- Celebrity Dolls were all the rage as 70s Toys. Fashion Dolls and Action Figure Doll Toys of the 1970s and 80s were popular playthings. Peculiar Head Molds and Caricature Face Sculpts were the norm for Celebrity Dolls like Cher, Donny Osmond, Dolly Parton, and more of our favorite stars all the way through the 90s.
I would steal my brother's GI Joe doll. He and my
Barbie had date nights. Thank you for bringing back memories.
This reminds me of how my brother used to rearrange my barbies when I wasn't playing with them. I'd leave the room for a while and come back later to find them naked on top of each other in the hot tub, or he'd have stuck one in the mailbox, or some such.
Same here! 😂
@@SpottableBus My sister would decorate hers and would ask me for suggestions on the most insane things I could come up with. I claim to be the creator of Biker &/tch Barbie since she took my suggestions literally. It was actually a fun experience for the both of us and we remember it fondly even 25 years later
Me too, but GI Joe was too short, so they were just friends. 😂 I would also steal his tonka Jeep, too, because Gi Joe and Barbie were going off reading. 😂 These were great memories.
I really loved the Gill man and planet of the apes Cornelius/Caesar so they were always in the dream house instead of Ken🌻
I got a Brooke Shields doll (the blue sweater and leggings version) for Christmas when I was a little girl! My older cousin promptly took off her clothes and made her moon people from the windows of my brand new dollhouse 😵💫 Ah, the 1980s.
I am truly giggling. That was awesome, and I loved you shared it. Thank you
@@GENXPERIENCE lol my pleasure
I loved my Brooke shields doll❤
@@noneofyourbusiness6419so did I
I had the gray and mauve outfit. The painted on undies were hilarious!
The Andy Gibb one looks like Helen Hunt 🤣 all those dolls were uuuuugly!
he looked so wrong with the clean chest too
🤣☠️😭
Helen Hunt!! 😂 Could've been worse, could've been Helen Hayes!! 😱
When I was about five years old (1978), I wanted a Cher doll sooooooo badly!!! But…little boys in rural Virginia did NOT receive dolls for Christmas in the ‘70s…or ‘80s or ‘90s or… Anyway, when Cher dolls came back during the “Believe” era, I finally got her, along with the “If I Could Turn Back Time” version the following year. I love them even more than I probably would have all those years ago!
Although having an original would have been something, especially at the time, I am so glad you finally came full circle and got yourself incredibly beautiful ones. Thank you for sharing. Love these stories.
Do remember that the Diana Ross doll and Cher doll had almost identical outfits ?
I had them both , I often wonder what happened to them 💋
@@kerridillon911I had the Cher doll with the pink dress, and several of the outfits. I was never a Cher fan, but I loved the idea of having a doll that wasn’t blonde & blue-eyed…
@@xamyx725I did too, always prefer dark haired divas.
I had the Cher doll , I loved her
I had the Michael Jackson doll shown here , still do actually, about 40 years later 😊…..I actually had the Donnie and Marie dolls as well, but the Donnie doll ended up getting his face all scratched and cut up because, according to my older brother “he went on a secret mission with GI Joe and got injured” 🤣🤣🤣
My sister got the Dinny and Marie dolls for Christmas. I cut Marie's hair when Marie cut her own hair. And like the person talking here; I owned a pair of purple socks that I wore during each episode of Donny and Marie.
I had a Julia Doll in her nurse uniform. She was one of my favorite at the time. What a great role model in the Barbie line of dolls that empowered me as a girl.
I have one picture of her at the VERY end. Glad I added it. Her doll was beautiful. It would have worked to just do a Diahann Carol doll, too. Thanks for commenting.
I have two, their hair oxidizes so they turn into red or orange heads
Julia was my first 'real' Barbie. I took her everywhere and even tried to smuggle her and Dapper Dan into kindergarten. I keep Julia on permanent display. Her hair is red and we cover that with a wig.
I loved Julia, too. My parents even got me a Julia coloring book. Dianne Carroll was beautiful ❤.
I loved the show as a kid, and as a Barbie collector her doll is on my bucket list!
Bionic Woman Jaime Sommers in her cobalt blue outfit with red purse and shoes, my favourite childhood doll.
I talk about Jamie in my Playsets Show. Check it out.
I had her too! I loved her bionic panels!
They did her rotten with her big GI Joe feet though.
I had an Angie Dickinson/Police Woman doll as a kid. I loved the bob and her little raincoat...anybody else remember that doll?
