Raccoons merchandise?

I loved this show and still do and didn't realize that it was popular enough to get merchandise made (pens, puzzles, toys etc.) Also didn't learn til later that it was a canadian show and that the stuff was sold mainly in Canada making it difficult to find but over the years I've managed to get several Raccoons items off ebay. I especially love the plush toys. Some items I'm still searching for are the sheets, curtains, colorforms and the plush Bert made by Dakin in 1985. Anyone else own any raccoons loot?

Yeah I didn't know it was that popular, either. In the Prism of Zenda episode, one of the bears had a "Bert Raccoon- Superstar" poster in his locker. At the time I was wishing I could get one to put in my locker at school! Maybe I can find one on ebay :)

I loved the show, and being a Canadian the merchandise was readily available! I had a Melissa Plushie, and a few colouring books, and an old record with the "run with us" theme, and some silly songs by the pigs and Cyril Sneer. I don't know what happened to the though.

You had a Melissa plush? Wow. What did it look like or did it come with any clothing? That's cool that you were able to get those because the show was from your country. I wish I could visit Canada and check out the second hand stores. I have a small collection so far, but it's growing.

She had a tight pink sweater on, and the rest was just naked raccoon!

That is cool as I have never seen a melissa plush. I have Lisa and Bert. Do you remember if a Ralph plush was sold?

PS: If you ever run across your raccoons stuff, could I see photos? Thanks,

I might have also had a Ralph now that you mention it. I think they were a pair that either were sold together at a discount shop, or maybe they were won at a fair. Ralph had a tie on I think.
