The Jolly Drumming Elephant Mambo

Mambo plays the Tom Tom drums and cymbols with the drumsticks in his hands (feet?).  The sound can change based on what is "hit" by moving drumset towards or away from Charlie.  He also plays the Bass Drum with his right foot and the hit hat with his left foot.  Together it all makes a nice rythmic beat to which Mambo moves his elephant trunk from side to side to ring the bell on the end.  If that is not enough, his eyes light up as well.

Note-worthy (what people are saying about me)

This toy's real name on the box is: The Jolly Drumming Elephant Mambo
with Drums - Cymbals & Bell, Battery Powered with Lighted Eyes. This is an early version of a toy that offered many variations. We have most of the variations and will add all soon.
