[Mccoypottery-talk] Pillsbury Dough Boy?

[acp]

McCoy made a similar figure -- maybe they made the similar character,
because they couldn't legally make the Doughboy (Poppin Fresh) without
licensing it from Pillsbury.  

The McCoy figure was shaped differently, with a different face and was,
IMHO, not even slightly as appealing as the Doughboy.  
I'm prejudiced, though, because I've always been VERY fond of the
little Poppin Fresh.  He's adorable.  :-)
And out of loyalty to him, I have always resented the McCoy "imposter"
when I see it.  ;-)
