When I was in New Orleans a few weeks ago, I passed by a hat shop on Jackson Square (for those familiar with the city). I saw a hat in the window... Not any hat, but a tiny DP!
With some cajoling and convincing, I bought one of the two tiny hats in the store. The owner told me she had received them as a promo for the new movie, and that they weren't normally for sale. She let it go for $20!!
Here it is, with my AB.

Yes, Shushan's!!!! And, no, I didn't get the chance to hit Meyer's. I was only in town for three days, unfortunately.

Dang, Oak. You must have jumped into a river while wearing that hat.

Cool little sales sample! It would look great on an Indy Mickey Mouse.
Cheers!

Stop by and ask! She only had the two, and one was a window display she wouldn't part with. That was several weeks ago, and she may have aquired more! They really were nice folks to deal with.

That DP is quite a novelty.

Saw a little guy like that at a hat store in Vancouver. One of the girls working there is keeping it for a puppet.
