casted a real chimpanzee From Howdy Dowdy, the very famous children show of 1947 which named Zippy, in the 50’s the Rushton Toys Co produced a chimpanzee plush called Zippy Zip that became pretty quickly very popular among children.
At the time the plush animal was reputed to be very expensive so in the mid 50’s early 60’s one toys maker which is believed to be Beloved Toys Co, manufactured a Zippy Zip look-alike named Mr. Bim also quickly becoming popular.
Recognizable by the banana in his right hand, although his head is a little unsteady, Mr. Bim is in good condition. His fur is soft and intact.
His face and big hands are made of rubber. His white shoes are of soft plastic.
