I was a child in the 1950’s, and your review of some of the dolls from that decade brought back a lot of memories. I wasn’t interested in baby dolls, and neither were my friends; we mainly played with one of the dolls not on your list, the 8 inch Ginny doll by the Vogue Company and her cousins Wendy by Madame Alexander and Muffie by the Nancy Ann Storybook Doll Company-all companies started by women entrepreneurs like Ruth Handler. Ginny was extremely popular and was the fashion doll of her era; just like Barbie you could buy her in minimal clothing and then choose from dozens of separate outfits for every occasion. My Ginny had a Girl Scout outfit, a Netherlands girl’s outfit complete with wooden shoes, a lacy party dress with a real zipper, and a Clown suit for Halloween. There was also furniture for her, and playsets, as would be sold for Barbie. Ginny also had an older sister, Jill, who was the same size as Little Miss Revlon and a slew of copycats including Madame Alexander’s Cissette (cheaper than Cissy but with clothing just as beautiful). Jill also had an extensive wardrobe for every occasion. (These dolls are all highly collectible today.) Another type of “doll” we boomer children loved to play with was based on comics. Betty and Veronica from the Archie comics had their own comic books and in most issues there were paper dolls to cut out. These paper dolls were built like Barbie, and little girls loved them. Another comic featured Katy Keene, who was a high fashion model, and her comic book not only featured paper dolls but girls could actually send in their own fashion designs and see them published in the books. And you could also send away for full size black and white paper dolls of Katy and her friends with outfits to color and cut out. My girlfriends and I spent many happy summer days on our porches in that activity. I have read that it was, in fact, seeing her daughter Barbara engaged in just such happy play that gave Ruth Handler the idea for Barbie.
I just googled dolls you've mentioned - so cute! Thank you so much for sharing this :)
You just walked me down memory lain. I had other dolls, but the Ginny dolls were my favorite. You could buy all kinds of of clothes and furniture for them. I collect them now.
Yes, yes, yes!!! 😄👍👍👍
Omg.....I have beautiful memories of summer days with my baby dolls. I am 65 years old and I just relived those precious moments . Watching this video and reading your beautifully 😍 ❤ written comment...made me feel 10 year's old again. Thanks my friend! ❤
This is one of the best RUclips comments I’ve ever seen.
I really like some of the doll commercials of the 1950’s. The original Barbie ad is very elegant, and the other dolls adverts are very whimsical.
So do I. I also happen to have some of the aforementioned dolls. 😊😁
In the 50's, doll hair was not usually "washable" because of the glues used. You could wash the hair, but it could fall off (in clumps), and so manufacturers didnot advertise washable hair. Good information about the dolls.
❤❤❤❤
Mohair
Chatty Cathy was the inspiration for the Talking Tina episode from The Twilight Zone (as someone else said Tina was also voiced by the same actress who voiced Cathy which was the June Foray aka Rocky The Flying Squirrel from Rocky & Bullwinkle) which in turn became the inspiration for Goosebumps icon Slappy The Dummy, the Child’s Play franchise, possibly M3GAN and parodied in one of the Simpsons Treehouse Of Horror episodes.
Absolutely one of the creepiest episodes ever.
Oh, how I wanted a chatty Cathy doll, my mother couldn't afford it.
So adjusted for inflation, the Sweet Sue doll would be around $90.00 today!! I also look at vintage dolls in catalogs or advertisements & think how inexpensive they are; especially when you consider the detail & quality. Then you adjust for inflation & they were not really affordable. A $4 outfit for Barbie in 1959 would be around $40 today! Parents must have asked Santa for a lot of help financially.
Well, I guess I can stop wondering why I rarely got any of those beautiful outfits in the little catalogs that I was always pointing out to my mom! Washcloths, paper towels, t.p. , yarn, and a lot of imagination were often used instead!
Ok so for the miss revlon and little miss revlon it was an add campaign for their lipstick. She had 3 collections "queen of diamond, kissing pink, and cherries a la mode". Then in 1957 and 58 they made a catalog exclusive collection called snow pink. It was said their lips were the colors of the lipstick collection they were in. Not sure it was true since they all kinda look the same
I had a Miss Revlon doll, and the much smaller Little Miss Revlon. They had rooted hair that you could wash & style, unlike the Ginny dolls that had glue on wigs. If you messed around with their hair too much, it became matted. Mom was able to get new wigs for our Ginnys for a while. Oh, and I believe the Toni doll was connected to the Toni hair products line. She had rooted hair too.
