Lurky Pillow

I found it! I don't remember where we got this, I think it was during the first year in Baltimore at some flea market or something... I was way too young to remember. But, I dug him out of storage where he'd been long forgotten, and here he is!

The back of the pillow is his back. He's horribly dirty from years of being clutched to while watching tv as a kid. I have no idea if he's a total custom job or not. There's no tag, though there's the tiniest indication that there was once a tag.

What's funny is that my dad does a great Lurky impression. Used to crack me up all the time as a little kid. So the pillow was as much for him as it was me.

They were fabric panels in sheets you would buy, and sew together yourself! You got them at craft/fabric stores.

They had sprites, Rainbow, Starlite, and a few others.

cute find...I never had those. I had my Twink!

I have seen all the fabric craft sheets on ebay recently...I think last night was most recent. I know I saw Rainbow and Twink.

Huh. I was looking around there today and didn't see any. Maybe I didn't look hard enough?

*sigh* of course there wouldn't be any on there when someone actually wanted them... but they do appear often. I saw them a lot when I was trying to find a MIB new version RB doll over a two week period. I don't think I ever saw a Lurky one, but there were a lot of Rainbow Brite ones, and a few Twink ones as well. I double-checked for ya and can't find any right now. They aren't so rare, so I'd keep an eye out

Thanks, I'll do that ^_^ I bought other stuff in the search for them, so.. Yeah. I realized how sparse my collection of RB stuff was, so I figured I might as well. When I saw the little purse I couldn't help myself.

Yeah you'll soon get one. I love some of the stuff I found in searching... I'd love to get my hands on that custom Stormy doll... sadly I know I need to have money for other things and can't afford to spend what I'm getting right now on too much stuff for me

That pillow is awesome... god there is some really cool, RB stuff out there!

I did see a few pannels of Rainbow brink and twink a week ago on ebay, though i decided against it as there was a bit there and im busy collecting other old RB stuff...haha
