    Description

    Vintage 1985 Playmates African American CRICKET Talking Doll. Excellent Used Condition!  VERY RARE ITEM!
    Cricket doll in excellent condition!
    This Cricket is not like any others on eBay, or anywhere else.
    It has been stripped down and totally refurbished, with all rubber belts replaced with high quality new belts, all gears were lubricated, and all controls cleaned.
    When you typically purchase a used animatronic doll, you are almost always buying one that either has a problem or will develop one soon enough because the rubber deteriorates over time and these dolls are 35 years old.
    I have purchased and restored hundreds of the Playmates and WOW dolls!
    Sound is excellent clear and loud and eyes and mouth move with the tape.
    Please look at my Feedback as well almost a twenty year span of 100% positives and feel confident in your purchase.

    Cricket comes with her outfit and original "Cricket" tape.  Please note that the skirt is a good copy, but not original, the yellow panties and yellow socks are not included.  She has two slight flaws as shown in the photos.  Someone apparently cut 5 strands of hair in the very front (see photo) which is really not noticeable unless you look closely and can probably hide entirely with a nicer hairdo.  The second very minor flaw is he fingernails have been painted which probably can be removed (see photo.)  I have adjusted the price down accordingly.
    I also have dozens of Cricket's books and animation cassettes that I will be listing soon on eBay, so please keep watching!  I have Cricket's Caucasian brother (he's adopted into this family) Corky listed separately on eBay and he is Brand New in the box!
