SET OF ALL FOUR 1964 BEATLES REMCO DOLLS NEAR MINT AND WITH RARE WHITE PLASTIC INSTRUMENTS! (Please read every detail below BEFORE bidding!)
A COMPLETE SET OF ALL FOUR ORIGINAL 1964 FIVE INCH BEATLES REMCO DOLLS! (Remco Industries) THIS IS A NEAR MINT SET OF DOLLS. THE MOST INTERESTING PART IS THE WHITE PLASTIC INSTRUMENTS PLACED ON EACH! THE DOLLS ARE 100% VERIFIED ALL ORIGINAL AND AUTHENTIC REMCO PRODUCTS. ALL FOUR ARE NEAR MINT. THE MOST INTERESTING ASPECT TO THIS SET IS THE ...WHITE PLASTIC INSTRUMENTS WITH BLACK PRINT. AS YOU MAY KNOW, MOST ARE BLACK PLASTIC WITH GOLD FOIL STYLE PRINT. I DID DO A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON WITH THE STANDARD INSTRUMENTS AND THE MOLDS APPEAR IDENTICAL ALL THE WAY AROUND WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS BESIDE THE COLOR. 1. THE STRAPS IN THE COMMON BLACK INSTRUMENTS ARE ALL ONE MOLD WITH THE INSTRUMENTS. THE WHITE VERSIONS ARE ACTUALLY ROUND RUBBER STRAPS THAT HAVE BEEN ADHERED INTO RECESSES IN THE INSTRUMENT BODIES FOR SECURING THEM. 2. THE BACK OF THE DRUM HAS A MOLDED CAP ON IT, WHEREAS THE STANDARD BLACK ONE DOES NOT SINCE IT WAS MOLDED AS ONE PIECE. THE WHITE VERSIONS ARE ALL 3 PIECE VERSIONS. (2 STRAPS AND THE BODY. RINGO IS 2 BODY PARTS AND THE STRAP.) TO ME, THESE MAY VERY POSSIBLY BE THE ORIGINAL PROTOTYPE GUITARS MADE BY REMCO FOR POSSIBLE USE EARLY ON, THEN REPLACED LATER IN FAVOR OF THE BLACK AND GOLD SINGLE PART VERSIONS. THIS WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE THAN SOMEBODY JUST FAKING THESE. IF YOU WERE FAKING THEM, WHY NOT JUST MAKE WHITE VERSIONS OF THE STANDARD BLACK ONE PIECE UNITS? WOULD BE MUCH EASIER AND MAKE MORE SENSE TO ELUDE DETECTION? BUT I THINK THESE MAY BE THE AUTHENTIC PROTOTYPES. KEEP IN MIND THAT MANY OF THE EARLIER PROMOTIONAL IMAGES OF THE DOLLS HAD WHITE GUITARS, BUT WITH DIFFERENT VARIED MOLDS. THIS IS PRETTY MUCH NORMAL FOR PRODUCTION ITEMS TO EXPERIENCE REVISIONS ALONG THE WAY TO FINAL PRODUCTION. HOWEVER, THESE ARE MY GUT FEELINGS. I HAVE NO 100% VERIFICATION ON THESE GUITARS, SO I OFFER THEM AS THEY ARE. POSSIBLE, BUT NOT GUARANTEED TO BE ORIGINAL PROTOTYPES. THEY DO COME FROM THE COLLECTION OF A PROMINENT LONG TIME COLLECTOR WHO FOUND THEM ON EBAY MANY YEARS AGO. I WILL ADD THAT IF THEY WERE FAKE, WHY WOULDN'T THERE SIMPLY BE MORE AROUND? WHO FAKES LIKE THAT UNLESS IT'S THE MONA LISA OR SOMETHING LONG THAT LINE. ANYWAY, ENOUGH SAID, I DO GUARANTEE THE DOLLS TO BE AUTHENTIC OF COURSE. TWO ARE HARD BODY VERSIONS (PAUL AND RINGO) AND THE OTHER TWO ARE SOFT (JOHN AND GEORGE.). THE DOLLS ARE IN GREAT NEAR MINT- TO NEAR MINT SHAPE. THE WHITE COLORED INSTRUMENTS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE TOO. NEAR MINT- TO NEAR MINT. RINGO'S INSTRUMENT STRAP IS VERY HARD TO REMOVE, SO I DIDN'T TRY TO TAKE IT OFF FOR INSTRUMENT ONLY PICTURES. THE ORIGINAL OWNER SAID WHEN HE RECEIVED IT YEARS AGO, ONE SIDE HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE DRUM AND HE SIMPLY GLUED IT BACK. IT WAS GLUED ORIGINALLY FROM THE FACTORY AS MADE ALSO. ****PLEASE EXAMINE THE IMAGES FROM THE ORIGINAL SALES FLIER/HANDBILL FOR THE DOLLS. NOT THE INSTRUMENTS ARE LIGHT IN COLOR. THAT IS ANOTHER SET OF PROTOTYPES THE DIFFER FROM THIS SET AND THE FINAL BLACK SET. NOTE ON THE EXAMPLES SHOWN ON THE FLIER THAT THE STRAP FOR RINGO'S WHITE DRUM IS MOLDED IN AND SQUARE SHAPE. NOTE THE OTHER 3 INSTRUMENTS APPEAR TO BE RUBBER STRAPS AND ADHERED TO THE BACK OF EACH JUST AS THE SET I ADVERTISE HERE IS. SO I'M SURE THERE WERE A FEW EXPERIMENTS ALONG THE WAY TO THE FINAL VERSIONS. NOTE ALSO IN THE FLIER IMAGE THAT RINGO'S DRUM STRAPS ATTACH TO THE BODY AT WIDER POINTS THAN THE FINAL VERSIONS OR MY WHITE VERSIONS. NOT ALSO THE STRAPS OF THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS DO NOT HAVE THE ' NECK ' STRAP AS MY SET HAS, AND THE FINAL BLACK SETS HAVE. THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE OTHERS ARE ALSO A BIT DARKER IN COLOR ON THE INSTRUMENT BODIES AND STRAPS ON THE FLIER AS WELL, BUT NOT BLACK. SO YOU GET THE IDEA! MY SET IS EVEN OFF-WHITE COLOR WITH THE SAME STRAP MATERIAL ON ALL. IT'S MY HUNCH THE SET I OFFER IS THE REAL DEAL, BUT AGAIN, I CANNOT GUARANTEED IT AS THE COMPANY IS NOW LONG GONE AND ALL VERIFICATION MUST BE DONE ONLY WITH AVAILABLE INFORMATION TODAY AND COMMON SENSE. OH, THE FUN NEVER ENDS IN OUR CHOSEN HOBBY! (THE FLIER IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS SET OF DOLLS/INSTRUMENTS.)CHECK OUT THE PICTURES AND ENJOY!

The boxes are way too nice to try and open to confirm, but I've seen enough of these dolls over the years to know the hard plastic body versions are notably shinier. They are a matched set. And in truly remarkable condition indeed!
