Aimee. The Elegant Doll with Beautiful Hair by Hasbro (1972)

Aimee. The Elegant Doll with Beautiful Hair by Hasbro (1972)
Following the success of hair-themed dolls, such as Tressy, by American Character, Hasbro entered the market in 1972 with Aimée.
The unique selling point of this 18-inch tall doll was not a ‘growing’ strand of hair, as for Tressy and her larger cousin Crissy. Hasbro’s offering had a whole series of wigs and wiglets, attached to her head by means of painful-looking snaps, that pressed directly into locator holes studded into her scalp. Not a wigged doll as such, although a full wig was available, rather she had a range of hair pieces to create many styles.
This doll was clearly not designed for slouching around the house, her range of outfits suggested that she spent her time attending only the best parties. Ever-dressed for cocktails and not for domestic chores, the boxed doll wore a long formal gown in a random paisley effect, very on-trend for the 1970s.
Aimée was available in both Caucasian and Black forms, with box illustrations that looked very little like the doll.

She’s such a fab doll! A blast from the past, and great for collecting as there’s a limited range of fashions and hair pieces. Thanks for watching!
