Amazing Allysen Interactive Ethnic Playmate Doll

Zowie! Amazing Allysen really is, well, amazing! This large (20 inches tall) doll is programmed to use memory, voice recognition, and sensory technology to interact with her playmates. She asks questions ("Whats your favorite smoothie flavor?") and "remembers" the answers, so that later she can slip it in to casual conversation. (Hey, sounds like shed make a good politician…) When you fix up her hair, she knows whether youre using the headband or barrettes. She chats on her cell phone with pals, and involves you in the discussion (for example, is it time to change her ring tone?). She knows the date and time (after shes been programmed, of course), and will wish you a happy birthday or remind you when its time for a snack. Check out horoscopes with Allysen, play Truth or Dare, take personality or fashion tips quizzes, dress her up, console her when shes sad, discuss dreams, share your fave songs with her… Her face will even register emotions, albeit a bit stilted (she is a plastic doll, after all). Allysen is dressed like a wholesome, perky pre-teen in jeans, pink quilted vest, and purple flowered shirt, and she comes with hair accessories, cell phone, magazine, smoothie, heart-shaped charm, and How to Play guide. Requires three "AAA" batteries and four "AA" batteries (not included).--Emilie Coulter
