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.

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.

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 |

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.

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
