Disney’s connection to rival studio Paramount can be found in the Star Trek actor who created the role of Pavel Chekov. Walter Koenig, also known for his appearances as the evil telepath Bester on Babylon 5, has been collection Disneyana for years.
 
“I have a Sirocco set from the 40s made of composition. They’re all characters from Pinocchio and include Figaro, Honest John, Giddy and Lampwick.” He also has all but one of the Disneykins—he’s missing a Dalmatian–produced in the 40s, 50s and 60s by Marx Toys. “Those from the film The Sword And The Stone are the most interesting to me. They’re small and quite fragile and at the time I was looking for them, extremely hard to find.”

The entire second floor of Walter’s North Hollywood home is given over to shelves and cases containing tiny Yensids and Dewdrop Fairies, Ichabod Cranes and Headless Horsemen. And while the Fab Five—the Mouse himself, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto—are represented, it’s the secondary characters who are closest to his heart. “You can find a million Donalds and Mickeys. The fun is in collecting character pieces that are rarely seen otherwise.”
