(Sorry, out of stock...SOLD for $65.00) Mikhail Gorbachev "Pet Hates" Dog Chew Toy, from Spitting Image. Wow!! From 1984 comes a totally unique piece of pop culture history. The early 1980's "Spitting Image" TV show in the UK skewered popular and unpopular politicos and celebrities with their great caricature puppets and dark humor, and spawned a few toys, this being one: the President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, immortalized as a rubber dog-chew toy. Yes, that's right, gang. He even has a little red hammer-and-sickle emblazoned on his balding pate. This is UNOPENED, GEM-MINT CONDITION, RUBBER STILL SOFT AND PLIABLE, NO FADING. A truly great piece and a hard-to-find slice of the era of "glasnost" and "perestroika"...since most of these ended up in the slobbering, gnawing mouths of dogs, covered in bite marks and drool. Don't let this get into someone else's collection!! Out of stock.
