I cannot explain to you what this video is worth to me. She stopped talking the day after I received her & I never heard her voice again. To hear Mrs. Beasley's voice is something I never thought I'd hear again, and you gave me that precious gift. Thank you so incredibly much!
@JoanCollins2009 I have an original that does not talk..her box is broken and she is missing her glasses, but is in otherwise good condition. Message me, I WILL take less than 400 lbs for her :*)
i have the more recent mrs beasley voiced by cheryl ladd,they also operate on the same woody doll system the pull string is fake even though it goes into the voice box, but makes contact with the battery voice box ,clever idea without all the parts breaking down
@JessicaKeatonTv1 The original belts don't last and have to be replaced but often times other parts inside wear and break. If you can find a mute doll in great condition she'd be worth having her voice box repaired. I can do it if you are interested. If you're shopping on ebay for a Mrs. Beasley, try to find one that hasn't had the voicebox removed. A lot of times people with no experience try to take them apart and ruin them.
I still have my Mrs. Beasley doll. I saw her a few days ago. I've had her since I was around 3. She doesn't talk when I pull the string. Just fast gibberish now. Her glasses are long gone, but it's still so nice to have her around :)
I just got a Mrs. Beasley Doll at auction this past week (for CHEAP) but she has no glasses and her pull string does not want to retract, it just hangs out, how can I get it to retract with out having to restitch?
@Violetlass Unfortunately the string cannot be retracted without unstitching and opening the voice box. It's a mechanical malfunction inside the box that's causing it, most likely something to do with the spring. If you click on one of my videos that explains the talk box parts, you will see how it's supposed to look/operate. If you take the time to stitch along the original seams, the repair will not be obvious.
@ArtsBoi14 If you view my Tatters video clip, you can see the pullstring better as it's retracting. That should give you an idea of the speed for comparison with your Woody doll.
@VoorheesVillain Thank you very much for returning my comment. I am quite interested in looking into pullstring dolls after seeing a few different ones. I remember Tatters too, my aunt had one but it was in terrible shape and the voice box was wrecked. No it wasn't mute, it still worked but it sounded terrible
I tried to get an origanial Mrs Beasly, but couldn't find one, but i purchased a Mrs Beasly that has the voice of Cheryl someone, sorry i cant remember her name . I received a flyer in the mail and was supprised to see Mrs Beasly tree ornaments and the doll. I bought it right away. Still wish I had the origanial though the voice is just not the same.
I always wanted a Mrs Beasley doll when I was little, then in 2003 I bought one that cost 100 dollars and Cheryl Ladd did the voice, I got an autographed picture of Cathy Garvey who played Cissy on Family Affair. I always wondered what they did with the original one that Anissa Jones had?
OMG- I got this doll when I was 3 years old. The first thing I did was color all over her face. Thanks for posting this- I remember all her sayings and unique voice so vividly now. I would drive my family crazy by pulling the string all night long!!
Thanks for posting how this doll talked. Funny, but this is one doll I never wanted as a kid. I guess because she was a little old lady doll, and I wanted baby dolls that I could be the mother for. lol.
did you ever consider maybe it was mrs. beasley who started all these fires! just kidding, i loved her so much as a child, now i have a reproduction. not the same but glad to have her.
there was a fire in the apartment building we lived in when I was a kid and I remember saying "Don't worry Mrs. Beasley, I won't let you burn" - its kinda strange how some other comments reflect fires as well! Mrs. Beasley now sits in the corner of my room and freaks out all my guests. :)
My mother donated my Mrs. Beasley to a family that was burned out of their home. Even though it was a thoughtful gesture, I missed my doll terribly so I understand what you've gone through. It's nice to know that there are still collectors who have them around and usually you can find them on ebay. I repair their voiceboxes so if you do come across one in good shape and need her voice restored, drop me an email.
LOL...you guys are too funny. This Mrs. Beasley was a doll that I repaired for someone (who didn't have her glasses). I'll have to upload my Mrs. Beasley who DOES have her original glasses!

I have a question about old pullstring dolls, did their string go in slow or fast? The only pullstring related doll I have is a Sheriff Woody doll.
ArtsBoi14 1 year ago
@ArtsBoi14 The strings on the vintage dolls take approximately 3.5-4 seconds to fully retract after each phrase.

@ArtsBoi14 woodys spose to go in fast, im pretty sure because its a newer voice box kinds thing.
Twilight101cp 1 year ago
@Twilight101cp I believe the reason is because the Woody dolls out today have battery operated voiceboxes and don't need the record.
