  • Welcome to another special unboxing video. This one was most exciting as I opened something I didn’t even know existed until recently. Much is still unknown and to be discovered, but it looks like in 1986 Playmates Toys made a Japanese version of Talking Cricket, but named her Amy instead. I can’t ready the translation but she is called Good Morning Amy.
    While very similar in looks, she does have several different features on her face.
    This is such a unique doll to find and I’m so happy I found one new in box. She is a great addition to the clubhouse and now she is here archived for all to enjoy for many years to come!

    I used Google translate on the box, and the text translates to, “Good Morning Amy! Let’s play and have fun together. Friends with hearts full of dreams”, on the front. The back is just talking about what she can say and what she can do. It’s cool to see all the different kinds of Cricket.

    Good afternoon
    Congratulations on such a wonderful purchase! It was very unexpected.😃
    I am the same subscriber who then wrote to you about the Japanese version of Cricket.😊
    My Amy is in working order, but there is a small problem. The mechanism chews the cassette film. I would be grateful if you record a video with instructions on how to fix this problem.
    I also have an American Cricket, but it is in perfect condition. I dream of buying Jill, but I haven’t found it yet.
    Thanks for the interesting video!
    With love from Russia🥰

      Oh yay! Thank you so much for sharing this as nobody knew she existed! I was very lucky to just find one out of the blue so quickly. I love you still have yours! Ugh but I hate she’s eating tapes. That’s the worst. I’ve not had to fix one myself, but it has to do with the pinch roller. So if you open the deck and play it without a tape, you will see it come down. It basically pulls the tape out of the cassette itself. It might just needed a good cleaning! Yes Jill is fantastic but so expensive and hard to find. I have faith you will find one eventually though. Don’t give up hope! 🙂🙂

    Hey! I fixed my cricket by replacing her bands since her mouth didn’t move, and now it moves but it isn’t lipsyncing. it’s just constantly moving even if she’s not talking. have you had this problem? i’ve heard you talk about things that are messed up with the circuit board that you would have to do diagnostics on and i don’t have the stuff for that either, do you think it’s related to that?

    • @cricketandcorkysclubhousef8686
      @cricketandcorkysclubhousef8686  2 месяца назад +1

      Hmm it could be the board but possibly some other things to try. Clean the tape head where the cassette tape touches to play. You can get the metal part to pop out if you hit play with no tape in the player and the door open. Just clean it with some household rubbing alcohol. Also use that alcohol to wipe down all the battery terminals as well. See if those tricks work!

      I'm thoroughly convinced she was the prototype for Amazing Amy who was released in 1998 by the same company: Playmates~ 🤷‍♀️ As for her school uniform / outfit. It's similar to actual Japanese school uniforms especially with the plaid skirts back then. Also Japan has alway's taken there educational system seriously along with dress code having to wear school uniforms where as over here (North America) the only time I had to wear a school uniform in the 90's was when I went to Christian private school my cousin's on my mom's side were going to catholic private school & had to wear plaid jumpers / plaid overall dresses very similar to Japanese school uniforms. 🤷‍♀️ I was confused when transferring to starting public school as to what to wear so ended up wearing my old school uniform at public school & was told by one of the teacher's: Your allowed to dress casual here if you want. 🤷‍♀️✌️
