Long Limbed Puppet & Mouse Beanie Toys [Feb 2009]

[Ghost Of The Doll]

Kelly emailed me four descriptions, two of which have now been identified:

"I have a few things that I would absolutely LOVE to find out what they are called, and I apologise now for vague descriptions. From what I can remember, they were probably early to mid 80s when I had them.

1:"I believe it was a puppet, it had really long arms and legs (think they were velcro, not positive). It had long brown shaggy hair, and I think it had yellow or brown eyes. I can't recall if it had a nose or not.

2:"It was a gray mouse, had light pink inner ears. I am pretty sure it didn't have a tail, but I could be wrong and I'm just not picturing it. I believe it had black eyes. The inside of the mouse was stuffed with what was like a plastic bead type pellets.

Thank you for any help! Kelly

Kelly just emailed me with this addition:

"Well I have been looking and I "think" I may have found what the long limbed puppet was, I found 'Furry Huggems' but I can only seem to find one that looks like a dog and no other variations, maybe it will help to find the brown puppet I described?  Im not sure if this is the right one or not, but seems to have the same type of long hair that mine did (It may have even had the really long hair as seen on the ears on its whole entire body, and it was all dark brown). Mine did not have ears that I remember, and I don't think it had a tail, but I could be wrong...I also wanted to add, Im pretty sure you put your arm into his whole body and then your hand goes into the mouth.  I want to say his nose may have been oval or like the one pictured on the dog.  I found this link to one for sale on Ebay, so maybe someone could either find and confirm or if they know of another company that made something similar?
Thanks again!!
Kelly"
