Dave Coulier sold the Mr. Woodchuck puppet from Full House to Toys "R" Us. The puppet was Joey Gladstone’s comic sidekick, appearing when Joey performed as children’s entertainer Ranger Joe.
Mr. Woodchuck was more than a random prop: Coulier helped design the character with puppet maker Randy Simper, whose work also included television puppets. The puppet’s name supported Joey’s steady stream of wood-related jokes and made it one of the sitcom’s most recognizable recurring props.
A later story often causes confusion. Coulier said he kept an original Mr. Woodchuck after the series ended, but his dog eventually destroyed its face. Jimmy Fallon later had a replacement puppet made for a reunion sketch and gave that version to Coulier. Those later anecdotes concern surviving or recreated props, while the documented toy-store sale identifies Toys "R" Us.
The sitcom ran on ABC from 1987 to 1995, and the puppet’s popularity reflected the era’s close link between television characters and major retail toy chains.
