My blog sucks, but I will take a picture of the bank and post it. Check it out if you want. It's not a good picture, either.Sister Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11466276874684414277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-1137094763365057692006-01-12T14:39:00.000-05:002006-01-12T14:39:00.000-05:00Hey Chris!You know, come to think of it, that Gale...Hey Chris!<BR/><BR/>You know, come to think of it, that Galen mold is also very similar (though maybe not quite identical...) to the Aurora model kit of Cornelius.

I actually have a painted ceramic figure of Galen that looks exactly like your bank except it is painted different colours. 20th Century Fox must have licensed that mold for all sorts of different things.<BR/><BR/>My favourite bank is one from Radio Shack that is a little yellow robot. You place a coin on his hand, push a button, and he puts the coin in his mouth and chews on it!<BR/><BR/>-Chris JohnsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
