Tickle Me Elmo/Tickles the Chimp, notes and correspondence, 1992-1994
Scope and Content Note
This subseries houses notes, correspondence, and other documents supporting the design of numerous dolls, action figures, plush toys, electronic games, and outdoor toys by Ron Dubren & Associates. Original folder titles were retained when possible; multiple names proposed for the same design are indicated on the folder labels, separated by a forward slash. Of note is early information on Tickle Me Elmo, arguably Dubren’s most successful product and the result of collaboration with Greg Hyman. Some folders contain graphics only.
Physical prototypes for dozens of Dubren’s doll and toy designs exist within the collections of the National Museum of Play and can be viewed on-site at The Strong.
