Vintage Telco Animated Caroler Boy. Measures about 25" in height. Lights up and moves. Very good condition. No box.
Bring the nostalgic magic of 1980s holiday displays into your home with this vintage 1987 Telco Motion-ette animated caroler boy. Standing approximately 25 inches tall, this impressive figure is part of the original Motion-ettes of Christmas collection, which became a staple of American holiday decor for its lifelike animation and charming Victorian aesthetic. The caroler is outfitted for a winter evening in a heavy dark coat with substantial faux fur collar and cuffs, a coordinating fur hat, and a long festive striped scarf.
This particular model is highly sought after for its dual animation and illumination; when plugged in, the caroler's head turns and his arms move in a gentle motion while the held lantern glows with a warm light. Unlike many later versions that transitioned to plastic, these early Telco dolls are prized for their quality craftsmanship and detailed fabric costuming. This unit is in very good condition, having been tested to ensure both the movement and light are fully functional, though it does not include its original box. It serves as a perfect standalone centerpiece or as a companion to the matching caroler girl for a complete Victorian street scene display.
This item is vintage, over 35 years old. While it appears to be in very 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.
