STUART LITTLE Dancing Stuart doll

This uncommon find is a 12" plush doll of Stuart Little, the mouse originally voiced by Michael J. Fox. He wears a white tuxedo jacket, a white shirt, a black bowtie, black pants, and red sneakers with white soles and laces. He is shown holding a large red comb, standing atop a suitcase. The doll has never been used or removed from its original box, and is in nearly perfect condition. Unfortunately, the internal batteries (three AA batteries) that operate Stuart Little's dancing, talking, and air guitar functions need to be replaced to make him operational again. Since he has never been used before, he should work perfectly once new batteries are added. The display box is intact and undamaged, but it does have edge and back wear. This item was manufactured by Hasbro in 1999.
