My dad (RIP) had a really funny story about his Charlie McCarthy dummy. It was one of the few real toys he actually owned, and his younger brother and sister figured if he could talk he could eat. So one day when my dad was at school, they stuffed him full of creamed spinach, and put him back in my dad's room. Sadly there was no saving Charlie after that. He had to be thrown out.
And BTW, I LOVE Jeff Dunham! He's coming to Oakland in March! HOORAY!"Do you believe, you believe in magic?

Lol.
Speaking of Magic, I found the commercials terrifying and that's what made me pack up Charlie. But, when I saw the film many years later it was just creepy.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I had a Howdy Doody too. My 2 cousins each had one as gifts for Xmas from our grandparents. Theirs was a trigger squeezing talking version compared to the draw string type I had to open and close the mouth. I assume I had the older model. I've always wanted to get one again, but the prices are insane in the membrane.Comment
