I bought one of these when they came out (huge Pee-Wee fan) and never taking it out of its box, hoping it might have some value someday. Then years later, my toddler son discovered it in a closet and that was the end of the box and the “mint condition”.
But it too had the broken voice box.

I’ll see your talking Pee-wee doll and raise you a talking Mork.

So clever to make the talking part a backpack

after seeing what she went through to just get the voice box out, i’m glad i never succumbed to the thought of taking mine apart to fix it. what a pain!

I usually just use chamomile tea with honey when my voice starts to get scratchy instead of resorting to DIY surgery.

OMG, I have one of these and it’s suffering from the same problem as described in the video. I might see if I can fix mine!
