Don't Be Shy (PFE) - HUM 379/I HSC 69139093

Club Exclusive!

Patience rewarded! Don’t Be Shy (HUM 379/I) holds one of the most remarkable records in M.I. Hummel history, having been kept "on hold" for nearly 50 years before its official release. Originally titled One For You, this enchanting PFE (Possible Future Edition) figurine depicts a gentle young girl extending a peace offering to a tiny, hesitant bird. It is a masterclass in capturing the quiet, tender moments of trust between children and nature.

Hand-painted in Rödental, Germany, this figurine is a must-have for serious collectors due to its long-awaited debut and historical significance. The soft expression on the girl's face and the delicate details of her feathered friend make it a standout piece in the Children & Animal Friends collection. Whether you are celebrating a breakthrough in courage or simply love rare Hummel history, this piece reminds us that the best things in life are worth the wait.
