In honor of the 60th anniversary of Peanuts, Dark Horse has brought the original look back with these twin-packs of small vinyl figures. Each set shows the characters as they were in the old days and what they are like now. Each figure measures close to 4" in height and stands on a grass-green base (not pictured), and features a sculpt by the talents at Yoe! Studio.

Both are in a running pose, which makes them look well placed together as a set," Kali Dugan, Product Sales Manager of Dark Horse Comics told TDmonthly.
