More Info: All Talker
dolls are very fragile and are commonly known for the legs
to come off. Most Talker dolls are found mute (cannot talk),
but they can be restored to talk again! All dolls shown are
from my collection and are not for sale. This is a
collector info site only. Private collection/collector.
follow up dolls will be on a different
page/see site map or follow related talkers
link above to see more Talking dolls after
Christie and Ken dolls. Since I collect all
vintage to 1972 complete, it's easier for me
to learn and recall the info, by the dates
when the items were issued.
