What was the name of the plastic doll from probs 70s/80s who used to say things like “I’m so silly” and “Carry me I’m portable”?

I’ve found a pic of one but it doesn’t say her name!

I still have mine!

one phrase is “my feet are moving closer!”
and another is “neeeaaaw … goddit” (like she has thrown and caught her own head).

I had the blonde one as well

In fact she's sitting in the lounge right now (came here after we cleared my parents' house and has been Creepy Doll Glimpsed Through Window ever since)

She was called Poppet (I know this because I was a very biddable child and that's what I was going to call her, until Christmas afternoon when Great-Uncle George pronounced that no she was a Felicity)

After being landed on when someone jumped off the bunk bed she developed a very growly voice which was quite creepy especially when saying I'm so hungry mummy

I was going to record it for the socials but her voice has completely gone now😭

I am not generally a nervous person and in fact grew up in the 70s but those are bloody TERRIFYING!’
