Interesting catch Fernando

Nice find! I actually had this guy when I was little. Played with him a lot! Clean forgot it though, I'm sure I still have him somewhere.

Is it the famous saltwater crocodile? A real jewel, Fernando. As soon as possible I will add it om TAI.

What a great, rare find

Congratulations, dear Fernando

What is the year of release? I can't read it on the picture.

Greart find Fernando, congratulation

It is a 1979 piece. I put it in the right place in Toy Animal Info: it is NOT a bean bag toy, since it's completely hollow. And look at the logo on its belly: it is NOT the logo we see since Fred Kurt's passing: it is the FORMER logo. Anyway, I have seen the 2009 Bean Bag Croc back in 2010 and it didn't look like that.
I tried to take it off the Bean Bag series on TAI, but the 1979 page that I created disappeared also. Can anyone take it off the 2009 series, please? It does not belong there and I don't know how to take it off the 2009 series without making everything disappear...

Mistake is mine. I was not able of seeing the year marked om it amd I linked it to the crocodile already listed. I will fix it as soon as I have the chance. It is my responsibility to take care of my family members.

That's OK. If I'm a specialist of Imperial, I am still a beginner in website editing... But you know, Roger, next time, look at the logo: it is always an excellent clue of the era of the release of an Imperial toy. Imperial changed its logo after Fred Kurt's passing, and I edited pictures of logos of the time Kurt lived and the time since his death. You will see that they are very different.
