Jill the Talking Doll (With the Enormously Long Neck)

1980s, Toys January 19, 2011 Adam 2 89

Jill seems to be a creepy, tween girl version of Teddy Ruxpin. Let’s lay out a few facts:

Freddy Krueger-esque stripes.
The thin, long neck of a giraffe.
A smile that never fades.
A jaw that barely moves.
Animated arms that flail about.
The height of a toddler with the appearance of a tween.
She has an obsession with being human.
…and worst of all, she also speaks in French.

Honestly… is there one aspect of this toy that doesn’t say “creepy”?

I’m pretty sure this came out when I was in between 23 -25. I’m almost 50 now. What’s that tell ya?! (smile)

They sold these when I worked at Hill’s Dept. Store, in the mid-80s. Creepy isn’t the word.

Watch It!
