Toys Wanted / Looking for a long lost friend
« Last post by AScanlanTeller on Saturday 10 April 2021, 03:52 am »
Hi All, I am looking for a favorite stuffed animal I gave away when I went to college. It was a 1971 Mattel Bean Pal Puppy. I loved this pup! If anyone has one in their collection that they would be willing to part with to a good home, I would be ever so grateful. Audrey

CURRENT Toy Sections / Voice samples from the 150-leg Lots-a-Lots-a-Leggggggs
« Last post by Zovi on Thursday 08 April 2021, 03:10 pm »
Hello! Last year I managed to obtain one of the 150-leg Lots-a-Lots-a-Leggggggs 90s reissue caterpillars (the pink one, named Gabby on her tag). I believe these are pretty rare!



As noted on the Ghost of the Doll mini-site for the line, she makes sounds! I don't think her sounds are anywhere online, so I decided to preserve them the best I could before her battery died, since it was a wonder that it lasted this long.

...actually, this ended up being her swan song in a way, as a few presses of her voice box later brought about the slowed distortion that warns of dying battery. And I'm not sure if I want to risk opening her up to try to replace a battery that might not even be accessible, so...I'm glad I did this when I did.

So here's the five sounds she makes, repeated twice, recorded with a microphone held as close as possible with some noise reduction.

Enjoy!

Also, a note: the voice box is located just behind the head in the first couple of body segments, and you press it, not shake it (though it responds to a very light touch, so if you shake it she might do her chatter-giggle as well).

Hi, I'm Zovi! I make weird music and like purple things.

I'm here specifically for Lots-a-Lots-a-Leggggggs discussion and collection! My collection is small right now but (with much thanks to Ghost of the Doll's comprehensive mini-site for the line) I am being very picky with the caterpillars I'm looking out for!

Nice to meet you all!

General Toy Discussion / Educational & eco-friendly toys for kids - first communion
« Last post by bucatini on Friday 19 March 2021, 01:33 pm »
Hi there, I have a challenge - first communion gift. I'm looking for educational toys for a 9- year old boy who has problems with spatial imagination and logical thinking at school and doesn't like nature lessons too much - but his parents would like to convince him somehow. I was thinking about board games, chess and https://greeninstructions.com/ - an option where you only need an old set of blocks as the site has instructions needed to rebuild it in a completely new way, but I would like to buy something extra. Maybe some new lego or a board game in addition to that? I play such games, but for adults, would e.g. Carcasonne be something attractive for such child? Please give me your advice.

Toy ID Help / 90s 18 inch talking doll similar to lil miss
« Last post by Meowiepants on Saturday 27 February 2021, 05:21 pm »
Hi all! I hope you can help I’m so stuck. I have a 18 inch doll that is all hard plastic. Markings: 1995 V.I made in China. VI most likely means Vivid imaginations company but they have no record of this doll.
She talks when you press a moulded on bracelet on her wrist. Says “you’re my best friend” “I love bubbles” “let’s do it again”. Slightly British accent. Battery compartment on the back with no extra info inside. Speaker holes on her belly. Eyes look as though they may colour change with hot/cold water but I haven’t had any luck with that. Very similar to a Mattel lil miss doll. Didn’t come with any clothes or accessories from the store I got her from.

General Toy Discussion / Looking for info on a Cabbage Patch doll! Please help!
« Last post by mrsbradshaw on Thursday 25 February 2021, 09:44 pm »
Hello all! I'm new here. My name is Laura, or you can call me Mrs B. I've been trying to find a forum of doll collectors or doll experts who may possibly have a wealth of knowledge on all kinds of dolls. I am not a doll collector and have minimal knowledge of dolls, but I recently came into possession of this one doll in particular that has been sending my curiosity up the wall.
She is a full size Cabbage Patch Doll, her box says she's a 2003 20th Anniversary edition. Her name is Norma Sienna. I will attach photos so you all can see her. Her box is in not so good condition, it has been taped up quite a bit as it has been previously opened. But she is basically untouched and has not been played with. She is still tied into the box and has her birth certificate/adoption papers. She has a beautiful aqua green dress that all the 20th Anniversary girls appear to wear.
But I am having the absolute hardest time finding out any details about her! I have scoured Google and eBay and have not been able to find Norma Sienna. I have found one of the 20th Anniversary boys for sale on eBay, but not many others in this Anniversary edition. I have not even seen another like her. She has beautiful brown skin and gorgeous soft black curls unlike hair I've seen on another Cabbage Patch doll. I don't know if the 20th Anniversary Cabbage Patch dolls are just rare in general, or if she is a rare doll in particular, but I thought I'd at least have found another Norma Sienna somewhere on the internet. Someone else out there must have this same doll, surely?
I am looking for someone with any information. Has anyone seen her before? Any information on the 20th Anniversary Cabbage Patch dolls, and especially Norma Sienna? Are they really rare, or am I just not looking in the right places? Are there doll experts anyone knows of I can take her to? Any info is greatly appreciated!
