Warp speed Beasley...or Beasley on balloons...LOL. And sometimes the string didn't break...it just didn't go back inside their necks. Kids today have no clue how troublesome those talking dolls were..
My g-friend was raised by her mother alone. So money was tight....the year they came out with a talking Ken....S begged and begged for him for Christmas. Santa dutifully leaves a Ken doll beneath the tree. Unfortunately...S HATED the sound of his voice. Instead of just not pulling the string...she gave him the larynecetomy (how the hell do you spell that I'm just throwing letter in there, you know what I mean)....any way.. she CUT his string OFF...Christmas Day.!! She told me her mother was so p-ssed off cause she'd paid 25 bucks for a now non-talking Ken....LOL
