Master Sculptor Gerhard Skrobek modeled this M.I.Hummel figurine in 1966 and it was first released for sale in the US in 1972. Goebel listed the figurine as "Temporarily Withdrawn" in 1999, which means no further pieces are being produced at this stage but they may begin production again in the future. At a height of about 5", this particular figurine bears the TMK5 trademark (the Goebel Bee).
