Mattel sometimes made some really neat Barbie toys. I'm sure a toy typewriter would have been pretty cool, with or without its ability to encode messages!
I remember, as a kid, my sister got a "Talk With Me" Barbie, which was a doll that could be attached to a computer(serial port!) and configured to speak your name with its animatronic mouth. The CD-ROM came with some games that would also trigger the doll to speak. I was a boy, so I really wasn't into Barbie, but I was really wowed by that toy and wished my Star Trek toys could do the same! For its time, it was pretty innovative.
