So I am wanting to restore this glow worm, first off it sings and the music part is inside the stuffed part. There for it can't be washed in the machine.

Seccond the internal part with the batteries had coraded so bad that the inside of the glow worm's white zipper poutch is discolored a bit, if it's from th battery
Acid then it should be cleaned if its not then it's from being old or getting wet in the past.

Third where do I get a new light bulb?

Can I try maybe useing the aposter head on the carpet cleaner?
I can use a spray bottle to better controle where I am mysting water and use
The hose to suck up the water?
I would like to use oxy clean if possable.

This one I can wash in the machine in a pillow case, but can I oxyclean this beacuse of the flocking? What would be best to use for her?

Would you take a tooth brush to the face and softly wash?

The trick with eBay price checks is to make sure you look at sold or completed listings- what the item actually sold for versus what current auctions are listed at.  Based on that, the Care Bear cub would be more like $25 and the glo-worm went anywhere from $5 to $45 with one outlier that did sell for $100.

All in all, I think you have 2 pretty good toys there if you find the right buyers!

100% with Aadra. Dont look at BIN prices on ebay - those are what sellers want not necessarily what someone wants to spend. Ended auctions or successfully ended BINs are a much more accurate guide to price.

Sounds like you have a couple of great finds and I am sure you will find happy homes for them at the prices Aadra has mentioned.
