Shmoo Vinyl Figure Description:
Who wants to schmooze with Shmoo? Shmoo who? Well, in 1948, Al Capp introduced the Shmoo in his popular Li'l Abner strip and it truly took the nation by storm. The Shmoo was a lovable tub of glub whose bewhiskered smile was as endearing as his button eyes. The Shmoo bred with a speed that would put rabbits to shame, consumed essentially nothing, and provided almost everything that humankind could wish for. Packaged in a full-color window box and sporting a bright red ribbon, this 8-inch tall cutie will capture the hearts of new and old fans alike. Better get one for yourself, don't you think? Besides producing both milk and eggs, its meat was pork when roasted, chicken when fried, and steak when broiled. During its heyday, the Shmoo inspired one of the first true licensed-product bonanzas, appearing as a cornucopia of products that spawned nearly as fast as the Shmoos themselves.

Who is Shmoo? 7/28/2006
Is he a blob, a magical creature, or perhaps delicious? The Shmoo Vinyl Figure is itself not especially tasty, being plastic and all, but the characters on which it's based are quite tasty. First appearing in Li'l Abner comic strips, this supposedly "dangerous" creature is seen as a threat to civilization, and apparently they've existed throughout time-- even Fred and Barney appeared with them on The Flintstones. So why do you need a Shmoo? It's adorable, and a classic comics character from the depths of Americana. Standing 8-inches tall, this boxed white oddball can be yours!
