Froggy the Gremlin—Pushing 75!

M Y   C O L L E C T I O N — Froggy the Gremlin first "appeared" in 1944 in the Buster Brown Gang, a radio show by "Smiling Ed McConnell," and went on to TV fame starting in 1950 with the same host. Today, my Rempel produced 5-inch Froggy spends his retirement years hanging out, literally, on a wall, with all of my other collectible creatures, including Wishnik trolls, antique dolls of all sorts, puppets et al. Though somewhat different in appearance than in the following link, my Froggy is stamped Rempel, 1948, and is thus pretty early in the run. Update: The Froggy I was looking at on the website was the larger 9-inch version. The 5-inch version looks exactly like mine. Yippee, lol!
