Schmid Aladdin figurine

I have never heard of Schmid brand before but it seems to have a quite long history in porcelain industry. I came across of this figurine while searching for Aladdin 20th Anniversary figurine by Costa Alavezos that I missed buying and never come across since then. That was in 2013 but I only bought this Schmid figurine in 2018. Honestly, the face is ugly. The reason for finally buying this was because I bought other Aladdin porcelain figurines during my Japan trip in September 2018. Perhaps after that I sort of could tolerate ugly faces. Haha...

I think these are handpainted because the images online are not identical. I do not know when this was produced but there seems to be a never ending listing in eBay. I see some listings have more acceptable faces than mine. Lol. Anyway I bought 2 of this since the shipping fee (USD 19.08) was double of the price of the figurine itself (USD 9.50). So in total I paid USD 38.08 (SGD 53.50) for two. The box measures 13.2cm (L) x 19cm (H) x 9.3cm (W) and the figurine itself is around 18cm.

The print quality of the images and text on the box is so bad that perhaps these are not originals? I don't know..

The paint job is actually pretty good. Just that for this piece, the eyeballs are too 'far' out

A random basket which is definitely to ensure that the figurine is stable

Another mark of 'uniqueness' of each figurine, the 'hole' on the foot always looks different in various photos I see on eBay.

Although I have 2, I am too lazy to take both for a side by side comparison.
