Rare 1977 Mego Sonny & Cher red roadster car

Mego celebrity dolls from the television show "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" in 1971 until 1974. 

They first came to our attention as singers with 1960s hits like "I Got You Babe" and The Beat Goes On"  later they went on to entertain us in their TV show with more songs, skits and comedic teasing of one another and all those glorious fashions that Cher wore designed by Bob Mackie.

We thought they'd go on together forever, but they didn't, when Sonny Bono (1935 - 1998) and Cher (1946 - ) finalized a divorced in 1975, the TV show stopped and each took their separate paths.  But the dolls remain; Cher with her Mackie wardrobe and Sonny in his tuxedos.  The Cher doll had around thirty separate outfits and Sonny had six outfits, along with special play sets; a dressing room, roadster car and more.
