    Mister Rogers toys by Ideal





    I wasn't much of a Mr Rogers viewer (more of a Mr. Dressup man) but these toys are all kinds of awesome. I really love the attention to detail on them.







    We have a PodCast! It's fun, please listen.

    I was genuinely scared to sleep in the same room as Lady Elaine. I used to stare at that freaky puppet in the dim twilight of my bedroom until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.

    ...I can only assume if I didn't, it would have gotten me while I slept and I would have become like that possessed-looking kid in the ad.

        I would have begged for these had I known they existed, (BTW, when did these come out?) And who's Mr. Dressup?

          They came out in '77, I believe. I was too old for them then, but I recall really wanting to ask for X the Owl.

              OMG! I haven't thought about Mr. Dressup in years, no, make that decades! I grew up in Michigan across the border from Canada, so we picked up a lot of Canadian channels! I actually liked his show more than Mr. Rogers. I watched the video link you provided, and it brought back a lot of memories I had forgotten years ago! Thanks! I started humming along the theme song even and knew how it went. It's a weird feeling seeing this again after all these years.

                It's strange, but at the time I didn't realize how similar Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Dressup were, but watching it now, I can see the similarities. Mr. Dressup has the same calm soothing voice like Mr. Rogers. I should try playing this at bed time to help me fall asleep faster.

                    Ah yes, I remember Mr. Dressup well. Casey, Finnegan, Alligator Al.
                    Also remember The Friendly Giant... with Rusty and Jerome.
                    And of course... Uncle Bobby... and Bimbo the Birthday Clown.

                      Big Mister Rogers fan during my pre-school years, but I was always confused by Lady Elaine. Was she an ugly old woman...or an ugly old man? The name never stuck in my head, just the visual.

                      Either way, Lady Elaine obviously liked booze. Look at that nose!

                        Mr Rogers was Yoda to Mr Dressup's Skywalker. True story!

                          Rusty and Gerome were on display for years at the CBC Museum. What irritates me a little is I found out after Bob Homme died that a) He lived close to me and b) HE LOVED IT WHEN PEOPLE VISITED. AGGGHHHH!

                            We had some solid children's entertainment up here, and I would have visited Bob too if I had known he'd be okay with it. Bimbo, on the other hand, is a little scary in retrospect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moVmHzcawvw

                              We had a Mr. Rogers exhibit come to our Strong Museum of Play here in Rochester. It was awesome. They sold wooden trolley cars, repro puppets, Mr. McFeely's children's book. My daughter was the right age, and we bought a ton. Unfortunately, that was years ago, and I don't think much of it survived.

                              I got to meet Mr. McFeely at a Con in Niagara Falls a few years later. He was in costume, and had no one at his booth, so me and my brother had an awesome chat with him about Michael Keaton's start on the show, and his collaboration with George Romero's crew.
