Searching – 80’s Applause Knickerbocker THE CORPORATION of BLACK WHITE PENGUINS with YELLOW BEAKS

Plush Memories Lost Toy Search Service Posted on by

Hi all
Well, my dad went and did a search to try to find the penguins and saw this site and my post and put 2 and 2 together. So my surprise is shot. They had a picture of our penguins, and I’m posting it. I found the right penguin and gave one to give my parents for Christmas. Now I have the tag information, too. The penguins are called “The Corporation” made by Applause copyrighted in 1981. It has “item # 8313” as well as “A division of Knickerbocker Toy Co. Inc”. I’m still interested in collecting more. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far.

, Searching – 80’s Applause Knickerbocker THE CORPORATION of BLACK WHITE PENGUINS with YELLOW BEAKSI’m trying to find one or more of a group of stuffed penguins made by Applause in the early 80’s. It was part of series containing 5 penguins that varied in size from 8” to about 18” tall. I have a rough drawn picture of what they look like. I don’t have any other information, except they have a beak that is what I would describe as wide and short but fat and ”honkable” (doesn’t actually make a sound, just looks like it ought to be honked). The beak and feet were gold/yellow, typical penguin black with white belly, and white area around eyes.

This is the original drawing Kevin gave us. He did a great job of drawing the right penguin, didn’t he!!

These penguins had a special meaning to my mom, who yesterday lost them in a fire in my parents’ RV while they were on vacation in Alaska. She got the first of them in 1982.

Thanks,

Kevin

  1. when you say honkable, does it make sound?
    Maybe Russ Berrie instead. Look at this 1979 Russ Berrie Luv Pets Penguin
    Ebay Item number: 140437798686

  2. no it doesn’t make any noise, just the shape of the nose makes you want to “honk” it

  3. compared to the Russ Berrie penguin the one I’m looking for has a wider nose and feet, the nose is wider than it is long, the color is the same for the nose and feet. also the penguin I’m looking for has no neck or writing on the belly, and it’s wings are short and stubby and black on top and white on bottom.

  6. Hi Kevin here’s two ebay lsitings…not sure if they are right but i thought i’d post them anyway

    https://cgi.ebay.com/Applause-Penguin-Arctic-Iceburg-Plush-Stuffed-Animal-/320572907078?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa3a25e46

    https://cgi.ebay.com/Parker-Dancing-Penguin-Applause-Tag-/160463010254?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item255c5739ce

    Just keep checking ebay, you could also try etsy and look under “vintage” instead of handmade

    it’s also worth (when searching) taking out the “applause” part and just using “stuffed” or “penguin plush” as people may not have it listed under applause.

    good luck!

  7. thanks for the links, the first one is close, the shape of the body and wings are right but the beak and feet aren’t and there is a white field around the eyes.

  11. Hi all
    Well my dad went and did a search to try to find the penguins and saw this site and my post and put 2 and 2 together. So my surprise is shot. They had a picture of our penguins and I’m posting it. The Chewie Newgett penguins are close but not quite the same. I was able to confirm the penguins they lost were made by applause and my mom bought the first one in 1982. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far.
