Prototype 1987 Telco Halloween GHOST Motionette with SOUND!!!

Description: An Absolutely AMAZING 24" 1987 Telco GHOST with WORKING SOUND BASE. When Telco Launched their First EVER Halloween Motionettes in 1987, the Telco Halloween Catalog shows Clearly "Halloween Action Figures with GHOSTLY SOUND..." But as Any Collector Knows...Sound DID NOT show up on the 24" Telco Halloween Motionettes until 1990. WATCH VIDEO: https://youtube.com/shorts/NdD2Lr5iFNE?si=T5Ihb_wRSc4De4YP I have provided Multiple Pics of the Wooden Sound Base. It looks like something made in a High School Shop Class with Home Electrical Wiring. Massively Over-Engineered. Even the Speaker Holes on the Bottom were individually Hand-Drilled. But it is Unmistakably TELCO CREATIONS. The Sound Created is the EXACT SAME SOUND used by the Telco Ghost "Weirdo Stix" Halloween Safety Light with Sound. For it's rudimentary appearance on the inside, the Outside is Quite Elegant. Sleek Black Finish Wooden Top has a Simply 3-Setting Dial: Motion Only, Motion and Low Sound, Motion and Loud Sound. This is a True Piece of Telco Halloween Motionette HISTORY from the 1st Year of Release. This likely would have been shipped "As Seen" from Taiwan to Telco Creations in 1987 as a "Salesman Sample". Telco would then Decide if Taiwan would Mass-Produce Ghost with Wooden Sound Base. I have seen other True "Salesman Samples" for Telco...and Those were ALL Retail Production Quality. This Heavy Wooden Sound Base is Closer to a TRUE PROTOTYPE in Design. Nothing about this Wooden Sound Base is AT ALL Practical for Assembly Line Production. And this Prototype Base may be The Reason Telco had NO SOUND on the 24" Halloween Motionettes for 3 More Years. The Telco 24" Ghost Moves as he should. Head goes Side-to-Side while One Arm Moves the Lighted Skull in and out. Telco Skull Accessory is Also the Oldest Original Design with more of a Matte Finish and Much Larger Hole to fit atop the Socket. Sheet is in Collector Quality Condition. It does have a few scuffs and marks, but no major damage. Collectors have had Great Success dry cleaning the durable Sheet Material. Everything is 100% Original Telco Creations. I am a Telco Halloween Motionette Collector, Writer and Historian. I do Constant Research that is Peer Reviewed. I also communicate with former Telco Employees. I want you to Know that you get 100% Authentic. Box is on the roughish side, but it is the Original Numbers Matching Telco Item #87602 Box. This is a Real Historical TREASURE. I hope it's the Prize of Your Collection. I ALSO hope you Pass Along its Story to Others. Shipping will be a FLAT RATE to the LOWER 48 STATES ONLY. My Shipping is Next-Level SECURE. I use DOUBLE-WALLED Cardboard Boxes and Variable Thickness High-Tech Sheet Foam packing material both Inside the Telco Box and Inside the Shipping Box. Thanks and ENJOY!!!
