EVERYBODY'S TALKING BARBIE TALK!!! Talking Barbie and Friends (1968-1971) 

You're very welcome! ;)

Yes, unfortunately some go mute not long after. I'm amazed that some still talk today even after being repaired!

I agree... She's my favourite of the bunch because she is the only one who has never been repaired to talk, yet she still does!!! ❤

Thanks so much! It's cool to hear them talk, isn't it? 😉

Thanks so much!!!! 😘 Yes, she is my favourite out of all my Staceys, (she even has her original factory hair ribbon!)

Thanks so much for all your help with this, Deany!!!! 😘 I think I owe lots of my 'large and colourful' collection to knowing you as I don't think I would have gotten into lots of these dolls without your encouragement! LOL So do you STILL wanna steal some of it? 😜

Its a little bit sad that Barbie & Stacey & PJ mention each other to do things and Christie doesnt be mentioned between them conversations ..... sign of the times kind of racism characterized by Mattel.

@@ferdinandmaurentperez5681 : Yes, Christie doesn't seem to be mentioned by the others, though she did appear in some of the TV ads with the Talkers, and she outlasted P.J. and Stacey in the Barbie line by a mile... So the strong prevail! 😉

LOL yes, they can take a lot of pulling!!! Thanks for subscribing!!! 😉

Thank you! ☺

Thank you! 😊 Stacey was the only one who was never repaired ... I bought her from her original owner whose mother pulled the string every week or so for decades! I still do that and she still talks loud and clear but she's getting a bit slower! Yes, the Talkers are notorious for limbs falling off. It's because of the reaction of the different plastics that are in contact with each other over time. I used to repair mine, but now they just wear stretch 'spanx'panties to keep the legs in place. 😉

@@fashiondolldreamer that’s a great idea! The spanx panties to hold the legs. I need to try that. I was a bit shocked to find her bald spot inside her ponytail because she was my first vintage/mod Barbie and I tought she had hair rooted in all of her head 🫢

Thank you so much for commenting!!! 😘

LOL yes, I know what you mean!!! Thanks so much for commenting!!! 😘

Thank you!!! 😘

LOL awww thanks! 😉

LOL yes, she does sound like one of those drive-thru speakers!

Hiya! Thanks for the tip, but I'm way too clumsy to repair anything! LOL 😜

Thanks so much!!! 😉

Thanks!!! No, I just bought them that way. I don't have the patience or skill for that! LOL

I bought them all already repaired, with the exception of that Stacey that - believe it or not! - STILL talks without having been repaired as the seller's mother pulled that string every week for 50+ years!!! I still do the same with her, but she IS starting to get a little slow now.

LOL Yes in the late 60's, there was no serious talk about careers.... it was all about parties, modelling and shopping! 😜

@@fashiondolldreamersounds dreamy 🥰 I want that life 🤣

@@Lars1996:LOL so do I!! 😉

Congrats on getting it. It's quite an outfit! 😉
