The Horseman Ventriloquist's
Doll featuring the likeness of Moe Howard was a big hit with the kids
in the early 80's. This doll was made back around the same time as the
old "Willie Talk" doll that was also a huge success. These
dolls are a bit strange to look at, but make great collector's items.
This was one of the many great items introduced in the Norman Maurer
Productions days of Stooges Merchandising. A
doll in mint condition with the original box and instruction sheet has
gone for around $200 + on the auctions. Typically, you don't find the
box, and the doll is rarely in mint. I've seen many dolls like this
one, in great shape, just missing the box sell for around $60 to $100
bucks.