I always found glass eyed dolls that weren't looking straight forward to be creepy. Like, what are you looking at? Why are you looking over my shoulder?!
Even a My Little Pony toy i had once had glass eyes, and I swear the way they seemed to follow me around the room was nightmare fuel to me at the time.
The voice actress who did Chatty Cathy also did Talking Tina from the Twilight Zone.
Talking Tina with Kojack before he became Kojack ! Awesome movie but creepy !!!!
Yes, they were both voiced by June Foray, the Queen of Cartoon Voices.
Love that episode!!!
I was born in 1956, and had a doll loving mother. Naturally she got me a Barbie as soon as she was available. Barbie and her friends had fabulous clothes, well designed and well constructed from quality fabrics. The cheap,stretchy neon colored tatty clothes of modern Barbie just makes me want to weep!
Ooooh this sounds like a fun series! Can't wait 'til we get to the 80s, so many cool and cute dolls debuted in that decade (some have endured, some have fallen into obscurity).
Also you're new haircut looks great!
Edit: (4:15) According to a quick Google search, $7.98 in the 50s is the equivalent of $94.27 in 2022.
I'm right there with you! Looking forward to the next one already.
Basically like an American Girl of the time eh
@@SailorMoonFan92 I did say a quick Google search; I never said it would be 100% accurate, lol. But thanks for the correct price.
I will apologise and say I did in fact make a mistake. The actual value would be $89.82. So quite a bit closer to your estimate which would indeed be accurate with tax included.
@@SailorMoonFan92 Lol, no worries. :)
back in 55, the Cissy doll was very expensive and even back then it was mostly adult doll collectors who bought it. Alexander would just use them to advertise her cheaper dolls. Today they are still made and they are outrageously expensive.
Interesting - while I have no doubt there have been adult doll collectors since the creation of the first doll, I've often wondered when the market for it was discovered. Silly of me, since I also vaguely remember hearing there were Gladiator dolls that ancient Roman fans collected.
I inherited about a dozen of the Cissy doll from an older aunt when I was a child. They were in glass cases, so they didn't seem like mine. Not for play. My mother sold them in the 90s. For a kid in the 70's they weren't appealing.
You should have looked it up. She was a child star of the 1930s after 1940 her career began to fall and she struggled to make a transition to adult movie star. She did a few films as an adult. She later got involved in politics. As an adult, she too was a doll collector.
Glad you said it for me.
Love the hair! The dolls hair in the 50s were made out of saran instead of mohair so you could wash and style the hair. They also started rooting the hair into the vynil intead of wigging the dolls.
I didn't have an original Barbie with the pony tail, but my friends did. With those early Barbies you had to keep the ponytail intact. No other hairstyle was possible because her hair was only rooted around the edges of her hairline, and if you took off it out of the rubber band, she had a big, bald head surrounded by long hair falling straight down.
My mom enjoyed your video too,, she's 70. She had mostly all of the dolls as a child in the 50s. Looking forward to the next video. Also your new hair cut looks fabulous😍
They advertise the hair washing because they used to use wigs with glue and they would fall off if wet
I like the Madame Alexander dolls and Barbie, of course. I was born on the exact day Barbie was first marketed, so I'm an original Barbie :) ;) I had some of the first Barbie's ever made that my mother purchased for me, and I wish I still had them as I still love those original faces and styles. My collection disappeared long ago and I'm not sure what happened to them. Great video and I love this new idea you have
Prefer Barbie better tbh
I'm currently reading the book Barbie and Ruth and I have to say I was quite shocked when reading that Mattel (or Ruth technically) straight up stole the design of Barbie from Bild Lilli 😂 you would not get away with that kind of thing today..
It's wild to me how directly she copied it - since there were no other teen/adult looking fashion dolls on the market at the time (AFAIK), she literally could have made it look like anything. A little less provocative body shape and more subtle makeup would probably helped her launch it a little easier too.
I love the raggedy Ann and Andy. They're so cute and so sweet. I wish we still had them today.
Yeah? Rumors had it that Raggedy Ann reminds me of Annabelle, the scariest haunted doll ever. She kills people, but the exorcists placed Annabelle in the cage and she remained locked in for many years.
Me too.
I had a raggedy Ann doll and I loved her
I was born in 1949. I have traveled back through my childhood this morning, listening to and watching your videos while I try to make sense of my daughters' Barbies from the 1980's! You are a genius! I have my original Revlon dolls and Ginny Dolls from the 1950's, I will send some photos. I remember my Mother's bridge club commenting on the Revlon's doll's nipple-less breasts. She really was extraordinary, for the times.Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the information and for the memories.!
