This listing is for a fully functional vintage BATTERY OPERATED DANCING MERRY CHIMP w/box as shown. This is not a reproduction toy. It is in excellent - mint condition. Colors are clear & bright. Clothing, litho, tin & plastic parts are extremely nice. The toy functions as follows: Turn the switch on and she starts moving her body in a constant up & down motion. Push the yellow key and she rocks her head and then shows her teeth and chatters/screeches loudly. Push the blue ...key and she sways sideways. Push the orange key and she flaps her ears and her eyes bulge. Push the brown key and she claps her hands. Works perfectly! This is a great toy allowing you to interact with it.
