That smaller Lord Charles must have worked well for him, it helped make him famous enough to do bigger venues that needed a bigger version.

Clifford Guest used a Frank Marshall Rickie Tik figure which is 34" tall.

I was looking for an early photo of Willie Tyler & Lester.
The only one I could find (quickly) is the record album cover (see below). I think I have another one or two in my files somewhere. I'll try to find them. Click here to view attached image. |

Cool pic, Fonsy. I understand Madeleine Maher made both versions of Lester, but does anyone know who has maintained/serviced the figure over the years? For instance, who installed his newer moving arms?

I also don't know if Joel added the moving arms or if Willie did that himself.

I used a smaller figure when I was thirteen than I do now, too.
