"Mr. Right Now" Coots Figurine. Approximate Height: 7"
“The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.” ― Mark Twain
COOTS and BIDDYS are a series of humorous collectible figurines that represent a comprehensive and objective study of the habits and behavior of those little old men and women who have reached the stage of life that no one wants to reach, but few can avoid. They are caricatures of these lively gregarious seniors that we love, in their finest moments.
The men (Coots) are engaged in all of their favorite activities - bowling, golfing, motorcycling, fishing, disco dancing, or just dressing outlandishly. The women (Biddys) are just as colorful, and they proudly show off their take it or leave it, in your face, attitude. They are motorcycle mamas, bowling divas, cool Grandmas, yoga queens, love pirates, and more. We all know a few of them, and this series celebrates the occupations and recreations that make them who they are. Each comes in a colorful illustrated box.
