Talking Headknocker Appraisal

Jeff Dunham Talking Headknocker - Walter

The item is a "Jeff Dunham Talking Headknocker" featuring the character "Walter." It is presented in its original retail packaging, which is a rectangular cardboard box with a large clear plastic window on the front, allowing full visibility of the figure inside. The box itself is white with red and black lettering, and features cartoon-style illustrations of Walter's grumpy face repeated as a pattern on the side panels. The front of the box clearly states "JEFF DUNHAM TALKING HEADKNOCKER" and "Walter." There is also a red circular burst graphic on the lower left of the front panel that reads "Includes 10 of his funniest phrases!" The figure inside the box appears to be a bobblehead or headknocker style, depicting Walter, a grumpy old man character created by ventriloquist Jeff Dunham. Walter's face is rendered with distinct features: a furrowed brow, dark, prominent eyebrows, and a somewhat stern or displeased expression. He appears to be wearing a light-colored, possibly blue or white, collared shirt. The figure is made of what appears to be painted resin or similar plastic material. The packaging is in good condition, showing no significant tears, dents, or creases, suggesting it has been well-preserved. The plastic window is clear and undamaged. The overall impression is that of a mass-produced novelty item designed for fans of Jeff Dunham's comedy. The item's age is estimated to be relatively modern, likely related to the peak popularity of Jeff Dunham's shows, suggesting production within the last two decades. No visible manufacturing marks or specific dates are discernible from the image, but the clear branding indicates its origin.
