"Cute, huh? Kind of remind you of Mr. and Mrs. Chucky. No. It's not them. But you know maybe they were the prototype. We'll never know will we? These are Hummels copies. Remember Hummels those little figurines of little boys and girls playing and little ducks and cutesy little animals and swans and trees. Well, these are Hummels and these were made in nineteen fifty-seven. And these are the Hummel, they're Hummel twin set. Now, the thing you want to look for in these Hummels, of course, is condition is everything in all dolls. Condition, condition, condition. So, you take a good look and you see this Hummel, that's not a tear. That's a pocket. His little fanny's showing through but it's okay because he came that way. So, you take a look at these Hummels and you take a look and see that the pair in excellent condition. Let's check it out. Nice shoes. Shoes are important because if you're missing a shoe, value plummets. But if we have all of our shoes, we have our hair, we have our hands, these little babies are worth about ninety-five bucks for the pair. Now, if you have one Hummel, it's not as good as two. So, if you find a Hummel, look for the brother and sister combo. They're better in pairs."
