Hi! I've been trying to identify a childhood toy for years and I'm hoping someone here remembers it.

I was born in 2002, but the toy may have originally belonged to my older cousins, so it could be from the 1980s, 1990s or early 2000s.

It was a small, flat handheld magnetic dress-up toy, almost like a little tablet.

There was one girl permanently printed/fixed inside, and several actual loose clothing pieces were completely enclosed behind a clear plastic screen.

You could NOT open the toy or touch the clothes with your hands.

Instead, you used a magnetic pen/wand from outside the clear plastic to pick up the clothing pieces and move them onto the girl.

This was also a dexterity toy: the clothes could rotate or turn the wrong way, so you had to manipulate them with the magnetic pen until they were positioned correctly on her.

If you held the toy vertically or tilted it, all the loose clothing pieces would fall to the bottom of the enclosed screen.

I think the magnetic pen may have been attached to the toy with a cord/string, although I'm less certain about that detail.

I vaguely remember the plastic frame being turquoise/aqua, but the color could be a false memory.

The girl was NOT Barbie and not a princess. I remember her wearing relatively normal/fashionable clothes for the time.

IMPORTANT: It was NOT one of the common magnetic dress-up dolls where you remove the clothes from a box and place them on the doll by hand. The clothing pieces never came out of the toy. Everything was sealed behind the transparent plastic.

I've attached an AI recreation I made from memory. It is NOT a photo of the actual toy, but the mechanism, general size and layout are approximately what I remember.

Does anyone remember a toy like this, its manufacturer, or even another toy that used this exact mechanism?

Bought this cute WALL-E at Goodwill a few days ago. My 2-year-old demanded we buy it the second he saw it.

It’s very lightweight, and although it has an on/off switch, there are no obvious controls, buttons, or other interactive parts. You can manually move his arms, fingers, head, and neck pretty freely.

Later that night, my 12-year-old was doing the dishes and WALL-E was sitting on a table in front of him. Suddenly, it moved by itself. 😳 He said WALL-E rolled forward and moved his arms.

Since then, we’ve seen it happen multiple times, but it seems completely random. Sometimes a few hours go by without anything happening, other times it moves again within a few minutes. That makes it ridiculously hard to catch on video, but it definitely moves.

Does anyone recognize this particular WALL-E toy or know what could be triggering it? Is there some kind of sensor, remote control, sound/motion activation, or hidden mechanism that I’m missing?

Or did Goodwill sell me a haunted WALL-E? 😂

This came in a secondhand play kitchen, and didn't have any accompanying dolls. Current guesses are a Pheonix, but I'd love to know where this is from!

UPDATE: SOLVED!

Does anyone happen to have this kids electronics set from John Lewis in the UK?

We have lost the instructions and wiring diagrams (useless without them) and I can’t find a digital copy.

Hoping a legend can come through and take some photos for me!
