Original Mr Blobby outfit for sale on eBay — sparking bidding war among fans
AN original Mr Blobby outfit is up for sale on eBay — sparking a bidding war among fans of the 1990s comedy character.
The bloated rubber outfit covered in pink with yellow spots has already drawn bids of more than £8,000.
It was made for an overseas production of Noel’s House Party that was never broadcast.
Kids’ favourite Mr Blobby shot to fame on Noel Edmonds’ BBC show — making surprise entrances and causing chaos.
Blobby even had a Christmas No1 with a self-titled song.
The seller, in Hertfordshire, said the overseas show was cancelled before the outfit could be delivered “and neither the broadcaster or the BBC’s production team wanted it”.
The seller ultimately acquired the 25- year-old costume.
It is made of foam rubber with a shoulder support.
It has a cracked eye, its arms need reattaching, and its bow tie is loose.
The trademarked outfit is subject to copyright and only for personal home display use.
The bidding ends on Thursday.