With the biggest flatest feet you have ever seen, lol
I had the bionic woman. Her giant handbag full of accessories was amazing!! A wallet, with cash and pics of steve, weapon's, makeup.,..so great
Maybe if I do dolls based on TV and MOvie Characters I will include the Bionic Woman. That bag in itself is FANTASTIC.
Ready for anything… criminals, makeup smudge.
I had the Bionic Woman but without the accessory purse. I also had Donny and Marie
she was ready! such a clever doll idea
Let’s begin where most good stories start, the 70s ! SO agree!!!
I had the Cher doll. I decided to iron her pink dress which didn’t go well. It melted. 😢😂
lol....I'm sorry, but that is awesome. What a great story. Thanks for sharing.
We didn't have to iron our polyester back then, haha!
I had a Cher doll when I was in the 2nd grade in 1975. She had a silver and black gown on and I loved it so much I snuck it into school so I could play with it at recess..I was teased mercilessly for having a Cher doll.
Thank you for sharing the story. That is what I love to hear. Glad you snuck her in, good for you!
Me too!
Great video! Fun fact: the girl twisting the key into Cher dolls back @2:21 is Adrienne King, the first final girl of the 1980's slasher Friday The 13th.
Good catch !
Oh damn! I didn’t even recognize her and I’m a big Friday the 13th fan! I guess I was focusing too much on the horror that is that doll! It doesn’t look good at all.
The head from the Captain doll was reused as the head for Paul Stanley in the KISS line of figures by Mego. They had the hair and painted the face.
I never had any of these dolls but I did get to meet Toni Tenille back in the early 90s. She sang with the orchestra I played in during our annual Christmas sing along show. We both had colds and I gave her a cough drop! 😂 Very nice lady and a great voice.
That in itself is more awesome than the doll. What a wonderful memory to have.
They bought my folks' vacation house at Lake Tahoe!
I sang their songs in the grade school talent competitions - not muskrat love.
The Andy Gibb doll looks more like Helen Hunt
Oh, my. What a great comparison. I love it, and thank you for adding to the fun.
They ever come up with a Bishop action figure from ALIENS you could pair them up and play Twister. Tornado fun for hours.
The JEM collection, especially PIZZAZZ!!!!!!! Love her!
ha, I think BOy George would have been a Misfit for sure.
I had a jem doll in the 80's it was awesome
I LOVED my Jem doll ❤
I wanted one so bad
Let's not forget the 'Police Woman' Angie Dickinson doll & the 'Star Trek' Lt. Uhura communication doll , Nichelle Nicols!
My top 2 favorites!
POLICE WOMAN. Awesome. When I do a show about TV and Movie Charcters, they'll be in it. I can't believe there wasn't a specific Angie Dickinson Doll like these other Celebrity dolls for this show, though. Thank you
I remember looking at Honey West dolls back in the 60’s.
Farrah looks more like Donna Mills in her "Knot's Landing" era.
Yeah, this is the kind of comment I like. Join in the fun! Great Comparison. Thank you
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I love my generation
I was a doll collector early on, and got a Shaun Cassidy doll for my 14th birthday in 1978.
That is awesome. I do have a few dolls myself (no collector though). I did include the pictures of the Hardy BOy Dolls in this video, but thought they looked pretty good. Thanks for watching.
Is that the Hop along Cassidy?
It’s weird I was a collector in my teens as well. Didn’t play with them because i was much too old but I had an obsession with collecting old items
I still have my Wonder Woman doll. I got her for Christmas in 1977. She's in better shape than me 🤣🤣🤣
lol, cute. Great things about toys...they sometimes only fade.
I have a Carol Burnett as "Starlet O'Hara from Went With The Wind" doll and a Carrie Fisher doll "Princess Leia" doll.
I had the Large Size Star Wars dolls from 78, all of them. AWESOME. I think Carol was too modern to be in this list, but that would have made sense to have her own celebrity doll back then.
So well done! Donny and Marie forevaaaahhh!
Besides just being part of our youth and the culture, the dolls weren't bad either. Really. Thanks for the view and comment.
"santa" brought me a Dorothy Hamill and Farrah Fawcett doll in 78.
