Wanted FTC "Fred Mertz (William Frawley) figure

[PNGwynne]

Jeez, I can't find one of these things--does anyone have a Fred Mertz reMego from FTC, circa 2008?

Thanks!

I'm sitting here picturing Fred driving the ATV that you want, too.

LOL They're completely unrelated, but that's funny. Funny enough to be a good scene in "I Love Lucy":

RICKY: Oh Lucy, Fred's stuck in a ditch with Ethel--you got some 'splaining to do!

Good luck, I think the male Lucy figures are some of the hardest to come across.

If you can't find one and want to "kitbash" a Fred I sell resign copies of the head.

My sister grabbed the I Love Lucy FTC set when they first appeared, I thought it was silly then
but they sold out fast, then Amazon had them and upped the price and she grabbed another
Lucy and Ricky, there were 5 in the set 2 Lucy's, Rickey, Ethel and Fred, she has them nicely
tucked away and safe, I guess it wasn't so silly after all, I should have picked up an extra Fred at the time
since I liked William Frawley on the show.

I couldn't believe when I read the authorized biography years ago on "I Love Lucy." I never realized there was so much hate on that show.

It just seemed like everyone just despised one another. Yet, the chemistry on that show was phenominal.

Yes, Vivian Vance was upset that they matched her up with a much older man, I think she believed she was actually
insulted that they thought of her as an older woman, she did not get along at all with William Frawley, whom she
said was very rude and unfriendly. When she learned later on that Frawley passed away, she had no remorse
and was at a restaurant when she found out and it's (rumored) she had said something like " let's celebrate, next round
on me" very sad.

He really was a SOB as I understand, even on "My Three Sons."

Magyar, I'll keep you in mind, I may have to resort to a resin copy. Have a neat project planned, but its success all hinges on Mike Rogers & I need to touch base with him.

...there were 5 in the set 2 Lucy's, Rickey, Ethel and Fred...I should have picked up an extra Fred at the time

I nabbed a few Rickys for their excellent tuxedoes, I wish I had the foresight to get a Fred *sigh*.

*bump* The search for a Mertz noggin continues---can anyone help?

[PNGwynne]

*BUMP* Perhaps at MegoMeet? How can a CTVT Fred be a grail piece, that's crazy lol.
