It's Orinoco and he's missing his big brown floppy hat. I've got a complete one
staring at
me from the
bookshelf above my desk as I write, with Wellington (same maker) beside him. The
voice
boxes on the
Burbank toys seemed to be defective but I've not had the courage to perform
surgery to
repair them [I
swoon at the sight of stuffing ;-) ]. Mine worked for a few days when I first
bought them
circa 1985 -
short phrases like "Womble up your toys when you're finished playing!", "We
Wombles are
really very
friendly", "We Womble by night and we Womble by day."

Hello everyone!!<BR>
<BR>
Can anyone please help me identify my Womble?<BR>
All he is wearing is a red neck scarf, he's about 14 inch tall. Grey <BR>
body hair, brown hands, inside ears, and face.<BR>
He has a pulley on his left side, but unfortunately no longer <BR>
talks/sings. <BR>
His label says manufactured by Burbank toys in England.<BR>
Pile fabric conforms to B.S 4569 for protection of voice box surface <BR>
wash only. Eyes plastic white and brown, black nose.<BR>
Look forward to hearing from anyone with info.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you <BR>
<BR>