I love the idea of this series. Very informative and interesting to see how the fashion doll industry began to shape its way. The reference to Megan, LOL! Love the new haircut.
I am 77 yo, when around 6 yo I got a Toni doll which had human hair, included sugar water and metal curlers to pretend a perm. I also received clothes from my 2 aunts a cowgirl outfit, bride dress, coat with hat, majorette outfit, some clothes came with the doll. I also got a Ginny doll with 3 outfits from my aunts. I still have my original dolls. Now I have gotten a couple of Toni dolls at 2nd hand stores. Wonderful memories, I was not girl that played with dolls but the hair was something I really loved.
I love hearing doll related stories! Can’t believe Toni had human hair. That’s crazy! Thank you for watching
Betsy McCall is a ball and socket doll and continues to be highly sought after even now. I love her.
I have one but all the bands in her body have deteriorated. She needs to be restrung.
I only remember the paper dolls in McCall's magazine. in the Raggedy Ann stories, there are about a dozen dolls of different types. When the people are away, the dolls get into all sorts of adventures - but they have to be more or less back in the places their people our them when the people return, sometimes resulting in a mad scramble to get back, get cleaned up, and to get any rips in them or their clothes mended. Yes, there was a mammy doll in their group, and a baby doll that would tumble over and over and cry "Mama".
Ahhhh yeah, now we're in one of my favorite wheelhouses! So, let me start with your first question: Couldn't they wash a doll's hair before this? No, absolutely not, for a few reasons. The first is that a lot of hair was made with wool and other natural fibers, and you know what happens to wool after it gets wet and dries, right? It shrinks up, and that's exactly what would've happened to the wigs. Second, they were usually pre-styled into wig caps, rather than rooted hair. Third, a lot of early dolls were made of "composite" material. This is a misleading term used for a mixture of sawdust and glue. If you got them wet, well it wasn't pretty. Also that Sweet Sue doll's price adjusted for inflation actually makes her nearly $100 at the time. Such dolls were considered luxury items. In fact, that's still what most of the dolls in decent shape go for now, so they've retained their value surprisingly well.
Once PVC bodies and saran hair came around that's truly when dolls took off. I can't wait for you to get into the 60's, especially the IDEAL dolls. Love them so much.🥰
Ah, the other questions!: Shirley Temple-Black actually approved of the dolls in her image in the 50's, even though she was very much an adult by that point. She had an earlier line of dolls in the 30's and 40's made of composite and mohair (a goat wool, which does shrink terribly). They all remain VERY popular collector items.
Yes, the Miss Revlon doll was a tie in with the makeup and perfume lines, and are also extremely popular collector items.
I was absolutely blessed to be bequeathed a Cissy doll, a Sweet Sue doll, a Nancy Lee doll (you didn't go over these, but you should totally look them up. They started in the 30's and 40's with the original Shirley Temple dolls and were also made of composite.) and a #2 Brownette Bubble Cut Barbie when my doll mentor, Dottie, died in 2000. Hubby and I are still working on our house, so I haven't had them out for display for many many years.
Anyways, can't wait for you to get to the 60's! Dawn dolls, Tammy and Pepper, Chrissy and Velvet, Barbie and her massive entourage! I hope you have a lot of fun diving into the decade! 🤩
I can already tell I'm gonna enjoy this new series. I can't wait to see the next decade.
Thank you for yet another educational walk down memory lane. And the haircut looks amazing!
It's true Bild Lili was first started as a comic strip and then 'adult' themed doll, but she ended up being a fashion doll that was definitely used by children. She even had separate fashions you could buy and dress her up in. Bild lili became so popular in Europe, other countries started making knock offs. When Ruth handler went to Germany, she actually completely stole bild lily's idea. She 'created' barbie which was almost identical to Bild Lili, minus maybe two things, like making the shoes removable. I'll always love Barbie, but Ruth wasn't a good person and the idea of a fashion doll to dress up like barbie, originated from Bild Lili, not Ruth Handler... Kinda like how she started Barbie and the Rockers to destroy Jem and the Holograms. 🙃
I've seen a few tv shows about Barbie/Mattel, and yeah, they don't have a good track record of doing original and playing fair. It's annoying that she didn't even really try to create a new doll for the American market but copied so directly. A little less provocative body shape, more subtle makeup, and she could have had an original look and been easier to launch here.
