Vintage Hungerford Plastic Corporation Vinyl 1958 Linus Plastic Doll, Peanuts Comic Strip Character Figure, Cartoon Collectible

This would be a great addition to a Linus or Peanuts Comic Strip collection or just a sweet childhood remembrance. This listing is for a 1961 vintage Hungerford Plastic Corporation vinyl 1958 Linus plastic doll, which was part of the Peanuts comic strip. According to Collectpeanuts.com "The Hungerford Plastic Corporation started in 1946. They are most remembered for their plastic dolls for a wide range of 1950's and 60's cartoon characters including Disney dolls, Harvey-toons and Rocky and Bullwinkle. The first line-up of about 7″-8″ dolls were introduced in 1958 which included Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy and Snoopy. Following the initial success, they were released in a slightly larger size, around 9″-10″ tall, in 1961. This also saw the addition of baby Sally, Schroeder with his piano and Pigpen to the line-up. The dolls came in a clear, plastic bag with a yellow header on top featuring a comic strip on each side. The 1958 versus 1961 versions of Lucy and Linus are easy to differentiate. In 1958, Lucy has a red beanie and no accents on her dress. Her hat turns yellow and her dress gets two red lines for the 1961 release. Linus does not have buying shirt stripes and his hair is a solid mass of color in 1958. However, in 1961, he gets his signature shirt horizontal stripes and his whispy-line type hair."

This Peanuts cartoon collectible character figure is about 7" tall. It is in good vintage condition, but there are missing bit of paint and stray marks on the figurine and he is missing his blanket (please see photos).
