Picked up this odd looking HELLA soft toy character at an auto jumble in Belgium.
But so far not had much luck finding any info on it.
Genuine Hella with Hella label and HELLA embroidered on his overalls.
Anyone seen one of these before?
Was it promotional or advertising character.
Just curious to find out more.
Funny looking thing.
thanks

It reminds me of all the other character toys that were handed out to kids while waiting for Dad's car to be serviced (Michelin man). His buttons and felt remind me of the critters from when I was a curtain climber in the late 60s. We had Koalas from the Rola Rack company as recently as the early 90s. Very cool and great as a back seat passenger.
