I must say that while I like the idea of an interactive doll my experiences with them so far have not been happy ones. Several years ago I bought “Amazing Amy” by Playmates at Salamanca market. I think I paid about $30 for her.

I must say that while I like the idea of an interactive doll my experiences with them so far have not been happy ones. Several years ago I bought 'Amazing Amy'. Amy: Amazing, Or Annoying? Nearly all 300,000 dolls sold, ranking Amy as one of the top 10 new toys of 1998 and the best-selling special-feature doll. Do you want to learn how to box? Welcome to Boxing for Life!

The first Amazing Amy was released in 1998 and since then Playmates have released other interactive dolls such as “Amazing Allysen”and “Amazing Amanda”. Amy had been well looked after and had most of her food items so I was keen to try her out at home. Amy had a habit of turning herself on automatically, I think I messed up her programming, and we were startled a few times hearing her voice coming from the doll room. I could live with that but what I could not live with was Amy’s manners and her hypochondria.

When she was given her vegetables or something else she did not want to eat she would say “Eww! Mommy.” or “No way Mommy.” I’m sure many mothers can relate to that and on its own I probably would not have been too bothered although I certainly would have been told off for that as a child. Keep in mind that I have never had children of my own so maybe I am not very tolerant. Some of you may think that I’m being silly about this but it annoyed me very much. I never heard my Amy say please or thank you although apparently she does have these words in her vocabulary.

I mentioned this to some other doll collectors I had met online.They thought that she sounded cute. I didn’t find her cute. However, the most disturbing thing about Amy was that she would often ask for medicine!

It was the request I heard most often and I felt like Amy was some kind of hypochondriac doll. When all was said and done not only did I not love Amy I actively disliked her so I sold her on to someone with a little girl who probably had lots of fun with her. I looked for a photo of Amy. I know I took some of her but I think I deleted it after I sold her so here is a YouTube video instead.

It’s quite long. Published by Taswegian1957 Born in England in 1957 my family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains.

Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley.

David passed away in 2015 and I'm here on my own now but I have Cindy the dog and Polly the cat to keep me company. I currently co-write two Wordpress blogswith my sister Naomi. Our doll blog 'Dolls, Dolls, Dolls', and a 'Our Other Blog' which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. Post navigation. Lol, a whining hypchondriac, just what everyone needs in their lives, so not. I wonder how long this doll plague was on the market? I don’t like whiny children either and my kids learned early, that whining did not get them what they wanted.

If she would say please when she wants something, she would be a great way to teach children good manners. I’m not a fan of her face though and that hole in her chest makes her look a little cyborg. I came to Australia with my mother and sister Vanda in 1966 from the UK aboard the Sitmar liner Castel Felice.

We settled in South Australia I lived in the western suburbs of Adelaide for most of my life. I became very interested in retro items in my twenties. It was always a dream of mine to have an old house and fill it with retro items. I have done it twice now.

My main interest is collecting old things. They do not have to be valuable, only interesting.

There is something reassuring about old retro items. I have all sorts of things including doll related items. My other interests are my beautiful pets, art and going for drives to who knows where. I also enjoy board games or doing a scenic jig saw puzzle on a wintry afternoon by the fire. My goal is to travel a bit more as there are some places I would love to see About Vanda.
