Greetings from New Zealand. My wife who's now 40 kept her Cricket doll all these years and now thanks to your video I have managed to get her working again as good as new much to the delight of our 4 year old daughter who is in love with her.
Actually, I must admit that for its time, Corky was a truly technological miracle, it looks great, although quite scary for an adult after seeing the Chucky doll. Nevertheless, it is really impressive. What I like most is that at the beginning this toy itself tells the child how to use it, about the cassettes, buttons and batteries, a great idea (because who reads instructions).
I had a Corky and My Buddy doll when I was a baby and I was obsessed with Child's Play. My mom would find me in her room with the VHS playing with Corky by my side and she hated it 😂😂
Rubber bands rot & break pretty quickly. Replacement drive belts last much longer (may also produce more responsive animation since they have less stretch). ✌
Great video! I want to hook one up to a power supply so it works without batteries. Any ideas on voltages and where to solder it in? Mine takes 4 C batteries and a 9 volt battery so I'm not sure if I can just do 15 volts or if it has to be two seperate power supplies.
Today I bought a corky but I don't know if it works, I will get batteries, but if my mouth fails thanks to your video I will be able to repair it! Cheers
hello!! I finally checked it, bought batteries and turned it on. but!! when I put in a cassette it plays it very fast; (so I will have to open it and check the cassette
Hello by any chance you can help me fix my chucky holloween prop from spirit. The levers that move the head broke is there anything that can be used as a replacement part?
@Bri-B Bri-Bmusic OH snap! Brain surgery, lol 😆 Hum? There must be a way to open it up... sometimes it's just a jammed part. We must turn into Sid from Toy Story 🤪 hard to say what might be going on.
Hi I feel that my Corky's moth is a little bit slow Not sure if this is normal or something wrong. I got it used from Ebay in very good conditions how can I tell if its ok or not ? I compared it with other corky on youtue with same instructions tape and the one on youtube has a faster mouth
@@SpookYouLaterz you are a life saver :) I followed your video step by step. And I changed the rubber of the mouth. I didn't change the one for the eyes because they still move fine. anyway, after changing the rubber, the mouth is now moving perfectly Thanks a million ❤️😍
I have bought a few bags of assorted sized rubberbands and none are small or thin enough for the eyes small rubberband. Please help. Lowes and Home Depot O rings were too thick as well. Thank you kindly!
If he functions off of a cassette tape then somebody should just take recordings of the child's play doll voice and put the cassette tape inside that doll and make it say the stuff from the movie

Hello friends from New Zealand...Cheers! Glad that helped 😁😁😁😁

Lol 🤣 what are instructions 🤣 😂 😅 yes these dolls back in the day were superior 🤪
I love Cricket and Corky, they are both so cute
They are...We got another oldy classic doll coming soon!

Haha! That's awesome...
Hi im.... Corky
And im your friend to the end Hidiho hahaha

I still have my cricket. I need her fixed. 😍
Well maybe this will help assist in her repair...they are exactly the same. Our Cricket just had bad rubber bands 😁
Great video! I want to hook one up to a power supply so it works without batteries. Any ideas on voltages and where to solder it in? Mine takes 4 C batteries and a 9 volt battery so I'm not sure if I can just do 15 volts or if it has to be two seperate power supplies.
Ha! Glad it helped as for voltage not sure. I'm sure it's low unless you want to go all Tim the Toolman Taylor and beef him up lol 😆
What's up with dolls wanting us to be their best friends FOR A LOOOOONG TIME... 'TILL THE END...? 😅
Till the end haha! Forever and forever haha!
I loved my cricket doll! I was obsessed and took her everywhere I went! Lol I don’t know what ever happened to her
Oh no... I'm sure she'll find her way back to you! 😁
Today I bought a corky but I don't know if it works, I will get batteries, but if my mouth fails thanks to your video I will be able to repair it! Cheers
Did it work? Ha...You can do it!!! 😀

