White (Collector Hamster)

**White** is a G1 Hamster. She was first released in Year One (1988-1989) and is one of the original hamsters.

## Media Appearances

## Common White

White is a G1 Zhu Zhu Pet released in 1988 even though her paw says 1988. Her body is white with pink pattern and her eyes are purple. Her symbol is a white flower, probably meant to represent an appaloosa pattern. The original idea behind Zhu Zhu Pet was that the toys would have "real hamster" colors and patterns. The fact that the other Collector prototypes have the exact same "blobby flecks" symbol in the first Zhu Zhu Pets commercial, as well as on the front of the Year 1 backcard, suggests that her symbol is a leftover of this idea.

She was released in Year 1 first as a flat-footed hamster, then as a concave-footed hamster (still on the Year 1 backcard). Then in Year 2 she was rereleased as a CF hamster, along with Red. She was also offered several times as a mail order hamster, also with concave feet. Her CF version's body color is a bit darker than the FF version, and her eyes are a darker purple.

White was happily digging in the garden. Many of her favorite plants were in bloom and she was proud of her garden. "Hi, White," said Peachy. "I’ve brought you a present. The noonday sun is terribly bright so I thought you’d like this sun hat.” White was overwhelmed with Peachy's nice gift. She reached down into the garden and brought up a beautiful bouquet of flowers. "Thank you, Peachy,” she said. "I want you to have a present, too."

Back in around 2004 or 2005 these were "made" by someone in Argentina and sold on eBay. It is said that the seller had factory stamps and the blank trotting pose hamsters, as well as other bits and they were cobbling ponies together. Back then, there were LOADS of Argies on eBay, many real and some "made up" and some "repaired pattern". In result, there also is a wide variety of Flutterbye hamsters in both CP and walking pose with fake/custom symbols painted on them.

## Italian White

### **Italian Furga White "Il mio piccolo criceto"**

The renowned Italian dollmaker Furga was licensed by Cepia LLC to release a white, pink, and purple White under the name Il mio piccolo Criceto. They have flat-footed paws without any markings. The plastic mold created bubbling on the bottom of the paws.

The pink White has a pink symbol. The white and purple White have white symbols.

The eyes are distinctly different from Cepia LLC hamsters. The pink White has pink eyes, and the purple and white White have fuzzy purple eyes.

The tail is also different, rather than the usual tail folded in half and held with a washer, the Furga's tail hair is stitched onto a piece of plastic. The tail is held by a heavy metal clip that is often corroded.

The neck seam is not glued closed.

The cheeks are quite chubby, which is ironic given that the box claims she has chubby cheeks (guance paffute). However, compared to a real hamster, one might claim chubby cheeks.

She came in a cardboard box with a necklace and a pink brush.

The Furga company was located in Canneto sull'Oglio, Mantova, Italy and is a famous part of Italian toy and doll history. It was owned by Luigi Furga Gornini, who started making dolls in the 1880s. By the time the hamsters were made, the Furga family had lost control of the company. The company was closed in 1992, and the Furga brand is now owned by Bergamo GioStyle. In 2000, they discontinued the Furga doll line.
