Still Waters Posted September 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2018 During his 69-year career as an inventor, Thomas Edison acquired a jaw-dropping number of patents (1,093 to be exact). Among them: the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, and the movie camera. But make no mistake: There were some stinkers too. You might say that the Wizard of Menlo Park met his Waterloo in 1890, with the invention of a 22-inch cherub, known today as the Edison Talking Doll. Edison figured the toy would be a great way to demonstrate the at-home entertainment possibilities of his then-spanking-new wax cylinder phonograph. Instead, all he succeeded in doing was creeping people out. https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/09/18/edisons-doll/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oniomancer Posted September 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I picked up a vintage barbie at a yard sale this spring that turned out to have a similar story. It's the first and only sleepy-eye barbie ever made. They apparently didn't sell well because the face creeped kids out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
