Frollo was the first full figure clown sculpture offered by the studio as a limited edition. Introduced with a declared issue of 1,000 copies Frollo was priced at $750. The edition was never completed and by 1986 Frollo had been retired with an undisclosed number having been produced. The highest numbers found have been in the upper 300 range which indicates the edition was likely reduced to 400 from 1,000.

Introduced as a limited edition of 750 copies within the United States and 75 copies outside the U.S., Jumbles was the first limited edition known to be "downgraded" by the studio to an open edition status.

Introduced as an open edition and as a gender-neutral child wearing clown attire, Funny Face measured 10 1/2" tall. Early copies are found attached to wooden bases where later copies are attached to porcelain bases painted black. By 1985 the studio had experienced success in releasing child head/busts in boy and girl sets, thus Funny Face received a companion. Valentine was a girl clown head and the studio began referring to Funny Face as a boy. The two were sold through 1999 priced separately until 1993 when they were sold as a set at a slight discount.

Lucky
Released in 1986
This variation of the iconic Funny Face Child Clown head was re-themed for a special event at the Claridge Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. A New Year's Eve gala on December 31st, 1986. The event featured dinner and entertainment. Attendees received this special edition as part of their ticket price.

Design number unknown
Named Lucky, the event piece was a numbered, limited edition restricted to 300 copies. Lucky had an attached brass plate engraved with his name and "New Years 1987-Claridge Casino-Hotel". (Owners most often opted to remove these plates as they were attached with a double sided tape with light adhesive.) He was available only to those pre-paying to attend the event by reserving their seats in advance. Attendees arriving at reserved tables found their "Lucky" event sculpture next to their personalized place cards.

Lucky was the same size as all other Funny Face versions. While the bases used over the years remained a constant size, the composition of those bases did not. Initially mahogany was used. Later painted wood was substituted and finally a composite resin material became the standard. Black painted porcelain bases have been found on some copies.