I live in Sweden and was very interested to learn that ABBA even had dolls! If I’d have known of their existence in those days I’d have a collection of them all! One strange thing though…they were boxed with Danish text, ok it’s still Scandinavian but ABBA we’re definitely Swedish! I enjoyed this video, so thanks for making it! 😊
In the 1970s I owned a Cher doll and a Dorothy Hamill doll. My favorite of the two was Dorothy Hamill. 🧸
3:38 Years ago, I successfully bid on ebay for a Donny Osmond doll for my mother (who is a huge Donny Osmond fan) it brought her and still brings her such great joy since she grew up watching Donny and Marie. And I'm glad I was able to get her the doll she always wanted to have.
That is so wonderful. This is all done in love. I know there was a Donny in our house, and I still collect toys, so this is a great story. T hank you
Your a good kid.
That’s very cool. I like getting gifts like that. They mean so much to the person receiving them.
Since my dad nixed a "sissy" ez bake oven for me as a kid, I lucked out and got a bearded, muscled GI Joe instead! The irony...and that Hammer interview made me spit my coffee! Hysterical!
I honestly thought the EZ Bake OVEN was simply wizardry and I wanted it. Well, glad you lucked out with getting a Joe. I bet he can cook!
I had a Honey West doll in the mid-sixties. She was a character in a TV show played by Anne Francis.
Me too!!! She was awesome!!! Would love to find another one!!!
beautiful Anne Francis! her doll was cute too
I found a Julia doll, and Twiggy doll at a thrift store, and some Barbie clothing that was mail order only. My niece, had the Jem Dolls 😊.
Mail order. THAT IS COOL. That julia doll looked great, too.
I had two Twiggy dolls but lost them, disgracefully, in storage!!! Also had a Honey West doll from the 1960's!!! STILL would LOVE to have both dolls!!!
My neighbor had the Bionic woman and Million dollar man & the accessories were so awesome.
Their little playsets were incredible, too.
I remember the day I got my first Cher doll. I could have died from happiness. Later that day, I received the whole Montgomery Ward exclusive wardrobe.
You were so very fortunate. THat is some wardrobe. Hey, I still think Cher is incredible and her doll was awesome. SO glad you had her.
@@GENXPERIENCE Great video. You can't go wrong with celebrity dolls.
I wasn’t even aware of those 80s dolls. I would have loved the Wonder Woman doll. I loved Wonder women! My friends always had toys that I wanted.
It's never too late!
@@Charlie_Duz I want to buy all the toys I didn’t have as a kid. I had toys but people always had stuff that I wanted.
I had a Cher and Marie doll growing up. I even had the stage for Marie to sing!
I found a Marie doll in the box at a second hand store a few years back and I still have her.
I was so obsessed!
How exciting. I would love to have those in my collection.
Haha I have mego Farrah, I have Donnie and Marie, mc hammer, Vanna white, new kids, Britney, 90210 dolls, spice girls and Jem …. Great video!
Thank you for the kind words, and WHAT A COLLECTION. You go!
I had the Brookke Shields doll lol. The two sweater version. Loved it!!!
NOw she was well made.
I had her, also. I loved that doll.
That Cher doll is iconic.
스타워즈 인형, 원더우먼인형은 너무 반가운데요~❤
I had the Donnie and Marie doll set. They came with microphones to sing their latest hits. We also had the 6 Million Dollar Man action figure (a paltry sum for all of his custom bionics which would be closer to $600M and a few contracts with DARPA today). He had a “bionic” eye, but no sound effects whatsoever.
We had Bionic Man for sure, and yeah...where were the iconic sounds. They wouldn't miss that opportunity today, lol.
Am I remembering correctly that you could look through the eye from the back of the head? Or did mine just incur damage?
I remember The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman. Mork from Ork. Laverne and Shirley and they also made Linny and Squiggy. I did have all of these as a kid. Im 52 now, and I still have Mork from Ork, Six Million dollar man and Linny & Squiggy, although Linny & Squiggy have seen better days , lol.
Love that you still have some. Of course those are TV and Movie Characters which I will probably do in a show other than dolls of celebrities.
Cool video! My mom and aunt had the Brooke Shields doll. We found the one with the pink sweater in my grandma's attic years ago! It was just up there collecting dust for about 2 decades!
Wow, I bet she can still be salvaged.
I had a Cher doll. The one with the pink dress.
That one ran the longest, and quite honestly is an epic and iconic figure.
Mego's Cher doll sold very well in 1976 and she even outsold Barbie that year. But their other celebrity female fashion doll's did not sell very well except a few of them.
I had the Cher and Farrah dolls. They were very played with. Just 2 weeks ago, we moved and I actually donated a little suitcase with those and a few more childhood Barbies. I don't know what I was thinking. I was always fascinated with the Cher and Farrah's long fingernails.
