Susie Scribbles Years produced: 1987 Company: Wonderama Toys, Inc Units made: Original price: $70.00 each course $20 each Susie Scribbles, a blond female figure, was created by the Wonderama Toy Company of New Jersey. A specially recorded two-track cassette tape was used to produce both audio signals and special motor control signals that would drive three servomotors. These motor signals drove a robotic arm with three joints - a shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Susie could both write and draw. Susie Scribbles is designed to actually write with a pencil! When her power is turned on her mechanical right arm moves back and forth and her hand really does hold a pencil. While she "writes", Susie seems to speak as her tape plays. (Her mouth was never designed to move and neither were her eyes, which are stationary. In her siting position she measures about 15" tall and weighs almost 4 lbs. This character sold for about $70, and included a desk, paper and introductory tape. The subject content of the cassette tapes was more scholastic than any previous toys. Ideally, a child would have his own pencil and paper, drawing along while Susie demonstrated their "scribbling." Besides tapes of Mother Goose stories and nursery rhymes, there were also tapes devoted to math, spelling, French language, history, the alphabet, and connect-the-dot art. The robot arm on Susie performed beautifully but were relatively fragile. Includes 4 tapes shown in picture paid $80 for all 4 Works great! Would make a great Christmas gift!
