Description:
Snappy the Happy Bubble Blowing Dragon is the rarest bubble blower I am aware of. It appears to be from the 1960s and was made by the Marx Company (Japan). It came with a squeeze bottle for bubble solution and took four batteries.

Box cover and side say:
* Stop and go action
* Weaves along the floor
* Flashing lights go on and off in sequence
* Turning head action
* Bubble blowing action

Side of box also says "Fill with bubble solution through nostril or mouth with enclosed eye dropper."

Boy, would I love to have this one!!