@@laureencriss8220 Yes, The Mego female doll's had those large claw like hands and fingers but that's just how they were designed back then.
I had a small handful of the dolls mentioned and some others not mentioned. What I have never owned in my life is a Barbie doll, as my mother refused to buy them for me (or my sister) because she thought Barbie was ugly. The other kids made fun of us mercilessly. No wonder I have been in therapy for 33 years. Nevertheless, I loved this video. p.s.: My favorite doll that I owned out of the ones that were shown was the Cher doll and recognized the silver and black dress as well as the red one with the dragon on it. Oh how I miss her!
I don’t see any difference between the dolls and the people, they nailed it!
We had the Bionic Man, Bionic Woman, Cher, the Archies, Donny and Marie, Arnold Horse-shack, Baby Joey from All in the Family.
I had a Cher doll, chewed her fingers as a kid. But my favorite was my Marie Osmond doll. Her body was able to fit in all Barbie clothes. I took her everywhere.
Marie was versatile and so friendly with that big smile. Thank you for sharing your memories.
I still have my Donnie and Marie dolls in their original box 😊
Nice. Pristine condition.
I had a Dolly doll and the Charlies Angels dolls....i played w them A LOT! I wish i still had them!!
You were very fortunate and probably loved them dearly.
Thanks for these wonderful videos, Victor. You're working hard and entertaining a lot of people.
You are so kind. It is rare to have someone write such positive content to a creator. Thank you
Thanks, Victor. Viewers don't always understand the hours of recording, sourcing and editing that these videos take, but some of us do!
I read Tiger Beat, I love this channel , thank you !!!!💋💯🥰
This is a great video! You have a new subscriber! I actually have the Andy Gibb doll - always great for a good laugh. I always put my finger over his name on the vest and make people guess who he is supposed to be. I have Arnold Horshack, Evil Knievel, Donny Osmond, Shaun Cassidy, Farrah Fawcett (Mego), Mork, Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman, Fonzi, Planet of the Apes Set, Erik Estrada/Ponch, Starsky and Hutch, Brooke Shields , among others. This video has me written all over it!
I love your Andy Name Game, lol. What a collection. So glad you liked it. And know it was all done in love. These were fanstic...just like your pic with Coco Peru.
i had the captain and tennille dolls! haven't thought about them in years. i was so annoyed that my barbie clothes wouldn't fit her😂wish i kept them. thank you for the nostalgic trip!
Kind of like phone charging cables now...not universal, lol. Glad you thought about them, it was a fun time.
I got the Donnie doll for Christmas in 1977 or maybe it was1978, my older sister got the Marie doll the same year. Neither one of us liked or watched them. We both wanted the KISS dolls but got them instead. One of the most disappointing Christmases of our childhood lol
So you were expecting fine French wine, but instead got plastic bottles full of sewage water from an cold war Eastern European suburb...can't say that I cannot understand that you were disappointed.
I had a Wonder Woman doll back in the 70s, and a good friend of mine had a Cher doll.
Lucky kids.
7:56 Nice Wilhelm scream!😄
Julia doll cannot be compared to some of these She was a great looking iconic doll. Love to have a nice one
They really did do a great job with her. Of course she is marketed more as Julia than Diahann Carol, so she is not exactly the same kind. But she is still lovely.
I loved my Cher and my Farrah Fawcett doll
No matter what they were glamorous.
The Farrah Fawcet doll looks just like her!
I had the Donnie and Marie dolls and the Charlie's Angels dolls!!!! Oh the memories!!!!
Nice collection to be sure.
I had a Cher doll as a child. Thanks for the memory flash
So glad you had that doll, she was probably a wonderful plaything. I loved that there so many. Thanks for sharing.
...I always wished they'd done a set of Duran Duran fashion dolls
Or Adam Ant ❤
I had Donny and Marie, the bionic woman and John Travolta. I wanted the Cher and Wonder woman dolls, but you know parents, they always got the dolls I didn't want.
Hahaha at Cher’s first face🤣
Yup
What a fun video! I still have lots of dolls, most inherited from my mom. She loved Dolly Parton and Brooke Shields, so I have several dolls of both. I have a muscular He-Man and Skeletor, given to me by a boyfriend, back in my body building days. And I have all my mom's "Saved By the Bell" dolls. Thanks for this fun stroll down memory lane!
