2001 Gemmy 19” Animated Singing Bing Crosby Santa Doll *Read* For Sale

This 2001 Gemmy Animated Singing Bing Crosby Santa Doll is a perfect addition to your Christmas collection. This vintage Christmas doll/figurine stands at 19 inches tall and has a width of 8 inches. The doll is part of the Gemmy Pop Culture Series and is an original piece manufactured in China. It requires 4-AA batteries and weighs 2.9 lbs. It is designed to look like Bing Crosby, a famous Christmas songwriter, and is perfect for the holiday season. The doll is a collectible item and a must-have for any fan of vintage Christmas decorations.
The fabric on this 23-year-old doll has been well protected over the years with no stains, smudges, or tears - like new condition. There are no visible signs of wear anywhere else as well. There are no issues with the music or songs. The 3 songs play clearly and loudly.
In regard to the animation - As with other seller's postings, I have no idea why Bing Crosby has a hinged mouth because it does not move when he sings. Most all the postings I've looked at indicate that the mouth does not move. He moves his microphone back and forth while singing with no issues.
Please read: I don't know how his head movement and the microphone movement are synchronized, but his head does not move all the time. As you can see in my video, his head was moving during this song as if synchronized with the mic movement, but when the song stopped and I push the button for the next song, his head does not move during the next song - only the mic. I can, however, manually move his head until I can hear the gears turning. I will play a song and his head begins moving. It could be that the gears are wearing due to age.
Please see all photos as well as the video.
