80s mini vintage teletubby Tinky Winky purple charm

This is an approx 4.5cm vintage fabric keyring made in Taiwan. It is a one off item made in the 80s. But still in good condition. It can be used alone or combined to make a bar charm bunch.

First aired in the UK in 1997, Stinky Winky et al were "technological babies on the cusp of technological change", They lived in a Tubbytronic Superdome with a sentient vacuum cleaner called Noo-Noo. And they had TV screens planted on their tummies, through which they viewed children out in the real world.

Tinky Winky is purple, the biggest Teletubby and almost always goes first!

He is gentle, soft and a dreamer. He can be a little indecisive but is also very thoughtful.

His signature move is putting his arms out to the side (for “T”) and then upwards, with bent elbows, for “W”.

Tinky Winky’s favorite thing is his red bag, which he carries over his elbow.

Most of all, he loves big hugs!
