DESCRIPTION/CONDITION:
MOUTH FUNCTION: The mouth DOES WORK as it should - Pull the string out the back of the neck (SEE PHOTOS) and the mouth opens, release the string and the mouth closes. (SEE VIDEO)

This Slappy and clothing is all original vintage and as with anything over 20 years old will show wear from age, handling, use, display and storage - (SEE PHOTOS)
His head/hair look really nice - Not perfect (Nothing previously used/handled is perfect) but not all scratched up SEE PHOTOS)

Face and hands in nice condition but do show the usual wear from age, handling, use and storage. There is a mark on his right hand (SEE PHOTOS)

If you have any questions, ASK them before you buy so the item you receive is the item you are expecting! I am happy to answer any questions, provide additional photos, whatever I can to help you know what you are buying.
Unlike most eBay sellers I do not use the generic 'say nothing' AI description. I take the time to accurately describe the actual item in the photos. I post many photos from different angles. I cannot force you but, it is your responsibility to view those photos and read the description so you know what you are buying. I am also not responsible if you do not read the listing and make your own assumptions.
SOLD AS "NO RETURNS"
I CANNOT BE MORE HONEST THAN THAT!
================================
SHIPPING
NOTE: The head will be wrapped in bubble wrap and supported within the box so it cannot move. Most sellers do not care about that. We do! The box will be approx 22x14x10. If you feel the shipping is expensive, it is. Contact the USPS, FedEx or UPS and ask them how much they charge for a box that size from 34770 to you. We do not profit from shipping. Shipping is based on box size, weight and distance. Larger box costs more to ship.
STANDARD SHIPPING (TO CONTINENTAL 48 STATES ONLY) WILL BE USPS GROUND or UPS GROUND or FEDEX GROUND (My Choice)
Shipping includes full value insurance. Most sellers do not bother paying the additional $5-$10 to properly insure the package for full value above the standard free $100 coverage. Then, if there is damage of loss, you have to file a claim to get the $100 from the shipper (who frequently decline claims if the item, in their opinion, was not packed properly), then you will need to get eBay involved to receive money refunded from the seller. Sounds like fun! Signature may be required
You must have a continental US residential or commercial address for UPS or FedEx shipping. PO Box addresses will be shipped USPS Ground
If your address is a AK, HI, PR, Guam, VI or APO please write BEFORE purchasing for an accurate USPS quote.
USPS PRIORITY MAIL: If you prefer USPS Priority Mail please write before offering or purchasing as I cannot modify shipping options after an offer or purchase. Be aware that USPS Priority is no longer a 2-3 days delivery is now estimated by the USPS as 3-8 days delivery (if you are lucky) UPS & FedEx Ground still delivers within 4-5 days coast to coast and usually for less than USPS Priority Mail.
HANDLING TIME: This item will be shipped within Two (2) Business Days after receipt of clear payment. If payment is received on Thursday or Friday - it will be shipped the following week.
DELIVERY DATE: This is an eBay generated date. It is NOT stated or guaranteed by the seller or the shipping service. It is an eBay ESTIMATE based on a 'Best Case' scenario. It does not take into consideration Time of Year (Holidays), Shippers Seasonal workload, Natural Disasters (Hurricanes, Wild Fires, Volcanic Eruptions, etc) or even a sneak attack by aliens from Mars. It is an ESTIMATE! It is NOT a set in stone, guaranteed delivery date and should not be considered the definite ‘WILL ARRIVE BY’ date.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING BY EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING SERVICE – For More Information Please write BEFORE purchasing
NOTE: Due to past experience
where some people require tracking confirmation to acknowledge they have
received every item shipped, I will no longer combine items.
EVERY ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITH ITS OWN
TRACKING NUMBER TO CONFIRM DELIVERY.
Thank You for your understanding.
================================
QUALITY PACKING / WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT:
(1) WE PACK PROFESSIONALLY AND WITH CARE!
(2) We only use NEW, unused boxes
(3) We only use NEW store bought packing material
(4) We DO NOT re-use boxes from someone’s garbage
(5) We DO NOT use airpacks
(6) We DO NOT use crumpled newspaper from someone's garbage as filler
(7) We tape ALL seems of the box, not just one strip of tape down the center on each side
Unrealistically Cheap or Free Shipping usually gets your item crammed into a tiny box or tossed into an empty box, unwrapped with little or no packing material If you have bought on eBay you know what I am saying is true!
IT IS YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY. REMEMBER, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!
=========================NO RETURNS:
Due to the reason for the sale, to help a family pay expenses, and due to the fragile nature of this item, it is sold as NO RETURNS - You agree to those terms upon purchase.
This item will be shipped WITH full insurance
If it arrives damaged or broken, please contact UPS or USPS as it was shipped with insurance and the shipper is responsible for any damage that occurs while they have the package.
