Description

The Munsters Herman Munster Talking Hand Puppet (Mattel, 1964). Released by Mattel at the height of The Munsters TV craze, this talking Herman Munster hand puppet delivered spooky silliness to monster-loving kids in classic 1960s fashion. The puppet features a soft vinyl head sculpted in the likeness of Fred Gwynne's lovable ghoul, paired with a black cloth body and sewn-in blue shirt. Pulling the "Chatty-Ring" activates Herman's pre-recorded phrases, all delivered in his unmistakable voice. Box shows mild edge and corner wear with moderate scuffing, age toning, and light creasing. Figure itself appears unused, with only mild discoloration from age. Talking mechanism has not been tested. See images for further condition details. Items are sold as is. From coffin-shaped TV intros to talking toy shelves, Herman Munster brought charm to every cobwebbed corner of 1960s pop culture. This Mattel hand puppet captures that charm in plastic, cloth, and vinyl - and still says "munsterous" things if you dare to pull the string.
