I recently went back to the Christmas and Collectibles store where I got my first Christmas Macarena gorilla in 2013 (which I later sold) and they had two left. They had these two left, for $5.99 apiece. The left one had battery corrosion, but after cleaning it and putting aluminum foil on one of the contacts, it worked perfectly. The other one's battery compartment was clean (though it is missing the cover) but the pin that the gearbox attaches to to bob back and forth is broken, so it only moves its mouth. I might try to glue it, but if it doesn't hold, I might use that one for parts. Also its switch is loose from the base.
