BEAR WITH ME WHILE I TALK ABOUT YOGI...
You may recall me mentioning recently about sometimes having to settle for similar types of items when trying to re-acquire toys from childhood, rather than exact duplicates which may be difficult or impossible to locate. When I was around 3 or 4 (maybe 5), among the Yogi Bear items I owned were the following three: a Hallowe'en mask, a pair of slippers, and an inflatable 'Punch' Yogi. (Luckily, I did manage to replace a Marx Toys Yogi on a scooter and walking toy I'd also owned.)
The first was a shaped (as opposed to flat) papier mache (though it felt like cardboard) mask, the second, a pair of traditional slippers with Yogi's head (not a flat picture, but an actual 3D head) on the top front of each slipper, and the last was an inflatable for the purpose of punching, then watching it bounce back up. (You had to put sand in the base to give it weight.)
Anyway, although I was able to obtain exact replacements for the other Yogi merchandise of my youth, those three have so far proved elusive, so I've contented myself with similar types of each item. A while back I managed to get a modern plastic mask, and recently a modern pair of slippers (which actually fit me), and today I received an inflatable 'Bop Bag' to complete the trio. So even if I don't have doppelganger replacements, I do have the same sort of items, which are better than hee-haw!
Anyway, thought you might like to see them, so here's one new pic of the inflatable and slippers, plus 'some I made earlier' of the mask. I won't give up on replacing my originals one day, but should it never happen, I can enjoy a measure of satisfaction from having the same type of items I had as a kid, so I'm a happy chappie. Right, I'm just off to punch the bejabbers out of Bop Bag Yogi. Oh, what fun.
