Dr.Dollz Motionettes

Here are a few pictures of the Gemmy Industrial Building located at; 12 Hung To Rd., Kwun Tong, Hong Kong. Looks like a nice place to make .25 cents an hour, if your lucky.

1998 Skull Plaque by Gemmy.

From 1998,Gemmy, Grim Reaper Playing the Organ. Sings Great Balls of Fire, and its mouth moves with the words. The last picture is a 1995 unit with an orange cape instead of purple.

I bought this Looney Tunes, Skiing Tazmanian Devil as-is at a resale shop for $10, never having seen one in person before. It was made by Matrix Industries in 1997. It was broken, very dirty and didn’t even work. I opened it up and easily fixed the moving arms which slipped out of its bracket. Looking back on it, I paid to much. Its missing googles, and its Santa hat. The Christmas present in the mouth was so smashed I removed it. One of the ski poles was missing, so I removed the other ski pole. Not sure just what I’m gonna do with this yet. (The last 2 pictures are NOT mine, used to show what my motionette should look like).

This is one of my favorite Christmas motionettes. From 1994 by Telco. Santa is 18″ high, the grandfather clock (which actually works) stands 21″ high. It has a cassette tape player at the base of the back of the clock. Play the tape and you’ll hear Santa reading the Night Before Christmas. This is some of Telcos best work.

Here I have a large Santa’s Best, Santa Riding a Reindeer from 1997. This rocks on a stationary base and there is no sound thank goodness. Got it for $30, the original price was $100.

Sleeping Mrs.Claus by Telco. From 1994. Measures 23″ by 10″ high. The unit includes slippers and a calander like the 1992 Sleeping Santa motionette. She comes in a red box, Santa comes in a blue box. Paid $35 for her and $4 for Santa. You can get motionettes cheap, as long as you don't buy them off Ebay. Ebay/motionette prices are laughable at best.

Mrs Claus/Caroler by Holiday Time/Telco. 24″ tall from 1997.

Here are 5 other Telco Windup motionettes that I’m aware of. These are not my figures. *These are not my pictures*

Here we have motionette like figure from Smile Inc. I say motionette like because it doesn't actually move, just like several Telcos with this same size and look. This unit looks like a Telco and probably came from the same factory, but that's another story. The on/off-volume control also works as well as a Telco of this style, NOT good. These switches short out 98% of the time, junk. Its from 1990, but that's no excuse.

Some people have huge collections of these Dancing Hamsters by Gemmy. This is the only one I own. This is from 2004. The original cost for these Hamster were usually 9.99 on the average new. I think I paid $3.00 for it.

This is a 24″ Holiday Creations, Mrs. Santa Claus, made in  1995. I got a good deal on this cause the box was damaged.

1992 Telco Sleeping Santa In Bed. Comes with boots and a calendar. Inline on/off switch, separate volume control. This is a bigger unit then the 1995 figure. 23″ by 10″ high. This is another Telco I bought for $4.

Telco Sleeping Santa Claus. This is the 1995 model. 18′ long, 8′ high, No boots with this motionette like there were for the 1992 figure. On/off switch in cord. Volume control on unit under the bed. The original Kmart price was $49.99, I got it for $4.

This is a 1992 Telco Christmas motionette booklet included with my Sleeping Mrs. Claus Motionette. Theres so much I don’t have, its unbelievable.

A 22″ tall Winnie The Pooh Telco motionette. There are so many used Pooh motionettes, they aren’t as popular in my book.

Anger Management 101. Gemmy chicken that you can choke to make it move and the eyes bug out to, Kinda cool. 2004, 12″ high.
