Odd Ogg and the VW New Beetle?

The first time I saw the VW New Beetle I was instantly reminded of a toy I had back in the early 1960's called Odd Ogg.

Odd Ogg was a great toy made by the Ideal Toy Corporation in 1962. It was powered by 2-D sized batteries and a motor made in Japan. There was no on/off switch for Ogg, he was always ready to roll. Odd Ogg came with 4 colored plastic balls which you rolled toward him, attempting to roll it underneath the him directly below his tongue. If you rolled it dead center, Odd Ogg rolled forward a foot or so. If you rolled it off to the side, Ogg rolled backwards and opened it's mouth, sticking out it's tongue and making a razzing noise.

The goal: Could you get Odd Ogg to come to you before you ran out of colored balls?
