Vintage Ideal Mushmouse Hand Puppet. Measures about 10.5" in height. Good condition. Shows age and use, some paint rub on face and has a spot on back of head.
Step into the golden age of Saturday morning cartoons with this authentic 1964 Mushmouse hand puppet. Produced by the Ideal Toy Company, this piece was a tie-in for "The Magilla Gorilla Show," where Mushmouse starred alongside his hillbilly rival, Punkin' Puss. This puppet is a significant piece of television history, as it was part of one of the first major marketing collaborations between a toy manufacturer and an animation studio.
The puppet stands 10.5 inches tall and features a high-quality soft vinyl head that captures Mushmouse’s wide-eyed, mischievous look. The vibrant yellow cloth body remains eye-catching with its original screen-printed graphics still clearly visible. As a vintage toy that has been enjoyed for decades, it shows honest signs of play including some minor paint rubs on the face and a small spot on the back of the head. For collectors of Hanna-Barbera memorabilia or mid-century Ideal toys, this Mushmouse puppet is a quintessential find that brings a touch of 1960s whimsy to any display.
This item is vintage, over 60 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
