Boyhood has reached a significant milestone with a new collaboration, teaming up with Disney to create and produce signature wooden versions of Disney’s Mickey Mouse

“Our collaboration with Boyhood offers something memorable for Disney fans and collectors, as it captures a beautiful design of the ultimate icon, Mickey Mouse, through intentional craftsmanship,” says Marcus Rosie, senior vice president, global creative, Disney Consumer Products. “Our continued collaborations with global creators allow us to expand our product offerings and consumer audiences while leaning into innovative storytelling in a modernized way.” 

Celebrating craftsmanship, this wooden Mickey Mouse edition connects fans with the roots of Mickey Mouse’s heritage, blending history with the magic of Disney through a modern lens. The handcrafted wooden figure reflects the charm and nostalgia associated with Mickey Mouse’s early days and vintage toys, while celebrating the enduring appeal of the character. 

“Our wooden figures showcase Mickey Mouse drawn up in an exciting new way,” says Jakob Burgsø, designer, founder, Boyhood. “Normally, I don’t get speechless, but I am so proud to have brought this collaboration with Disney to life. Many of the iconic Disney figures have been a huge part of my childhood, and to get the chance as an adult to work with these characters is a dream come true and a walk down memory lane. An opportunity like this is very rare. To be trusted to design a selection of wooden collectibles for one of the world’s most admired Disney characters is a remarkable honor. The result is amazing. The craftsmanship is extremely intricate and skilled, and we have achieved a result that sets new standards for wooden sculptures. With this masterpiece of highly skilled craftmanship we have no doubt that we have made an icon that will last for generations.”
