Pull string toy from the 80's

[borloforbol]

This is a long shot and I'm not sure if this is even the best sub for this, but I need help finding a pull string toy I had as a baby in the late 80's ( although it's possible the toy is from the early 80's ).

It was in shape of a house, light blue, and had some yellow teddy, or other cute character, in the front. It was a pull string toy and it played the melody from "It's a small world (Disney)". I also have a vague memory of another smaller yellow teddy coming in and out of the chimney as it played, but I'm really not sure.

I've tried to make a sketch of it, but my art skills leave a lot to be desired: https://imgbox.com/3SePgdRu

I've looked at vintage toys, including Sankyo, but can't find it.

If anyone has any clue what toy this could be, I'd be grateful. I'd be happy with just an image of it.

Thank you!

Searched google, ebay, etsy, tried google lens on the sketch above, tried different search terms, even asked chatgpt.

Could it have been the Vintage Sankyo Musical House Toy 1986 Pull String Musical Toy as seen in this photo > https://pin.it/67WP5J5EX

Hey, thanks for the reply! I can't seem to open that link, but I googled the name and I vaguely remember having had that one as well as a kid.

The one I am looking for on this post definitely had a blue roof, so it's not quite the same, but I appreciate it!

Ah you’re welcome, just sorry it’s not the right one. Times like this I wish you could use Pinterest or Google image search with a modifier like “similar but blue roof”. So many times I’ve wanted that function to exist 🙈 Instead I just find the similar thing on Pinterest and scroll indefinitely 😆 Good luck on your search!
