Mini-Animatronic Billy Bob w/Stand
EST VALUE: $500-600, $300-400 (Loose Billy Bob)
This is a very rare prototype figure that was never released. It was one of a few built in 1985 by CEI. It never made it into production because it was too delicate and expensive to mass produce. Examples with finished bases are very rare, however, a few unfinished ceramic bases and mint Billy Bobs have been found.

Paul McCartney Plug
EST VALUE: $???
From what I've been able to research, CEI had planned to make an animatronic Paul McCartney for ShowBiz. This sculp was developed in the early 1980s using R&D money from ShowBiz. He was to appear on stage (a la Uncle Klunk). It never saw the light of day. This plug was from that mold.

Select-A-Show Artwork (Prototype?)

This artwork was designed to work with a show selector panel. Listings by the buttons have songs from around 1984 (Magic and Trivia shows). This might have been prototype or may have been actually used in the few ShowBiz stores that had the Show Selector system in the early 1980s.
