YONEZAWA BLUSHING WILLY BATTERY OPERATED FULLY FUNCTIONAL, POURING MODEL WithBOX

  

TO INCLUDE THE ACTUAL POURING OR TRANSFERAL OF LIQUID FROM THE TINY HAND HELD BOTTLE TO THE MARTINI GLASS! L U I O B.

= L IGHTLY U SED I N. O RIGINA L B OX. I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES OR SO. HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY.

95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE, VINTAGE FULLY OPERATIONAL "BLUSHING WILLY" IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE! AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE.

THE BASE STILL HAS ALL 8 ORIGINAL STAPLES HOLDING IT TOGETHER A S DOES THE ORIGINAL LID/COVER. THE LID DOES SHOW A FAIR AMOUNT OF WEAR AS THIS HAS BEEN STASHED AMONGST A TOWER OF BOXES FOR DECADES NOW, THE COPY IS STILL CLEAR (AS PICTURED). YOU DO HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SHELF RASHING ON THE CORNERS OF THIS BOX, BUT IT IS IN OVERALL VERY PRESENTIABLE SHAPE/CONDITION. THIS "BLUSHING WILLY" HAS A BASE OF PRESSED TIN (OR METAL) AND HAS A MILKY COLORED TRANSLUCENT HEAD WHICH IS REQUIRED AS THIS IS THE "BLUSHING" PART OF THIS MODEL.

THE BASE OR WILLY'S FEET ARE PLASTIC AS HEREIN LIES THE TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES. TO ENJOY THIS MODEL, YOU FIRST MUST UNPACK IT GINGERLY AND THEN REMOVE THE BATTERY CASES LID AND PLACE IN TWO (2) SIZE "D" BATTERIES AS SO INDICATED (THESE BATTERIES ARE NOT INCLUDED). NEXT YOU PLACE THIS ON ANY FIRM LEVEL SURFACE. DEPENDING ON WHERE ITS CYCLE IS, WHEN THE MARTINI GLASS IS AT ITS LOWEST POINT, YOU ADD (OR POUR) SOME LIQUID (WATER) INTO THE LOWERED MARTINI GLASS.... THIS TAKES A LITTLE TRIAL & ERROR TO GET THE LEVELS CORRECT.

WITH THIS ALL DONE, YOU NOW SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE SHOW..... WILLY WILL RAISE HIS RIGHT ARM POURING THE CONTENTS OUT OF THE TINY BOTTLE AND INTO THE MARTINI GLASS..... HE'LL THEN LOWER HIS RIGHT ARM BACK INTO ITS STARTING POSITION. NEXT HE'LL RAISE HIS LEFT ARM UP LIFTING THE MARTINI GLASS TO HIS MOUTH...

IT LOOKS LIKE HE'LL DRINK IT, BUT CLEVERLY, THERE IS A RUBBER HOSE THAT RUNS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE MARTINI GLASS DOWN HIS LEFT ARM, ACROSS HIS BACK AND THEN UP HIS RIGHT INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE BOTTLE. THE LIQUID IS CLEVERLY RECYCLED AND PERPETUAL! DURING THIS POURING CYCLE, WILLY'S EYES ARE LOOKING AROUND... AND HIS HAIR ON TOP OF HIS HEAD MOVES AROUND SLIGHTLY...

SORT OF LIKE A GESTURE WITH A SMIRK! JUST PRIOR TO WILLY LOWERING HIS LEFT ARM (AFTER HE GETS A TASTE OF THE FIREWATER) HIS FACE "BLUSHES" (OR LIGHTS UP), HIS EYES SPIN WILDLY ALL AROUND AND THE HAIR ON HIS SCALP STANDS ON END!! ALL THE WHILE, WILLY IS LOWERING THE MARTINI GLASS...

STARTING THE CYCLE ALL OVER ONCE MORE. TH IS MODEL BROUGHT BACK SO MANY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES WHEN I JUST TESTED IT! THEN AS NOW, IT'S A REALLY COOL MODEL TO WATCH. WILLY'S BODY HAS NO RUS T, DIMPLES OR CREASES. HIS HAIR IS IN ORIGINAL SHAPE AND HAS NOT DISCOLORED. YOU HAVE NO CRACKS ON THE HANDS OF FACE OR HEAD. THE VEST IS 100% ORIGINAL AND STILL VERY WELL ATTACHED TO THE TIN BODY, YOU DO HAVE A SLIGHT SHOWING OF SOME GLUE WHICH LOOKS LIKE THIS BLEED THROUGH ON THE REAR OF WILLY'S VEST... VERY SMALL AND MINER, BUT APPARENT. THE FEET ARE PLASTIC AND SHOW NO WEAR OR CRACKS ANYWHERE. UNDER THE FEET IS THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. THIS HAS NO CORROSION OR RUST ANYWHERE ON THE CONTACTS. THE BATTERY COMPARTMENTS DOOR COMES OFF ONCE YOU SLIDE THE LOCKING TAB, THIS IS HOW THIS IS DESIGNED TO WORK AND WORKS PERFECTLY. THE "ON/OFF" SWITCH IS LOCATED ON THE REAR OF THE LEGS AND WORKS WELL. I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING IT AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF.

I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THEY BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
