where'd ya get those peepers?
Jeepers creepers
where' d ya get those eyes?"
"Pretty Peepers" dolls were made for almost 3 years from 1957, and have the same knee joints as the bent knee doll with the mama box. Peepers voice box was replaced with a roller mechanism in the head activated from a chest plate that, when depressed, changed the colour of the eyes from blue to brown. The sequence went from flirting left then right, before looking forward and changing from blue to brown and repeating over again each time the plate was pressed. These knee jointed dolls are now quite difficult to find, presumably due to the short time they were in production and the number of breakable parts.
