Rosie the Singing Topiary
The White version of Rosie in action
The Red version of Rosie
Rosie is a Singing Topiary made in 1998. She comes in 3 different colors: Red, white and pink. She opens and closes her eyes and mouth and waves her leaves side to side while singing "Somewhere over the rainbow". Rosie would activate through sound or motion that it detected.
Trivia[]
- Like Sunny the singing sunflower, Rosie is somewhat similar to Douglas Fir
- Rosie can be powered by 3 C size batteries or a 4.5 Volt AC/DC adapter
- Each one of Rosie's leaves are attached by a flexible wire that can be bent and shaped into a desired position (I made a mistake, only her stem and the leaf attached to the end of the stem have the metal wire. The rest of her leaves are attached by flimsy plastic)
- Just like Sunny, Rosie has black eyelashes at the end of her eyelids which can be hard to notice when looking at videos or images of her
- Unlike Sunny, Rosie's eye pattern has never been used on any other Gemmy animatronic
- While it could just be her main stem being loose and her leaves moving her around it does look like her main stem has some type of rocking mechanism attached to it
- Rosie's tongue is actually made out of a felt material similar to the Douglas Fir's
- The Rosie on the front of the retail box is a prototype, it has a white area around the eyes and is missing a rose that goes between the eyes and the mouth
