My OLD Boony doll is still alive

[naughts]

This is last years boony doll. Changed the Batteries in it a few weeks ago, Just to see what would happen.
Nothing but silence, Until tonight. "anyone seen my thongs"
Scared the crap out of me.

[BlewThunder]

yeah not uncommon my mates has the same thing. I can't remember if he said it works on radio frequencies or sound frequency....so a number of things can randomly set it off

[Dezza]

One of Boony's went mad about a month ago. He just started making a low pitched growling noise. This went on for about a day before we decided to dismantle him.

i got 5 old ones and hid them in my housemates room, there still there, every now and than like 3 times a month it will go off randomly in the middle of the night lol. Im just got my second carton of VB 2day so ill get the new ones soon :-)

Reminds me of the singing candle that didn't stop. It was a birthday candle and it just kept signing. We blew it out, banged it, etc...but it didn't stop.

We put it in the freezer and listened to the tune slow down and turn into slow motion and when it stopped, we took it out of the freezer and it eventually started signing again.

I've forgotten how we got it to stop in the end. I don't think it lasted the freezer incident after a few times.

Mine has uttered a few words now and then in the past few months - scared the crap out of us at about 130 in the AM
It went beserk about 3 months ago and would not shut up for about 30 mins - like the missus actually out:

[naughts]

Gone off three times tonight
Strange.
Wonder if they are sending signals for the new ones to start talking as the ashes start tomorrow???

The poms don't stand a chance. We'll win 3-0

Lol does anybody want to tell me what it is?

Got me stuffed too?

[Mickus]

Apparently from what I know, when you buy a slab of VB? You get a free boony doll with it and they randomly go off and talk about odd stuff?

Dolls arent free, you can buy 2 slabs of VB and get the dolls for $12 or so, or pay $55 retail without the beer

Got my booney and beefy a few weeks ago, they have been pretty quiet not saying much. I have noticed though when you manually push the talk button there has been new phrases every week. Tomorrow they should fire up, these ones interact with one another

There the new ones as roddez said.

They do say random things, but it will be interesting to see what happens today.

[blueoval]

we got the boony/botham dolls now. still yet to hear them during the game.

[Venomous]

Looks pretty cool.
So how do they work?

[blueoval]

this series has a button at the front which makes them say silly phrases. But I think they work in conjunction with the ashes series during a break, the commenrcials send off a sound thru the tv and makes the dolls talk. I think.

[rodderz]

These ones are a bit different to last year. You take out a tab at the bottom when you 1st get it and all the comments are pre-programmed for the series to say random comments, but you can also manually press a button on both to say a phrase