Sissy, and all of the Madame Alexander doll's were very upscale, expensive dolls. I remember receiving my Madame Alexander Dolls for Christmas every year. They cost around $65.00 or more in the early 60's.
I love Madame Alexander dolls! I have a Scarlett O'Hara doll by her with blinking eyes.
@@rubyhay450 , all of their dresses were made with such intracut detail, along with very nice material's.
Nice summary of the dolls of the 50s. Loved them all. Each was unique and had wardrobes. The wardrobe of Barbie was affordable. Because of the fashion aspect, I played with her until I was 13.
My mother had Little Miss Revlon. My great grandmother made clothes for her. She had everything! Travel clothes, party clothes, a wedding dress. Mom kept such good care of her that I got to play with her and so did my own daughter. She even stood on my wedding reception gift table in her wedding clothes. With Great grandma's clothes, she was the most fashionable doll any of us owned.
Love the hair cut! I started my Barbie collection with the Pony Tail Barbie. I was a little girl back then. I still love them and have quite a collection. I love the Made to Move dolls best, though my 1950's doll holds top place in my collection because she was a Christmas gift from my mother.🙂 My sister had Patty Play Pal. When we got older my mom would stand her behind the living room window dressed in a cute outfit and I can't tell you how many times it freaked me out standing there! She'd always looked like a little girl, and I'd come home from school wondering who she was then I'd realize she was Patty.😄
Chatty Cathy was voiced by famous voice actress June Foray. She was also the voice of Talky Tina in the classic Twilight Zone episod3 Living Doll.
Your hair looks amazing! I love the new hairstyle on you!
Also yes yes yes to turning this into a series. I love your videos.
I'm so glad that when I grew up (90's to early 2000s) we had much more variety. I was never really interested in baby dolls, but loved (and still do!) fashion dolls. I find it so weird that we give little girls baby dolls like "learn to look after babies because you'll have your own one day"
I have a Betsy McCall doll from the 50s! It was my grandma’s. I have the box and all the clothes too. One of my most cherished collection pieces ❤ she’s so underrated!!
I am a new sub. You look handsome in your new haircut. So I still have my DAWN DOLLS !! Please look it up !! Came out in the mid 1960 she is shorter then Barbie . However, just as elegant & beautiful!!!! Maybe even more !!!! And the hair is still long, silky & shiny as well !!!! Blessed 2023 to all the viewers !!
Thanks for subscribing! I have put Dawn on my list for the next video in this series! She looks so great! ❤️
I’m glad you’re doing some flashbacks. My first Barbie was a brunette bubble cut. I was 6.
Same
I liked my Ginny doll. My grandmother sewed so many outfits for this doll. She lived in California and we were in Nebraska and without a pattern. Still have her in a box. I never washed the hair of my Sweet Sue doll, still looks lovely.
I wish I had my original Barbie, Ken, Skipper, Midge, Francie, and Chatty Cathy
I had the same dolls as you except I had Alan not Ken😂
They are all beautiful, and Raggedy Ann and Andy are beautiful and so loving.
You might be interested in learning about the French and German bisque porcelain dolls of the late Victorian/Edwardian Era. They were fashion dolls, too, Lady and child. Frances Hodgson Burnett describes one in her book, The Little Princess.
In my neighborhood we played with whatever dolls were available at the dime store. Some girls liked to do "mommy" things, they got dolls they could bathe, give bottles to, etc. Other girls liked to change clothes, so they got dolls with a lot of clothes.
I enjoyed watching Till this day and I'm almost 66 I LOVE dolls I had the original barbie my sister had tint tears my parents were antique dealers and my dad brought home a shirley temple doll This brought back alot of fond memories of my childhood Looking forward to your next video
my mom has several Patty's and Patty knock offs and they're wearing my childhood clothes. She has the boy one too in my brother's clothes . She went to get one fixed at a doll show and put her on the couch when we got home . My cat decided to sit on her lap like a person !!
That's so cute.
