I have been buying this toy for years my grandson is a special needs boy non-verbal and these little mimic memes are his friends and he talks to them and they talk back it's very difficult to find them this one was the most expensive that I had to buy I'm always searching for them I don't feel comfortable purchasing used toys so the brand new ones are what I buy it's very difficult to find them I actually started buying them at Walmart for $7 on the clearance aisle I say I bought maybe 10 of them so far after a while they just stopped repeating or the last one that I bought the little pink one she didn't last 3 months and the little button inside the foot part broke I wish I knew how to repair them I have so many he's still plays with the ones that don't repeat I don't think people realize what little children need it's not just a toy this one is a friend
