Gemmy - Dancing Valentine Squirrel Couple (prototype)

Yes, I bought this.
After replacing a couple corroded boards (among other things), these squirrels (ascertained by the conjoined tails) take turns dancing to the Rascals' "Good Lovin.'"
See photos for more details.
By Gemmy Industries, 2003.
Planned for the 2004 Valentine's Day series.

That’s so weird, I kinda wish this was released

[@Dier-Decor]

I really like this good thing it went to a good collector

[@Snowysanimatronics]

Woah. Didn’t expect you to get this, that’s so cool!!

[@Imkseasonal]

Woah, I’m glad these went to a good home! I was wondering who got these lol

[@H.C.AReviews]

Thats pretty neat dude! Love your content.

[@ENTMan98]

Thank you!

[@Gemmygod]

Never thought I'd see the day where you of all collectors would get a prototype, but I'm glad this one went to you. Hope you get more prototypes in the future.

[@ENTMan98]

Thank you!

[@Gemmygod]

No problem.

Nice. Main board and EPROM type also looks pretty much exactly like the one the PBC Prototype FlutterBear I own uses.

[@ChristopherS768]

Yeah it’s the same module your bear uses

@@ChristopherS768 I figured as much.

Congrats on getting these guys!

Awesome job restoring that.

Thanks!

This is cute but I can tell why it was never mass produced. There's a girl squirrel and a guy squirrel but the entire song is sung by men.
Don't Go Breaking My Heart would have been a better choice but there's already a million ones out there that sing that, so it would have been too generic.

[@ringthegemmycollector]

I love it

[@codyryan9789]

I believe there might have been an interactive bongo frog made at some point with the Don't Go Breaking My Heart audio

[@SlimothyJimothy]

The DH Valentines Performance has the same recording

[@TheLiqui]

How nerve-wracking was the thought of audio ripping an emprom-based prototype at first?

[@ENTMan98]

Luckily it uses a flash ROM, so I wasn't too worried.

[@ChristopherS768]

What’s up with the sound clip at the end of the video?

[@mrhenry5488]

I was going to ask the same thing. Might've been a glitch that occurred while he was first repairing the couple to where they played that instead.

[@ENTMan98]

Just an Easter egg of some unused ROM data.

@@ENTMan98 That's what I thought. I wonder how that happened...
