Description
Hollow rubber doll about 4" tall (various colors available orange, blue, maybe others) with battery-powered light in head and momentary power switch under belly (a slide-in plastic cartridge). A gremlin/ratfink bald guy with clear plastic jewels for eyes and a tooth. An elastic lanyard out the top of his head. The jingle went: "You press their funny tummy, it makes 'em light; Everybody's having fun with Looney Light." I'd love to find one of these... but no one has heard of them. Must be around 1971.

I found this webpage doing a search for a LOONEY LIGHT. I had one of these, and I remember what year it was, 1968, I saw the ad on television (I do remember "Looney Light! Looney Light!" and kids riding bicycles) and wanted one for my birthday, and I got it (I expect he wasn't expensive)! Hard to believe that was 40 years ago. He had a lanyard as you wrote that went thru his head so you could wear him 'round your neck. I collect a lot of vintage 60s stuff, even Mini Martians, but LOONEY LIGHT never seems to turn up.

I just found this page searching for LOONEY LIGHT, too! There's not a one to be had, on ebay...but SURELY, they must still be out there somewhere...I think mine was green. I got this in the mid '60's, i think. Yep. Wasn't as late as '70. Let me know if you find 'em! I'm starting to recollect all the toys i loved from my childhood...have you SEEN the price of upsy downsies, and the Green Ghost game?!? Gasp. I must be old....:) elektra001@yahoo.com
I still have mine from when I was a kid. The dog got it and pulled out the insert and its toes have some teeth marks on them. To bad, I wish he was in better shape. I loved that ugly little thing! Nearly Killed the dog!
