Description

Bring Home a Piece of History: Vintage 1962 Mattel Larry the Lion "Animal Yacker"! Step back in time and capture the undeniable charm of the 1960s with this rare, fully operational Larry the Lion talking toy from Mattel. A true collector’s item that still speaks its classic phrases! Authentic Vintage Item: Manufactured circa 1962 by Mattel. Fully Operational: The original pull-string mechanism works perfectly, a rare find for a toy of this age. Wonderful Condition: Presents beautifully for display or play, especially considering its 60+ year age. As is expected with items this old, please note the following: Cosmetic: The toy is in wonderful vintage condition, but minor signs of age are present and visible in photos. Maintenance: The plush material is original; minor shedding is expected. The item may benefit from a gentle, professional vintage cleaning or fluffing/reforming upon arrival. A Roaring Success: Larry was one of Mattel's early pull-string talking toys, a significant innovation at the time. A Familiar Voice: The voice mechanism was similar to that used in the famous Chatty Cathy dolls, relying on a simple internal phonograph record and a metal coil. The King's Phrases: When working, Larry could say several phrases, including the classic "ROAR, I'm king of the jungle!" and "I'm so vicious, aren't I?". A Collector's Item: Because of their age and the delicate nature of the internal talking mechanisms, fully operational versions in great condition are considered quite rare and valuable among vintage toy collectors. The Rubber Face: The combination of soft plush fur and a distinctive rubber or vinyl face and nose is a hallmark of many Mattel talking animals from the 1960s. Please examine all high-resolution photos carefully to assess the condition for yourself. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have about this unique piece. Thank you so much for looking in, and please take a moment to explore my other vintage listings!
