Mattel Barbie Talking Townhouse

Product Information

Beyond practical purposes like shielding playsets from dust, I don't keep any packaging--I simply recycle it (in the past, when I've tried to save it needlessly, it took up a silly amount of space and for no purpose). But then, watching the commercial I noticed mine didn’t have the floor button in the shower… nor did it have the switch on the tv console. However, after one afternoon of play I could tell the second floor of this house might eventually break.

In the comments section for the video I linked at the start, one commenter says that she had this house, but her brother broke it after doing a poo on it accidentally.

When Barbie steps in the shower, the sounds of water are activated, and the house asks Barbie about the temperature. Without these technologies, things like personalised recommendations, your account preferences, or localisation may not work correctly.

Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. When I got home, I realized that it had been lightly played with--the chairs, couch, end table, and most of the accessories were gone. It was my first Barbie “dream house” and the wave of nostalgia was so strong after I found these pictures! I purchased for my daughter who then gave it to her cousin and now it's back again for a step sister.

When Barbie puts her access card in the microwave, cooking sounds are activated, and the house converses with her while she cooks. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. I had a vague memory of finding the card to this house with other doll stuff ages before getting the house.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Why go through the effort of bagging the house when it already has a handy cardboard shroud to keep it from getting dusty? Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centers that host Etsy.

The trays, nightstand storage thing, and the comb were all stuffed inside the oven and the dishwasher of my Talking Townhouse.