THis is awesome, thanks for sharing. I do love the diversity of the kinds of dolls over different times, too. Thank you
I'm Gen Y but I waited for this video since 1996 - when I had begun collecting as a 12 yo and got my first collector guide book, finding all these celeb dolls I saw there pretty bewildering! Your subtle but surprising humor got a bunch of laughs out of me! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and I am glad you enjoyed. The think is...it is all done in fun. I love that they were made, I love that they were part of my gen, but sure, they look a little funny sometimes. But I still love that you collect these. Enjoy.
the amazing cher doll
I had a Farrah Faucet doll when I was little. Her hair was grey not blonde as I remembered. My sister and I had a Princess Leah doll from Star Wars. Even Barbie dolls. I only gotten 1 Barbie Doll for Christmas back in 1977. My sister had about 5 or 6 of them for Christmas. We did shared toys. I even had a G.I. Joe doll with red hair and beard. I think that my father got it for me or my sister one year. My father had red hair,too.
Love all the pieces you had. Yeah, Farrah is more a gray blonde anyway. Thanks for watching.
This was awesome! You’re so hilarious too. Had to watch 3x. 😊😅😂
Oh my! Love hearing this, you are awesome to say so. You get so few compliments online. Thank you.
I still have Sonny and Cher. LOL
Damn, actually that is pretty cool. Keep em safe.
Jimmy Osmond had/has an amazing voice. Most of these dolls barely look like who they're supposed to look like
That whole family was talented.
I had a Cher doll with the pink halter dress, Donnie & Marie, Charlies Angels and their van. The fun childhood memories with all my dolls ❤
I'm still holding on to my Mego Starsky & Hutch action figures!
One of my favorite shows of ALL time. Loved them and their car.
I still own my Jam doll.
The Travoltadoll is awfull.
I didnt tknow Blossom had a doll.
Now i NEED one.
Grate video X
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah, John Travolta was a bit creepy, but Blossom...go get them. There were 3. They look pretty good.
I had the entire set of New Kids on the Block dolls. My sister got M.C. Hammer and Whitney Houston.
I knew there had to be a Whitney, but alas, these were getting further into the GEN Y area than GEN X, so I may not have noticed. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The Cher doll face finally was spot on. From a distance she could be mistaken for Morticia Addams.
NOw that means it was finally done right, lol
I had a New Kids on the Block doll and several of the 90210 dolls. Fun fact - they only made the 5 most popular characters (Brandon, Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, and Donna) out of the 8 main cast into dolls. 1 of which was, of course, Tori Spellings character😜. No luck if your favorite was David, Steve, or Andrea...
Talk about getting the shaft, lol. Interesting info. Thank you
I had a New Kids on the Block doll and the MC Hammer doll
The Boy George doll looks like he's from Insane Clown Posse!
With all due respect to some awesome Culture Club songs...I think that doll was a CLOWN
LOL - Juggalo Georgie!
I got one of my male friends a KISS action figure (Peter Criss with kitty makeup) when we were in college (Y2K era) and he loved it. My older cousins had the Donny & Marie dolls as well as the Cher dolls. I am a Xennial and I remember we had Spice Girls dolls, too.
Those pop star and music dolls were great too, they were passed my prime, but certainly are cool.
very interesting, thanks!
Your videos are fantastic! I had a number of the dolls that you mentioned Dorothy Hamill, Wonder Woman et al. I also had : Grow Up Skipper, The Bionic Woman, Jody the Country Doll, Suntan Tuesday Taylor, Dusty, Hispanic Barbie, the female version of Evel Knieval w/ cycle,The Sunshine Family, Sindy, Rhinestone from Dazzle and Her Friends, the '70's African Amer. version of Ballerina Barbie (Cara?), Curtis, hair styling Barbie bust, Mimi the singing doll, Starr the teenage doll, Fashion Photo Barbie & Midge and the Superstar Stage Show. Good grief, seeing this listing makes me look like Veruca Salt, but I Promise I wasn't a spoiled kid ( I would've gotten a whooping if I was! 😆 )I loved all of my dolls and was super grateful that my parents bought me my dolls. Thank you for the memories!
Thank you, you're very kind. I find it all fascinating and poked fun all in Love. So happy youvenjoyed and shared.
