Title: 70's-80's Toy Experts Please Help ID This Little Guy
Post by: ewarnick on December 18, 2012, 05:55:22 PM
Someone out there has to know who this little guy is. He's only 1"tall and has posts on his feet like he would have stood on something for fit into something. He was in a bag with various others figures and pieces mostly Transformers. Thanks!

Thanks for the laugh! I figured it out, he's from the early Transformers before they were known as Transformers.

In that case,, that little figure could be worth quite a bit !! Find out the name and see what they are selling for !!

Here's one verse. I think there were others, depending on which child was being addressed:


OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DOO
I'VE GOT A PERFECT PUZZLE FOR YOU
OOMPA LOOMPA, DOOMPADAH DEE
IF YOU ARE WISE YOU'LL LISTEN ME
WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU GUZZLE DOWN SWEETS
EATING AS MUCH AS AN ELEPHANT EATS
WHAT ARE YOU AT GETTING TERRIBLY FAT
WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL COME OF THAT
I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF IT
OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DAH
IF YOU'RE NOT GREEDY YOU WILL GO FAR
YOU WILL LIVE IN HAPPINESS TOO
LIKE THE OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DO
DOOMPADEE DOO
