This is super cool! I noticed one listed on liveauctioneers about a month ago.

This one sold for $475 + 18% buyer's premium on 4/12. I wonder if it's the same one.

These days this toy would be banned for being racist! Stereotyping like this just isn't allowed anymore!

I agree but, I think we have gone way overboard on this "socially correct" "politically correct" stuff. It's history and probably wasn't designed to be "mean", just "cute and entertaining"