I love the intro and your hair Joey!! Can't wait for the rest of the series❤
This was so fun! Definitely one to watch again with the whole family! Can’t wait til you get to the 70s my childhood decade. ❤
Just wanted to note that Shirley Temple was a child star in the 1930s. Her movies were played on TV in the 1950s making her popular again with children. So new dolls were created. You should look into the 1930s composition dolls of her. I finally got one for myself when I turned 30. It was a lifelong wishlist item. I’m a major Shirley Temple fan. ❤
This brought back a lot of childhood memories. My sister had a Betsy McCall doll, she was the "mascot" of McCall's magazine which was a very popular magazine in the postwar era for mothers and Betsy and her friends and accessories were made by Ideal Toys. My sister also had Ginny and Jill dolls, a younger sister and older teenage sister set that were made by Vogue Dolls. Jill was a direct predecessor of the Barbie doll, but Barbie changed everything. I was a little gay boy back then and was overwhelmed in the toy department of all the stores with the selection of Barbie dolls available in various hair colors (and later hair styles including the Bubble Cut and the Page Boy) and the amazing Fashion Packs of fabulous outfits! I didn't have one of my own until many years later but really loved playing with Barbies. Great series and btw your hair looks terrific! Cheers~
Barbie did indeed bring an end to that type of 10" fashion doll. Vogue had Jill & Jan, American Character had Toni, Ideal had Little Miss Revlon, Uneeda had Suzette, and I think Arranbee had Miss Coty/Circle P. Also Miss Nancy Ann and Horsman's Cindy.
fun fact: Raggedy ann doll is the original annabelle doll.
I just did a money calculation and that Patti PlayPal that was £19.77 if it was released today it would cost you £588.52!!!!
Love your new look Joey ❤
I love your videos because they are both fun and informative - and you are a lovely human being! Stay safe and creative and keep on sharing! 🌈💐🤗
The Playpal family of dolls included oldest brother Peter, Patty, Penny, and twins representing 3 months.
Ahh yes Bild Lili….thanks for paving the road to Barbie❤️
I had the original pony-tailed Barbie in the striped bathing suit. Also had Tiny Tears. By the way, “far out” is from the 70s. I was there. 😊 I really enjoyed your video, as I was a child in the 50s and I loved dolls. Still do!
Born in 1952 and I recall cool and neat when I was growing up
Great idea - Dolls of the decades!
I’m a teacher and found this video to be super educational! Plus I’m a Barbie lover and History Buff so this video was Perfect!🤓 Thank you!🤩
Love the hair cut! Looks very stylish :) Most ridiculous about the "train to be a housewife" them of the dolls is that it was much more common in that era for kids to be involved with housework at a very young age, including taking care of their younger siblings. Why would they want another butt to wipe lol.
On movie star tie ins: I swear I heard somewhere that the ancient Romans made and sold gladiator dolls, mostly to adoring female fans, so as long as there have been celebrities, there have been toy versions of them probably .
The new haircut really brings out your eyes, it's a very flattering cut.
I got Bluey toys for Christmas and I am happy to have them and my Barbies at age 57
Barbie dolls had changed a lot during all these years but I wonder what new doll lines will come out
Joey,I like the same dolls that you liked and disliked the ones that you disliked.A few of the Shirley Temple dolls were okay looking. Some of the more recent Shirley Temple dolls are better looking than the old ones. My baby doll that I had when I was little(early 1970's) was similar to the Betsy Wetsy doll, she had very pale possibly platinum blonde or white hair. She was cute. She was a larger sized. Baby doll. Somewhere between 12 and 16 inches tall.
Hello Joey. Nice hair cut. I had a Tiny tears when I was a little girl. My Mum made very beautiful outfits for her. I named her Rosebud. That must have been about 1966. Keep safe. Jane in New Zealand 🇬🇧🇳🇿
My older sister had Patty Play Pal. I was born in 1958 and Patty Play Pal would inherit my toddle clothes lol. I had some of the early 60’s Barbies. I also inherited the Patty Play Pal doll warring my toddler clothes lol. We came full circle.
Revlon dolls were sold separately from makeup. It came in a very small to 21-inch size. I got a 1960 21-inch Revlon bride bought at a flea market.
I was a child of the 50's like other ladies here! I loved all my dolls! Tiny Tears, Sweet Sue, Shirley Temple, 8"Betsy McCall & her paper doll from the McCalls magazine, and Barbie! I still have all my dolls. Some of them were more played with than others. So some of them faired better . I love your video on the dolls of my childhood. You had me laughing as well as reminiscing! Thank you!
My friend's mom used to call us Chatty Cathys when we couldn't stop talking during TV or car rides. It made me smile when I heard Gabby Gabby's name in Toy Story 3 I knew instantly what inspired her.
The Revlon fashion dolls were really beautiful, prettier than the one you showed, which was the smallest one. They came in many sizes: 10”, 16”, 18”, 20”, 22”, 24”. Because their hair was rooted, it could be washed and styled, which was a new feature for 50s dolls. She had beautiful outfits, bras and underwear,, garters and nylons, and high heels. There were many knockoff dolls made copying her!
