grasstainsThe Pee Wee doll used to say something (can't remember what) when I pulled the string in back, but it's been all garbled for years. "Big Adventure" was one of the first DVDs I ever bought. The commentary is really cool as Danny Elfman describes meeting Tim Burton at a party and not being entirely sure wether he could do a soundtrack, having never done one before. It was also Burton's first attempt at a feature length motion picture. They've been partners ever since.

I believe you were asking for this a few days ago:

Braling IIHey, Grassy! Nice list! Never heard of some of those.

Robot LincolnThanks Grass, thats amazing. Just trying to scroll down takes a minute! I too have to admit, I used to have a Herman Munster doll I treasured. That shows my age. The string finally broke on it. If only I had a fraction of my toys. Dameit! I loved the time machine in Napoleon, ouch!
I've just run amuck on e-bay! My plastic is meeeeeeelting & your little kiwi too! My ez-bake oven should be here in 7-10 working days. I also ordered an Evil Kneival doll to put inside...

Robot LincolnWhat was your favorite childhood toy? Do you still have it?
Mine was Tiger. A little stuffed yellow and black tiger laying in a recumbent position with his paws folded in front and hindlegs up in back. He fit perfectly under my arm when I slept at night keeping bad dreams at bay. I still have him although he is missing one eye now unfortunately.

grasstainsI don't remember a lot of my childhood. The only things I have left are some JACKSON 5 albums and Christmas ornaments.
I did figure out what the PEE WEE HERMAN doll says. If I hold onto the string while releasing it, rather than just pulling it out and letting go, I can hear what he says.
1.) "I love you"
2.) "I know you are but what am I?"
3.) That silly giggle
Oh, I had Steve Austin, Jamie Summers, and Oscar Goldman dolls! I remember making up my own episodes of THE 12 MILLION DOLLAR COUPLE. I didn't have a villain, so Oscar usually had to assume that role.

dandelionYes, I still have my first teddy bear, many other original childhood toys, and replacements of others.

Braling III had a dummy named Peter - he didn't survive the operation. I decided I was going to be a surgeon, you see...

fjpalumboBr2, with all of your traipsing around (You know, ventures into South America waiting for things to cool off with the gang and that courious BrI situation, oops!), did you ever cross paths in the North with these Vaudevillians?
