Yep - it's seven inches of plastic comedy. It's the "Bad Vibes" Talking 'toy'... a.k.a. "Ever-Ready Freddy". Here's Kelly, with the product:
Bad Vibes:
When you open the box, the slightly naff American male voice will play one of the four pre-programmed bits of audio. Phrases are as follows:
- 'Go away, I've got a headache'
- 'Sorry, I have to get up early tomorrow'
- 'Mmm, you're looking cute tonight honey'
- 'Hell, can't you get a real man?'
At the time of recording, Freddy wasn't available via the www.menkind.co.uk but they were in stock at their Lakeside store. We've also found them at a site called ThePresentShop
We hope you found our little mystery gadget audio amusing., . We sure had fun recording it
