About Chip 'n' Dale Tiny Tricksters 4057947

“Tiny Tricksters” captures Chip and Dale enjoying a little Halloween mischief, popping out of a smiling pumpkin with their arms raised and plenty of personality.

Chip wears a skeleton costume finished with a purple bow tie, while Dale is dressed as a vampire, complete with a dark cape and red detailing. Their cheerful expressions give the piece a playful feel that makes it particularly appealing for a family-friendly Halloween display.

Designed by Jim Shore for Disney Traditions, the figurine combines familiar Disney characters with decorative folk-art patterns, carved-effect textures and a colourful geometric base.

Production History

Tiny Tricksters was introduced in 2017 and is now recorded as a retired design. Entertainment Earth also lists it as sold out, with no further shipments expected. 

The underside label identifies the piece by its title and product number, 4057947, alongside the Disney Traditions and Disney Showcase Collection branding.

As a hand-painted design, individual examples may show small variations in colour and finish. 

Special Features of Tiny Tricksters

The Halloween costumes are the main attraction, giving each chipmunk his own distinctive look while keeping the pair together in one compact scene.

Notable features include:

• Chip’s skeleton outfit and purple bow tie

• Dale’s vampire costume with red accents

• A large orange jack-o’-lantern with a smiling face

• Purple scrollwork decorating the pumpkin

• Green sculpted leaves and curling vine details

• A purple-and-blue geometric base

• Textured surfaces with a carved appearance

Design Details

The pumpkin provides a warm orange backdrop for the characters, while the purple decoration gives the design an unmistakable Halloween palette.

Chip’s pale skeleton detailing stands out against his dark costume, and Dale’s sweeping cape adds movement to the scene. Their open arms and delighted expressions make the pair look as though they have just sprung out to surprise someone.

The decoration continues around the pumpkin and across the patterned base, giving the eye plenty to explore beyond the characters themselves.

Why Collectors Love It

Tiny Tricksters brings together two much-loved Disney characters and a seasonal theme that suits their mischievous personalities beautifully.

For Chip and Dale collectors, the costumes offer an entertaining variation on their familiar appearance. For Disney Halloween collectors, the pumpkin setting makes the piece easy to combine with other autumnal designs.

Its appeal also lies in the balance of detail and simplicity: the scene is immediately recognisable, but the costumes, leaves and decorative patterns reward a closer look.

What I Love

What I love most about this piece is how much fun Chip and Dale seem to be having. Their expressions make the whole scene feel cheerful, and the little skeleton costume with its purple bow tie is particularly charming.

The orange and purple colours work beautifully together, while the smiling pumpkin keeps the design sweet rather than frightening. It is the sort of piece that brings a little personality to an autumn display.

Display Ideas

Tiny Tricksters works particularly well among autumn leaves, berries and decorative pumpkins, as shown in the styled photographs.

Other display ideas include:

• At the centre of a small Disney Halloween arrangement

• Alongside other costumed Disney Traditions characters

• On a shelf dedicated to Chip and Dale

• Against a plain background to highlight the costumes

• Paired with cream pumpkins to complement the stronger colours

Tiny Tricksters is a cheerful Disney Traditions Halloween design that makes excellent use of Chip and Dale’s playful personalities.

With its contrasting costumes, smiling pumpkin and colourful Jim Shore decoration, it is a charming addition to an autumn display or a collection devoted to Disney’s mischievous chipmunks!
