When I was little, sometime around 1990-1993, I got one of my favorite toys for Christmas- a stuffed reindeer whose name was not Rudolph to me, but Moose. He looked more like a moose!
And Moose was really cool too. He had this really dopey expression on his face with a wide smile sewn on with black thread, plastic half-opened eyes, and antlers that drooped rather than stood up straight. They also had a specific shape to them... kind of clover-like. Moose's face was very round, but his body was kind of square, and his feet were more triangular, with rounded tips.
Moose's most identifiable feature was his glowing red nose and his ability to play the song Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer when you squeezed his tail, which had a red musical note embroidered on it. When I was little though, we had a horrible electrical storm which was setting him off and freaking out my little toddler mind, so instead of just taking out the batteries, my very smart parents took wire cutters and cut the mechanism out entirely. So I honestly couldn't tell you about what his song really sounded like, just that I only have very vague memories of him working.
His battery pack, actually, was a zipper on the bottom of his belly, and I used to hide money in there when I was a teenager.
Does this guy sound familiar to anyone out there? I'd really like to track down who he is because I'm having a conversation with someone who might or might not have had the same "Moose." He's a very special toy to me so I still have him, just that I don't have access to him at the moment and can't grab a picture.
