Operated by a single battery in the back which causes a see-saw device to make the Wimpy head pop up on the left and then a Popeye head on the right. The two moving heads are high value targets. Unlike the small target, the large version has a third target at the center top of Popeye's pipe. Includes a generic black metal target spring-loaded gun and two darts. Also includes original box with all end flaps having been restored. Provenance: Collection of Carl Lobel.
