Bendy Toys Ltd made a version of Postman Pat in their characteristic bendable foam rubber.

Bendy Postman Pat Hamleys Catalogue c 1985
This toy dates from the early 80’s and is one of the first Postman Pat toys. In mint condition it is increasingly rare.
These toys came boxed with a cellophane cover and the finish was hand painted. The rubber exterior covered an inner wire armature. Bendy made a whole range of other character figures – “Lovable World Wide TV and Film Favourites” as they said on the box.
The Bendy Postman Pat stands 9″ tall. Original examples have a removeable blue fabric jacket and trousers. The jacket has a velcro fastener.
A major problem with finding a mint example is that over time the rubber in the Bendy toys begins to perish; it hardens and crumbles.
