Our seventh misfit toy is kinda zany! Meet Larry Snurgle Danberry, a vinyl squeeze toy with googly eyes. He was made by the novelty company Parksmith Corporation in 1969. Is he a dog's chew toy? A silly party toy? An advertising character toy? I have no clue, but he's one weird toy, that's for sure.
I found Larry in a junk shop. He was on a shelf next to a stack of dirty magazines and Avon bottles. I can't remember how much I paid for him, but he was cheap enough that I wasn't able to pass him up. Anyway, after squeezing Larry and seeing those eyes spin around, he was a no-brainer purchase. I'm not sure what Larry's ice cream cone is laced with but those eyes are just crazy wild!
Watch Larry's eyes spin below. Try not to fall into a trance!
I think Larry has a lot in common with the weird kid that's standing next to Ralphie from A Christmas Story.
All the other misfit toys like Larry and they like to watch his eyes spin. I think he was self-conscious about his spinning eyes at first, but now realizes he can bring some laughter to his fellow misfit toys and that pleases him.
Check back tomorrow for misfit toy #8.
