When I was about 7 years, 1978, I saved all my pocket money to buy a doll. You had to pull the legs down (i.e on a string) then it said several phrases such as "i losing my head over you". This is my most memorable toy that is now a long forgotten memory of other girls my age. I'd love to see this again.

I had a doll very similar to this (and came across it in our attic recently). She has plastic moulded hair and an orange dress. Her phrases varied from: "Carry me I'm portable", "I can sit in your pocket", "I'm so silly", "Are you silly too?". All done in an American twang. I'm sure the children of today would have pleasure if you could re-produce it.

I've still got one of these, and she still works! My feet are getting closer!

yes, I have one too, not mine originally but a fortunate boot sale find.They come in Disney characters too and are called Talk Ups and are very collectable as they were only made for a year apparently.You could get one from a "well known web site" on auction.
Wouldn't it be great if it could be reproduced.

I had one too! She had a large head and small body, and said "I'd lose my head over you!"

Me and my colleague in work both had these dolls, I had both the brown and blonde ones and we sat in work one morning remembering all the sayings and laughing our heads off everytime we remembered a new one....they were great!!! Wished we still had them!
