Dig-a-World Stuffed Ant Michael #TA-231 New w/tags

This is one of the 1998-1999 Dig-a-World collection of Stuffed Plush Animal Ants. The collection consists of 12 different stuffed ants. This auction is for Michael from the collection 99. Michael is the basketball player. Michael is new and stands approximately 14" high. He was a bit dusty but I have cleaned him as best as I could. There is a suction cup on the back to stick on windows. Michael is green and is wearing red & white shoes/socks, black pants with hot pink trim and a coral shirt with black trim. His tags are still attached. One tag shows the entire collection as a small booklet. The other tag is the certificate of authenticity which reads: "This certificate guarantees the authenticity of the Dig-a-World Stuffed Ant you have purchased. This certificate is signed by the inventor of the Dig- a-World, Dig-a-Toon Cartoon characters. Congratulations! You are now the owner of a unique Dig-a-Ant plush collector's item."
