I picked this up in a thrift shop on holiday in England, it's the Beatles Magnetic Hair game, missing the magnetic pen unfortunately. I guess it must be quite valuable, there is one for sale at the moment on ebay, and I've seen these for sale at memorabilia websites for anything between 600 and 3000 dollars (that seems way overpriced!).
It works really well, kids would love to play with this (but I don't let them!)

The artwork is quite good, and the "Yeah Yeah Yeah" adds some kind of commentary on the maker cashing in. You can borrow a magnetic pen from a common "Wooly Willie" and have some fun!
that's a great idea !
That is so great, and funny! I remember having a game similar to that when I was a child. It was called "Wooly Willy"!
I believe we had one of these with the Three Stooges when we were kids. I know we had something with one head.
this is a site that I have used to gauge my own collection of Beatles memorabilia. Nothing shows up right now for the Magnetic Hair Game but you could always contact them for more info. Great find!

Thats funny !!! But nice !!
I had this game and sold it, I was told I'd get $1,000, it went to the USA from the UK and I got around 400 pounds as I remember...it's RARE!
