Yeah, my mouth works good. Yeah, this is a Vynil puppet doll. I think this is called Charlie McGillicutty, or something like that. It's one of those guys. But this guy here is very cute, but what you have to notice about this guy is that this guy is new. Now, the old ones are worth a small fortune, but this is a Vynil one, and he's not worth nearly as much. But he is in great condition, and he'd probably go for about $60--$50 or $60--at an antique store. And here's his buddy. His buddy is not in as good condition because, see his little mouth? This is a Walter Winchell guy, Jerry Mahoney. His little mouth went bye-bye. So this guy, somebody's going to have to readjust his mouth. It's down in there somewhere. But because condition is everything, this guy's going to be worth maybe half, because when your mouth doesn't work, it's not a good thing. So, when you're buying dolls, make sure that condition, condition, condition, is what you look for, because a mouthless doll is a worthless doll.
