I had some batteries here, and I heard Nelson Mandela say about 3 phrases before those batteries went dead. I'll have to get some new batteries. In the meantime, I've left him in his boxers, so I'll probably take more photos at a later date to show his articulation.RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-89127107134311578882016-06-30T15:21:38.927-05:002016-06-30T15:21:38.927-05:00Whatever is going on in there is probably just a c...Whatever is going on in there is probably just a case of a dead battery. He requires one of the disk batteries. I don't remember the size, but the box should indicate. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartment, if memory serves me correctly. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-25530590905014519552016-06-29T21:34:09.606-05:002016-06-29T21:34:09.606-05:00Thank you, Ms. Leo!

She noted in one of her books that Mandela arrived at her home on May 6, 2009. I ordered mine on May 10, 2009. I'm pretty sure that wasn't a coincidence. :) I find it bizarre that the toy manufacturer decided to make his eyes green. Nelson Mandela's eyes were not green.RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-72584876498539862932016-06-29T21:30:36.112-05:002016-06-29T21:30:36.112-05:00Thank you, jSarie!

I need to get him a battery, and I am extremely nervous to open any battery compartment on the doll at this point, but that's something that I need to do since it's on my mind. I don't want to go several more years and have whatever situation is going on in there to get worse. I took my doll out years ago for a series of photos called "4 Presidents", and I thought that I had posted it to this blog, but I didn't. I've shared one of the photos above.RoxanneRoxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079345476722203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151470353346020825.post-74855068766095571142016-06-29T12:11:15.485-05:002016-06-29T12:11:15.485-05:00Very nice!

Except for photos taken for the <a href="http://blackdollcollecting.blogspot.com/2013/02/nelson-r-mandela-ltd-ed-talking-action.html" rel="nofollow">post</a> I wrote about him a few years ago, mine never leaves his box either for the same reason: his historical significance. I did buy a replacement battery for my figure, who was mute at the time my post was written. I enjoy the fact that the recording is in the actual voice of Nelson R Mandela.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.com
