Very Rare 1971 Mattel Talk Ups Dressy Doll "Original Clothing" Pull String "Works". This is a very rare and collectable doll that is in beautiful working shape and in excellent plus condition overall. The only noticeable defect is a small dark mark on top of her head. This doll has the paper face intact and in beautiful shape except one small tear on the right cheek and has the original dress with original clasp and ribbon. The dress is a tiny bit frayed and the clasp looks a bit tarnished but it is all intact and you can see where the ribbon was stitched to the dress but I will not attempt any restoration to this valuable rare doll. Dressy has played 5 different messages upon pulling the string, sometimes repeating the same message and she talks quite clearly, I cannot guarantee that she will play all the original messages but certainly most of the messages. I have only tested the string for a hand full of pulls as I do not want to damage this rare doll. The messages play well and I assume that the mechanism is in very good shape but I cannot guarantee this because the toy was produced in 1971. Dressy is now a very presentable 51 year old toy doll. I have included pictures of the doll for you to view if you have any questions on Dressy please ask. The hands, feet, head and pull string are all in great shape. This is a marvelous piece. I will consider reasonable offers. Dressy has been stored carefully in a clean, dry, smoke free and pet free environment.
