1st edition vintage collectable
The term “Teddy Bear” came into being more than a century ago in 1902, when President Teddy Roosevelt was with a hunting party that captured a bear cub and tied it to a nearby tree. Upon seeing this, he ordered the bear set free.
Hearing of this noble act, a New York store owner wanted to name the toy bears in his store after the President. Thus, he wrote a letter to the President asking permission to name the toy bears “Teddy”. The President gave his consent and from that day on all toy bears are called Teddy bears.
Teddy is 13″ tall and is absolutely gorgeous! Not an ordinary furry plush toy, Teddy is constructed using high quality multi-color faux fur. He’s sporting a sewn bow in maroon, with matching foot pads bearing his name and 100th Anniversary sewn in gold thread. Teddy talks, reciting the story of how he came into being. Requires 3 AA batteries, which are included! See video below.
Teddy is still sitting on the original pedestal box he came in. He has all tags, including story card and golden embossed medallion. The pedestal box measures 9″ x 11 3/4″. This is a limited edition collectable sure to increase in value!

1999 Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura 12” Action Figure in box
Year: 1999
Manufacturer: Formative Intl. Co. Ltd.
Condition: Mint condition figure
First edition vintage collectable
Who would ever think a Governor from Minnesota would have his own action figure? California’s Governor maybe, but Minnesota? When your previous career was as a professional wrestler and movie actor, anything is possible, right Arnold? Jessie had a role in the 1987 Schwarzenegger movie Predator, before serving as Minnesota’s 38th Governor from 1999 to 2003.
This is a unique collectable and probably helped get Jesse elected. The Ventura action figure was sold to help raise money and awareness of the candidate during the election. The quality is amazing, with a good likeness of Ventura, wearing a black suite, white shirt and tie and is fully articulated. He’s never been removed from his box except to photograph.
The box is in near mint condition and measures 13” x 6 1/2” x 3”. The box is a window design which opens up to a big picture and logo of Jesse.

1970 Talking Crissy Pull String Doll
Year: 1970
Manufacturer: Ideal Toy Corporation
Condition: Good condition
First edition vintage collectable
Some girls loved Barbie, but just as popular in the 1970’s was the Crissy doll. The Crissy doll was made by Ideal Toy Corporation from 1969 to 1974. She was wildly popular because of her unique ability to “grow hair” with a push of a button on her tummy, and shorten it with a twist of a knob located on her back. Crissy was designed to be much larger than Barbie, too, at 18” tall. This Crissy is wering her original green flower dress. This model was made in 1970. The date on her head is 1969, which is the date on all Crissy heads from 1969 to 1972.
This Crissy does not come with her wardrobe. See our other Crissy doll if you want the wardrobe.
Crissy says 12 phrases randomly when her string is pulled. The voice works but is not perfect. See the video below to hear the voice.
“Hi, I’m Crissy!”
“Let’s have a party.”
“Brush my hair please.”
“Please dry my hair.”
“Make my hair short.”
“Make my hair long.”
“My hair grows.”
“I love you”.
“I’ve got a secret.”
“I like to dress up.”
“Set my hair please”.
“Velvet talks too.”
