Playmates 1986 Cricket Doll w/Tape Recorder, Red Velvet Dress & Hair Bows

Description

Sold As Is.
Doll and dress are in great condition.  They would make a great addition to a vintage doll or toy collection.
However, the tape recorder and interactive mechanisms do not appear to be working. The tape deck turns on and the tape mechanism turns and tape reel progresses but no sound comes out. Also no eye movement. Perhaps could be fixed or used for parts. I was using a regular cassette tape as I didn't have any Cricket tapes so perhaps that was the issue but I would think sound would come out regardless of the tape being played.

Ships with USPS Mail. This is a big and heavy doll that will be in the 6# shipping weight class.
I use the Ebay calculated shipping tool which takes the weight and box dimensions along with my zip code (Los Angeles area) and your zip code. It then uses current ACTUAL shipping rate tables from USPS and UPS to show you the actual shipping cost. If you look at the other listings with lower shipping it likely mean those items are geographically closer to your home than this listing is.
If you live in the greater Los Angeles area and are willing to drive to the South Bay to pick this up, I have included a free pickup option for you to select at checkout. If you don't live in LA please do not select this as it will delay and complicate the shipping process.
