[This puppet could've tied into Sunday schools, since 1] F. Rogers was a Christian Clergyman, I think, + 2] the "feel good about you + others" message of Rogers' TV show was well liked by Sunday school teachers.<br /><br /> The puppet was all vinyl + didn't have a movable neck. maybe it had a cloth lining.<br /> The body of the Mr. R puppet was maybe dark blue.<br /> This puppet-Rogers' face was the color of Rogers' real face. The puppet's hair was [painted black], + was just a vinyl/plastic mold of hair.<br /> Puppet-Rogers'/ Rogers-the-puppet's face had sort of a stern, or serious + kind-of-bored, expression on it. Puppet-Roger's face looked kind of like James Garner's face, in the 1960s, TV show, Maverick.<br /> Sorry about the long post, but I wanted to share the data about the puppet that I saw. Cheers. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-28347232805725263442018-09-19T22:48:16.014-04:002018-09-19T22:48:16.014-04:00Hours of fun pushing a trolley... yeah, that sound...Hours of fun pushing a trolley... yeah, that sounds like a hard sell. What I would have killed for at the time was the diorama of Mr. Roger's neighborhood and various vehicles that is shown in the credits sequence.