Well that's good 👍 Chipmunk Corky lol 😆
Great video and very helpful.
How much do you think a used working Corky is worth ? as I'm planning to get one from ebay.
It varies on who's looking 👀 but $200 to $250 is about the average medium 🎃
your intro made my body take a screenshot
lol 😜
Hello by any chance you can help me fix my chucky holloween prop from spirit. The levers that move the head broke is there anything that can be used as a replacement part?
Hard to say... If your not familiar with mechanical parts, look it up on UA-cam see if a video possibly or a local doll repair shop!
I been searching thats how i found u. I took it apart thinking i could maybe use a servo but i cant or do not see gow i can completely open his head
@Bri-B Bri-Bmusic OH snap! Brain surgery, lol 😆 Hum? There must be a way to open it up... sometimes it's just a jammed part. We must turn into Sid from Toy Story 🤪 hard to say what might be going on.
I need that tiny little spring..
I'd try a doll restorative or watch repair area...they might have small springs. Or older toys that have moving parts that might be broken. 😁
I need to replace one eye for the girl doll. Do you know where I can buy a pair or how to fix
Oh I have no clue... I'd search for doll restoration people in your area! 😉
What can I do if that small spring is missing..
Any ideas on what to do when there’s no movement and sound? I got nothing over here. 😔 Cassette does spin though.
rubber bands on movement...but check this guys out he might have more solutions! ua-cam.com/users/BlakeSenters
@@SpookYouLaterz Blake is awesome
Anyone know where you can get one repaired? Mine the cassette plays, but no sound. Eyes and mouth move fine. Thank you
I'd take it to a radio repair shop...😉
Hi im Corky and I'm your friend till the e-SHOOTS DOLL WITH GUN
Hi
I feel that my Corky's moth is a little bit slow
Not sure if this is normal or something wrong.
I got it used from Ebay in very good conditions
how can I tell if its ok or not ?
I compared it with other corky on youtue with same instructions tape and the one on youtube has a faster mouth
I would just replace all the rubber bands and start from there...
@@SpookYouLaterz you are a life saver :)
I followed your video step by step. And I changed the rubber of the mouth. I didn't change the one for the eyes because they still move fine.
anyway, after changing the rubber, the mouth is now moving perfectly
Thanks a million ❤️😍
I'm just letting you know you can take the spring off
Eu gostaria de ter essas bonecas, sou apaixonado por bonecas que têm mecanismo no rosto!❤
They are cool 😎
I need to try this, but afraid im going to break it
What needs to be repaired if the cassette works but you can't hear him talk every now and then
Not sure,.. we can fix broken rubber bands ha! As for the cassette that more mechanical. Take him to a repair shop.
I have bought a few bags of assorted sized rubberbands and none are small or thin enough for the eyes small rubberband. Please help. Lowes and Home Depot O rings were too thick as well. Thank you kindly!
Dunno...we just found some old rubber bands we keep from opening the kids toys. They always come in handy 😏 😉
If he functions off of a cassette tape then somebody should just take recordings of the child's play doll voice and put the cassette tape inside that doll and make it say the stuff from the movie
Well it’s the same voice actor so they really would be wasting their time doing that
Where can i buy one
We found ours on eBay!
@@SpookYouLaterz ohhhhhh does the company still makes those dolls?
@@SpookYouLaterz and how much is it?
@@AirAddict it's a bidding war lol these are no longer made! 😉
@@SpookYouLaterz darn it
But if this kid could say more why couldn't Good Guys
Corky dolls have a cassette full of sayings 😁
If u put a chucky doll outfit on corky he will look like chucky
Do teddy ruxpin
Haha! I do believe we have him... maybe!!!
The kid from child’s play is named Andy Barclay. So he voiced a doll for the corky doll
Incorrect….that was the characters name. the actual child actor who voiced both corky and the good guy doll was Eden gross
I hated that doll, I used him as a wrestling prop, he got Soo many Hogan leg drops lol
Lol 😂 Hulk Hogan lmao...
