I remember I had a teach-to-talk doll in the early-to-mid nineties that you had to teach to speak correctly -- essentially correcting its poor grammar and mispronunciations. I can remember specifically correcting it from saying "baskhetti" to "spaghetti," but nothing else.
The doll was pretty advanced for the time, its face was animatronic, and her eyes would open and shut and her mouth moved when she spoke. Her arms and legs were kind of floppy at the joints but the limbs were hard plastic, and the torso was heavy and solid because that's where her processor was.
You turned her on by pushing against her forehead and if you didn't pay enough attention to her she would plead a few times with a, "Talk to me!" before shutting herself off. I remember scaring my mom a few times with this doll when she did that because I'd leave her on the couch and hide myself so she thought the doll turned itself on.
The doll was blonde with pigtails and wore a pink and yellow footed coverall.
Thanks!
