Russell Knott told me that he was responsible for the "rubberhead" walk around of Whittles, and that after some time (although he never mentioned a revised, cuter version) he had them pull it, as it was just scaring the children too much (his words - not mine)!Chris Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759410855891198273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-86428278776113029462009-03-23T06:30:00.000-07:002009-03-23T06:30:00.000-07:00Holy gold panning, Batman!

I have a Whittles statue coinbank sitting here on my desk. However, mostly the Whittles character appeared in print in ads, on ride tickets, on signs, etc.<BR/><BR/>For a bit more info on Whittles, here's a link to a Ghost Town Entertainment website we're developing:<BR/><BR/>http://mysite.verizon.net/resr9mgb/id11.html<BR/><BR/>When the website is fully developed I'll let you know!<BR/><BR/>Diana (Kirchen) Kelly<BR/>(aka first Whittles, first Haunt witch, 2nd Annie Oakley, first Disco DJ, etc.....)Diana K.
