Marx Yeti



Quoting Ozzie's Robots (and stealing their photo):

"Made in 1963 the Marx Abominable snowman AKA Yeti is one of the Staples of both battery toy & monster toy collectors. Great action include walking, stopping , raising arms & letting out a piercing screech ! Very amusing !!"

It's one of the first depictions of yeti being white-furred, three years after the 1961 Bugs Bunny cartoon and a year before the "Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer" holiday special.

There's video footage online of this rare, collectible toy in action!