I had the Donny and Marie dolls😂 , Charlie's angels because i loved it, bionic woman, Dorothy Hamil and Brooke Shields. Doll crazy🎉
That Cher collection looks amazing, ngl
Class of 1985 here..70s childhood and preteens, full on 80s young adulthood, 90s adulthood
You got some of the best of everything X had to offer
I had the first Cher doll, she was terrifying! They improved for sure. So many of these dolls look like they’re just desperate to get out of their boxes. But I’ve always stuck to the mod era Barbies, though I did go insane for the better Xena dolls. They were awesome. I’d have loved a Wonder Woman doll and… those Abba dolls, in all honesty they’re as hilarious as the Andy Gibb doll. And now Mattel have done a gorgeous Stevie Nicks doll! I’ve been hanging out for that one. Was there ever a Freddie Mercury doll? It would be so cool if they did a Bohemian Rhapsody era doll. I loved this so much, thank you!
I think there was a limited edition or Exclusive Freddie. As for Abba, yeah, they are just about as unrecognizable as Andy, lol.
I love my Original GI Joe. Which is a doll first. They are worth so much money.
Wow this brings back memories, my sister and I has the Charlie's Angels dolls, I was so gutted that I'd wanted the Farrah doll and my sister I the ended chopping all her hair off ... those were the days 🤣🤣🤣
Ugh, I did the same with my sister Princess Leia doll, and then I REGRETED IT
I had the (4) small Charlie's Angels, Dorothy Hamill and Farrah dolls.
The 2 Farrahs were pretty different. But I think having all the Angels would have been wonderful.
Wow that Andy Gibb doll is freaky, I wish I had it.
I had the pink sweater version of Brooke Shields. I loved her. Despite being a young kid back then, I had seen The Blue Lagoon. I can’t imagine any parent today allowing their child to watch that movie. Different times, I suppose.
lol. Blue Lagoon was OMG, for sure. I saw it pretty young too. YIKES. But it was a different time. I have to admit the Brooke Doll looks dang good.
I had the Cher, Bionic woman, and Donny and Marie dolls.
I worked the assembly at memory in Holbrook NY York for two years from Farrah Cher, kiss dolls styling heads etc in 1978-1979 time period
That is awesome. Must have been kinda fun.
@GENXPERIENCE it was I was 19 20 yo slot of my former classmates and go out every weekend and buy Christmas presents for my younger brothers kiss dolls startrek sets and race sets
존 트라볼타 인형이라니~!!
넘넘 신기해요~~~❤
유명 연예인들이 인형의 모델이 되었다는 점이 흥미롭네요.
유익하구, 재밌어요~^^❤
I had Princess Leia, Shaun Cassidy, Donny & Marie and Cher!!! My mom was none too happy after I took Leia's hair out of the donut shapes holding it, as well as chopping off most of Marie Osmond's. I left Cher alone but dressed her a little less revealing. I made Cher the mom of all of my Barbie Dolls. Shaun Cassidy was always somebody's boyfriend.
Kitty ONeill is awesome! Wish Ida known who she was back then when I was little
I was so obsessed with the Spice Girls dolls. Unfortunately, I didn't collect them all though!
I have almost all of those! I collected celebrity dolls through the 1990s and I loved them. Never found the ABBA dolls (there were European exclusives) but I did manage to get one of the fashion packs. Boy George was also exclusive to every country but the US so I got one in a trade from some friends from Australia. They also produced BOY Snoopy which is really cute as can be. Little known fact: the Toni Tennille doll does not have sculpted ears! The last celebrity collection I bought were the Beverly Hills 90210 dolls. I thought they were amazing! Best likenesses in a fashion doll. In the 60s, Mattel produced Barbie's first celebrity doll friend, Twiggy as a friend of her cousin, Francie. Also, Mattel produced Diahann Carroll as Julia. Both dolls are really beautiful and highly sought after.
What a great collection. Thank you for sharing it. I thought the ABBA dolls were an exclusive, and that makes sense. So glad you stopped by.
I had old Shirley Temple and Deanna Durban dolls. I think we might have even had the Dionne Quintuplets dolls, made in the 1930s. They weren’t of my generation, but my mom’s. I’m a later boomer, and we had Beatles and Rolling Stones dolls, probably Freddy and the Dreamers and Herman Hermits. I thought the 60s English Invasion celebrity dolls were too creepy for me, and about that time started to grow out of toys, and into skateboarding, bikes and roller skates
My mother always talked about BOTH Deanna Durban AND those quintuplets. What a story. And yeah, we all grow out of them....some of us just do it temporarily.
I had an aunt that collected 11" fashion dolls, mostly Barbie. She had most of these in her collection.
Sounds like she was a serious collector. Thanks for watching.
I had the Jem Collection and all 5 of the New Kids On The Block dolls
