4.25" on 4.9 white stem with feet. Handmade and painted resin head of Speedy. Numbered on back of neck 4/25. In 1951, the "Speedy" character was introduced. Created by George Pal of the Wade Ad Agency as Sparky, the name was changed to Speedy by a sales manager to promote that year's promotional theme of "Speedy Relief". He appeared in over 200 TV commercials between 1954 and 1964. Speedy's body was an Alka-Seltzer tablet, while he wore another as a hat; he proclaimed Alka-Seltzer's virtues and sang the "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz" song in his high, squeaky voice. An excellent Pez fantasy creation. Head sits slightly tilted back but otherwise Exc. as made.
