    I had one of these when I was a kid. They're ultra rare... if you get one... count yourself very lucky.

    I don't mean to burst your bubble, but believe me mate... you're chances are extremely slim. I have been looking for one for years and years, with not even a hint even coming close.

    They were originally released circa '83 and for a couple years they were available. I had one and stupidly brought it into school and it got nicked. Wish I still had it... because they are really rare. In fact, I've never seen one come up on ebay or anywhere... so just take that all into account.

    You would be incredibly lucky to get your hands on one of the originals. If you do get one... please stick up a few photos.:D

    Hey,
    I found a puppet maker who does custom puppets who made me a great Bosco puppet. Quite expensive because it take time. If your interested I can give you their email.

    LOL!!!!!!!!!! €499:eek::eek::eek: That's ridiculous! It would want to come in it's original box and never have been opened for that kind of money... it's in really bad shape for that price.

    :eek:Some poor sucker has actually placed a bid. I'd rather wait, as they do come up... rarely, yes, but they still do come up. A mate found one at a car boot sale for €10... in great nick. Another was up on Ebay, not so long ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34 holly2004


    wow
    thats amazing

    must have a look

    I have a Bosco puppet, have just been informed how rare they are! (I live in Australia now) Did the one on ebay really sell for 499??

    Hi there,

    I didn't... thank god. That was a total rip off. As I said in my previous reply... they are rare but in no way are they that rare to warrant a silly price of €499. There were 2 bids, but suspiciously, the item was withdrawn from the listing before the auction end time... I'm not saying there was anything dodgy, but it is a bit suspect.

    They do pop up occasionally and don't tend to fetch too much

    If you have one, i would love to buy him from you
