Since he first appeared in The HUCKLEBERRY HOUND Show back in the late '50s, YOGI BEAR has been present on shop shelves in some form of merchandise in every decade right up to the present. That's quite an achievement when you think about it. I now have more items of '60s merchandise than I had back then, and I'm always on the lookout to add to my collection. Three items I had in the '60s yet elude me, those being a pair of Yogi slippers, a Hallowe'en mask, and an inflatable 'Punch' Yogi. Maybe one day, eh? (Update: Now got the mask.)
In the meantime, here's a couple of items I acquired only recently - a Yogi toothbrush holder from the '60s, and a Yogi bubble bath from the mid-'90s. That bear's going to take over the world someday - trust me.
