Talk-Back Animation toy series

Outfit7 released a series of animatronic toys known as Talk-Back Animations That were released sometime in 2012. the series featured the original 6 characters from Talking Friends (later TCLOTSAFs): Tom, Angela, Ben, Ginger, Pierre, and Gina (though sometime later, Pierre and Gina became more and more rare to find in store and or online shopping websites). As the series name implies, they repeat back what you say, like in the apps they’re from and also like other talkback ty series. This is perfect for video making and storytelling. each character also had a sensor in their heads, bellies, and an extra Feature for Angela her tail, that has them say phrases and do certain things.

Features
all of them repeat back whatever you say. When you press their left hands (or paws for Tom Angela Ben and Ginger; wings for Pierre, and hooves for Gina), a red light will glow underneath their hands which means they’ve been activated and ready to be used. Their mouths move when they talk (that’s the animatronic part), and will stay on for at least several secounds. After that period of time, they will automatically shut themselves off and the light in their hands will go away as well until the user activates them again. When one touches the 3 sensors on them such as heads belies feet and for Angela only, her tail (Angela’s the only one without a foot sensor), they will say phrases and do things like purr, laugh, hiss and etc.

Certain Growing Rarities
As time went on, most of the characters (Tom Angela Ben and Ginger) for this toy series became more popular. But Pierre and Gina‘s popularity decreased slowly to the point where they became hard to find in stores, as well as online ordering websites such as Amazon.com. In 2014, a mother searched high and low desperate and determined to find a Pierre for her son. She called different places around the world for one, but to no avail, they didn’t have any. This tells you how rare Pierre is and Gina as well. This is similar to the sudden disappearance of Talking Gina’s app.
