TOMY TETHERED REMOTE CONTROL "SNIFFY THE NOSEY PUPPY" PERFECTLY WORKING W/BOX!

Description

HERE I AM OFFERING A
N VERY
RARE, TOMY "SNIFFY THE NOSEY PUPPY" WITH IT'S CLEVER "BONE SHAPED" TETHERED REMOTE CONTROL WHICH IS STILL IN IT'S ORIGINAL FACTORY BOX! THE KICKER HERE IS THAT THIS PUPPY IS STILL IN PERFECT OPERATIONAL CONDITION/SHAPE!
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 9
5
% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS SNIFFY PUPPY IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
I DO NOT KNOW THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THIS VINTAGE TOMY PUPPY AS IT WAS ACQUIRED FROM A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHO RESIDES IN CHICAGO AND BACK IN THE EARLY '80'S HE HAD A MASSIVE COLLECTION OF JAPANESE MADE TOYS AND NOVELTIES. THIS CAME FROM HIS COLLECTION AND HAS BEEN IN DRY STORAGE EVER SINCE IT CAME HOME WITH ME.
THIS
REMOT
E CONTROL PUPPY IS, ONCE AGAIN, IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER WITH NO MECHANICAL ISSUES WHAT-SO-EVER. ALL OF THE FEATURES WORK TO INCLUDE :
1.) WALKING FORWARD,
2.) THE TAIL WAGS,
3.) LOOKS LIKE HE/SHE IS SNIFFING AROUND,
4.) WRINKLES UP IT'S NOSE WHILE SNIFFING,
5.) THE EYES ROLL AROUND IN IT'S HEAD,
6.) THE EARS STAND UP AND POP BACK DOWN,
7.) SEPARATE BUTTON FOR WALKING THE DOG (AND DO ALL OF THE ABOVE ACTIONS) AND
8.) SEPARATE BUTTON TO PERFORM THE SNIFFING ACTION (NUMBER 3 ABOVE) WHICH ALSO INCLUDES ACTIONS, 2, 5 & 6 FROM THE ABOVE.
THIS TINPLATE, FUR COVERED PUPPY WAS A MARVEL OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY BACK IN THE DAY. I AM SURE THE INTERNAL WORKINGS ARE VERY COMPLEX AS TO ALLOW THIS PUPPY TO PERFORM ALL OF THESE FEATURES.
TO OPERATE THIS PUPPY, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO UNWIND THE WIRE WHICH IS CURRENTLY WRAPPED AROUND THE BONE SHAPED TETHERED REMOTE CONTROL, INSTALL TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED) AS PICTURED. THEN YOU PLACE THE PUPPY DOWN ON ANY LEVEL SURFACE AND GO AT IT!
THE FUR ON THE PUPPY'S BODY IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE/CONDITION. IT IS STILL WELL ATTACHED ALL AROUND. YOU HAVE NO STAINS AND VERY SLIGHT DISCOLORATION DUE TO IT'S AGE. THE ORIGINAL COLLAR IS STILL ON THE PUPPY. NONE OF THE STITCHING IS COMING APART OR SHOWS ANY WEAR.
THE TINPLATE EYES ARE WORKING AS NEW AND THE COLORS ARE STILL SHARP.
THE ORIGINAL WIRE IS IN SHOWCASE CONDITION AND IS STILL PLIABLE AND HAS NO CRACKS OR SPLITS.
THE BONE SHAPED REMOTE CONTROL LOOKS NEW AND UNUSED. INSIDE OF THIS REMOTE CONTROL IS LIKE NEW, YOU HAVE NO RUST OR CORROSION
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. IT DOES SHOW SOME VERY SLIGHT SHELF RASH FROM BEING STORED FOR MORE THEN A FEW DECADES. ON ONE OF THE SMALLER SIDES THE CORNER IS TORN AND VINTAGE TAPE HAS BEEN APPLIED TO KEEP IT TOGETHER. THIS TEAR RUNS ACROSS THE ENTIRE SIDE PANEL AND HAS TAPE COVERING IT. SOME OF THE LIDS EDGES HAVE SMALL TEARS ON THEM. HAND WRITTEN ON A SMALLER SIDE YOU HAVE "#V3/2620". THE LID ALSO HAS A SLIGHT DEPRESSION ON IT. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL 16 STAPLES STILL HOLD THE LID AND BASE WELL CONNECTED. ALL OF THE PRINT IS COLORFUL AND CLEAN.
I TESTED THIS PUPPY TODAY THE 17TH OF MARCH AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY. ALL OF THE FEATURES WORK WITHOUT ANY HESITATION OR ISSUES.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA EBAY MESSAGING AND I WILL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THESE SELLERS WHO SAY "NOT TESTED " AND/OR "SOLD AS IS" OR I LOVE THIS ONE... "I DO NOT HAVE THE BATTERIES, SO THIS MODEL/TOY WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED AND AS IS"! THEY MIGHT AS WELL CALL IT AS IT IS ..... "BROKEN AND NOT WORKING"!! COME ON NOW..... AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO PLACE IN A FEW BATTERIES TO TEST WHAT IT IS YOUR SELLING? PRETTY DAMN SIMPLE IF YOU ASK ME!
