vintage wooden Bimbo doll

[vanishedarizona]

Hi. I'm selling my vintage wooden jointed Bimbo doll on eBay. He's all original and the price is VERY low, at only $32. He's listed as item #5644923917. I know he's worth a great deal more, but what the heck. This way someone who will love him and give him a good home will be able to afford him :-) That's why I wanted to let you guys know about him. If anyone would really appreciate how great he is, it's you!

There are lots of pics on the auction, but I'll tell you a little about him. I saw the photos of the Betty on the Memorabilia forum. She's in green and un-strung. My Bimbo looks like a mate for her, same kind of construction: wooden body/composition head. He's also green and black, with the red Bimbo sticker on his chest. So, there you have it. Merry Christmas!:D

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks he's great! Thanks. :D

I hope you sell him to a good home!

Me too, but I apologize! I see now that I didn't do this properly and wasn't supposed to mention the eBay thing. So sorry. Anyway, yes, I really do hope he ends up with someone who will take good care of him and really enjoy him. It's funny how some inanimate objects actually take on a kind of life of their own. It may sound crazy, but it's like they soak up the love that's been bestowed on them through the years. Kind of like the Velveteen Rabbit. They just make you feel good to be around them. So, I wish him well :)
