - 26cm

Please note that these sizes are maximum sizes of the larger figure - one figure is slightly smaller than the other.
