talking doll

Vocal plaything figure

A talking doll is a toy doll equipped with a mechanism that produces speech or sounds—historically through pull-strings activating internal recordings, now often through digital chips.

The phrase sometimes describes a person who repeats what others tell them without independent thought: She's just a talking doll for the party leadership.