I have always loved all kinds of dolls. I also have a love for vintage dolls. I really want a patty playpal doll. I have quite a few barbie dolls and continue to love them as well
Wow! Thank you for this walk down memory lane still remember quite a few of these dolls. Loved the baby dolls and later the Shirley Temple one which I still have today.
Because of my mom I have two dolls from the 50s that aren't Barbies. A Muffy and a Toni doll. The Toni doll has her original outfit but she fits Wellie Wishers size outfits. The oldest Barbie I have is ponytail #5 and a bubble cut.
Great concept for new series - LOVE IT
Barbie is the one doll over all these decades that absolutely made a contribution to women's liberation. Barbie rules forever! 1955 Cissy doll was my favorite of the rest. I've never seen one before this video. Cute! Liked and Subscribed!
This video brought back many memories for me. I received a Saucy Walker doll for Christmas and loved her. The strange thing is my mother told me her name was Susie Walker…guess Mom didn’t like that it was called Saucy. My poor mother though took the bus downtown to go shopping to buy her. When she got home and took her out of the box Saucy didn’t walk. So Mom took the next bus to return her and buy another. That time she tried her out in the store. Sadly after awhile she did stop walking and I wanted my parents to take her to a doll hospital…but that never happened. I still have her outfit, shoes and socks though. I hope some day to find her (like the one I had) for sale. Great memories!
My mom has most of these behind glass. Shirley was my grandma's that her father found in the trash during the depression
That was so much fun! i can hardly wait till you get to my favorite. “Dawn Dolls” you are going to be great with this subject i’m sure! great job🎉
Yasss exposing Trixie for spending 20k on 1st edition Barbie doll. Honestly, I stan
I really hope he talks about the talking Jill doll from 1987, it was so ahead of its time!
It’s so weird how different all kids are. I never played with baby dolls. My neighbor had a ton, and would always want to play with the one I had. I rarely touched mine 😂 I never got into it, I was always only into my Bratz and My Little Pony!
My grandma still has her sweet sue doll in a closet somewhere. I’ve seen it, it’s a little creepy (and bigger than you think) but it’s really cool that it’s still in pretty good condition after all this time.
I wish there were more fashion dolls which look childlike and cute but also have an original concept/theme right now
"…of the 1950s"??
I knew them in the early sixties (maybe these were from the Very Late fifties). I remember when my sister got a Chatty Baby. That one was a lot of fun!
Love the hair cut
I have a lot of these dolls😊 I collected dolls in my younger days, they’re really cute and I had fun hunting them 😊
I love Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls! My mother let me play with her Ann doll as a kid and watch the show and movies movie company's made over the years.
would love you to do this series, love this! And love your haircut, also as a collector of various genres of dolls i have a few of these you mentioned here
Every beach Barbie doll
The first doll I remember having was Tiny Tears.
LOVE the hair!! Great idea for a series, too.
Miss revlon. Was a tie in to the revlon makeup company. The clothes where named after their iconic lipsticks
You should do one on the 1970s. That was a pretty wild time in doll history
I‘ve been WAITING for this video 💕
This is a great idea for a series looking back at all the different decades fashion dolls can’t wait for more
Also I do have an original Barbie doll from the late 50s and early 60s she is in really good condition and I only got her for $200 (which is ridiculously cheap for her )
I had a doll that came with arm and leg casts that snapped together and red or yellow spots to mimic measles or chickenpox and also a Miss Revlon Doll.
Your hair looks great! And I love your sense of humour! Oh, yeah, and the dolls, I like those too.
Looking dashing ❤with new haircut
I love babydolls.
I like when their teeth show. Nothing creepy about it
Love the old Barbie better then the new ones
Thank you for this video X Hugs
Haircut looks great!! Loving your videos!
i used to have this patti playpal in 2009's but sadly, when we moved to the philippines, and the doll was displayed and stucked for years, it started to get brittle, i mostly cried because it was my long life friend.
I've been trying to find one of those giant playmate dolls at thrift stores because I'm planning on doing a M3gan custom for Halloween.
I received a Cissy doll for Christmas in 1955. This was a big splurge for my family as the doll was from "A Child Dream Comes True" collection and cost $25, very expensive at the time. Cissy dolls dressed in cocktail dress and afternoon dresses went for $15.95. A basic Cissy in a chemise was $12.95. Cissy is the Cadillac of fashion dolls. Especially her clothes. They are very sought after by collectors. I have seen rare sundresses go for $1500 and $1600. All collectors know the quality of Madame Alexander dolls.
