This is a picture taken of the Jenna and Balto plushies that were
released near X-mas time 1995. They are pretty decent material
wise (and Jenna has a very cute tail!) Though they tend to look
better from a profile view rather then straight on.
One of the only animation collectable items released, it's a beautiful
sericel of Balto and Jenna looking into each other eyes. Your best bet
for picking one of these up is at a place called The Cartoon Company,

A picture obtained by WolfEyes, it has been pointed out that
this is most likely a picture of Togo, as can be told from the
bent-over ear... I'll have to try and dig up a couple of extra
comparison pictures.
Here are the covers from four Balto books that I found while checking out
the online bookstore Amazon.com. I will
write up some short reviews when I get the time. I'll also try to get
some better scans without the wavery pattern on them.
OK, so it's not a full line of Kenner action figures, but I did manage to
get my hands on some of the small Balto toys that were included with the
Kids Meals from Hardees in the US, as well as from Burger King in the UK.
The pictures aren't perfect by any means as I never did find a camera
with a really good zoom, but these should give you a pretty good idea as
to what they look like. You will notice that the UK versions are much
closer to the characters in shape and color. However, the US ones have
moving parts. Personally, I'd take the realism any day. If anyone is
interested in trying to get a set of these for themselves, the only thing
I can suggest is to try contacting the manufacturer at Croco Productions UK Ltd,

A crossover that I hope we'll never see... Gamera Vs. Balto!
Another bit contributed by Steve, this is a picture of the Balto standup
advertisement that he managed to get. I asked for the one from the local
movie theater, but they gave it away to someone else instead.A number of articles and interesting facts contributed by Chance (chance@unix.infoserve.net)
