Mattel Barbie Talking Townhouse

Product Information

Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. My daughter and her friend kept leaning on the second floor with their hands and the support structure does NOT appear to be strong enough to handle much weight---it kept on creaking like the plastic was going to snap! While Carbon-Zinc batteries may work well with low-power devices, they can drain after a short period of time and cause certain products to not function properly. I noticed all the little details in my house and came to the conclusion that it must need batteries and found the panel that would have the batteries but couldn’t get it open! PERSONAL FUN FACT: Interestingly enough, I only got a few of these pieces with my actual talking Townhouse!

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. I had a vague memory of finding the card to this house with other doll stuff ages before getting the house.When Barbie steps in the shower, the sounds of water are activated, and the house asks Barbie about the temperature.

Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Although it would have been super-cool to have a talking house, I have the one from 2006, known as the ‘Forever Barbie Townhouse,’ instead of the ‘Talkin’ Townhouse.

Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. The fact that it talks really impresses them and the fact that Barbie "sings" while in the shower is just the coolest thing ever to the girls! It has been better than I expected for the following reasons: (1) the sound mechanism really works, (2) my 7 year old daughter has become quite a whiz with a screw driver and learning to put in and change batteries from playing with this and her Barbie house, (3), she likes putting on the stickers that I find so tedious to stick onto the thing as decorations, and (4) it has fewer itsy bitsy accessories and parts than some other Barbie toys we've purchased - so it's easier to keep track of them. The trays, nightstand storage thing, and the comb were all stuffed inside the oven and the dishwasher of my Talking Townhouse.I purchased for my daughter who then gave it to her cousin and now it's back again for a step sister.

Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centers that host Etsy. She plays with it almost everyday(for almost a year), and it's still all in one piece so I would say it's very sturdy. I know the battery slot is still there because it was made in the original mould, but like …It’s a bit odd.My theory of my doll house for some odd reason just being the same moulding but without the technology was correct! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Releasing a townhouse in 2002 that talks, then releasing the exact same townhouse in 2006, with even the access cards and a place for batteries -expect removing all the talking functions. Why go through the effort of bagging the house when it already has a handy cardboard shroud to keep it from getting dusty?

To finally own it as an almost 26 year old grown woman is astounding (although the term "grown woman" probably doesn't accurately describe me as I am like a big kid).The majority of the items here came from a random doll lot I purchased at the flea market, which also came with the two chairs and the end table. Speaking of that talking feature, it is really obnoxious, and I feel bad for any parent that had to listen to it play over and over again.
