Mechanical Snowman

Well this is completely off topic - so I guess it fits in here...
=)
If anyone ever comes across a poloron mechanical snowman or has one they want to sell and are in the DC area (Va, Pa, Md, WV) please let me know.
I have been trying to buy one for my wife for 10 years. She had one as a kid in the 70s down in Louisiana... but it melted and was tossed out in the 80s.
I am also still interested - even if the motor does not work.

Picture at bottom...
THANKS!

How exactly is that mechanical? It looks stationary to me. it doesn't even look like the arms can move.

The top above the waistline moves back and forth.

I was wondering about that but then again if that's all it does is rotate back and forth at the waist then that hardly qualifies it to be "mechanical", because I was expecting it to have moving arms as well, but meh...

It uses a motorized mechanism that moves it back and forth, hence the term "mechanical". They made a Santa Claus version too.

It would be neat if the arms could move though. In that case it could probably be modded to do your shoveling.

As I recall, after one storm here someone built a 15-foot snowman.

Yes

Yes. It moves back and forth at the waist. This is one of the harder blow molds to find. There was also a Santa version that Sears sold. The Santa is a little bit easier to find than the Snowman. Any leads would be very much appreciated.
