Toys and Games Reviews of Hippo Puppet
Customer Review: Perfect surprise gift for an NCIS lover.
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife is an avid fan of NCIS. Abby is her favorite character. In a couple of episodes we noticed Abby's form of a security blanket, her plush hippo, "Bert". Bert is remembered for his flatulance when squeezed. I thought it would be a nice surprise for my wife if I could find a Bert for her. After some research I learned that Abby's Bert was made by Folkmanis, but sadly had been discontinued for some time. For one year I scoured the secondary market but couldn't find one, so in desperation I contacted Folkmanis to beg their consideration for bringing it back. I told them that with the almost cult following NCIS has there would be plenty of adults out there who would like to see it available again. To my amazement, six months later, they resurrected the hippo. I suspect that the folks behind NCIS would prohibit Folkmanis from mentioning the TV show in their marketing, but believe me, this is Bert. When Folkmanis brought him back there was a very slight difference since Abby's hippo. This version is about an inch and a half smaller. I don't know if Bert was actually a hand puppet, but this one is. Your hand goes in the underside so you can make his mouth move. As for the flatulance, no that's not a feature, or even an option. But during my research I learned that Bert's trademark was just a post-production special effect anyway. This hippo is well built, soft and cuddly. Any child would be happy to have it. But I think its real value is for the lovers of NCIS out there.
