Three-Faced Doll

Introduced in 1961, her name was "Hedda-Get-Bedda." Twisting a knob changed her face from sick, to well, to sleepy.

I'm surprised no one ever came out with a similar, Exorcist-themed doll. She could have been happy, sleeping, or demonically possessed.

I could imagine a small child having trouble turning the knob on her cap. Yet another toy designed by adults that frustrates kids.

Was this inspired by a Batman character? Two-Face?
