Jeff Dunham Talking Headknocker Achmed

The item is a 'Jeff Dunham Talking Headknocker Achmed' collectible figure, presented in its original retail packaging. The packaging consists of a box with a clear plastic window on the front, allowing visibility of the figure inside. The box design is light pink with repeating skull/face graphics, likely representing Achmed's face, on the side panels. The front of the box prominently displays 'JEFF DUNHAM' in bold red letters at the top, followed by 'TALKING HEADKNOCKER' beneath it, and 'Achmed' in a stylized script. A circular red burst graphic on the bottom left corner indicates 'TALKS! 9 catchphrases'. The figure itself depicts Achmed, the Dead Terrorist, a popular ventriloquist dummy character. Achmed is represented as a skeletal figure with a weathered, decayed appearance, particularly on the face, which features prominent eye sockets and a grimacing mouth revealing teeth. There are visible 'glowing' red elements in the eye sockets, suggesting an LED light feature. The figure is primarily depicted as a skeleton, with exposed ribs and bone structure, dressed in what appears to be a brown or tan hooded cloak that covers the upper back and head. The materials appear to be plastic or resin, cast to mimic bone texture. The item appears to be in new, unopened condition within its original packaging, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or repairs to the box or the figure inside. This suggests it is a modern collectible, likely produced in the 21st century after Jeff Dunham gained widespread popularity.
