Ladies, which dolls did you have when growing up?

Question

Toni, Didie Ellen, Teri Lee, Saucy Walker or other?

I forgot Madam Alexander dolls and Ginnie Dolls.

Answer 1

I did not have any of the Madame Alexander Dolls. Mine were mainly Barbies. My very favorite one though was one called the Dancing Ballerina. She had a plastic pink crown on her head (she was probably about 18 inches tall) and in the middle of the crown was a knob). When you pulled the knob, you could hold it and she would begin to dance around. I played with that doll until she was completely worn out. My mother still has my original barbie dolls in her attic.

Answer 2

I had a Toni, a Tiny Tears baby doll, a couple of really nice
Madame Alexander dolls. I had a Raggedy Ann doll. I started a collection of dolls from other countries when I went to Europe as a child. I still have that collection.

Answer 3

I remember a Betsy Wetsy, and there were other big dolls that may have had a name, or not, I don't remember. When I was in 6th or 7th grade, I had some small dolls that were the precursor to Barbie, little fashion dolls, and I spent hours and hours making clothes for them. I had a whole suitcase full of small dolls and their clothes! I raided my mother's scrap box regularly, and every ribbon, bit of lace and swatch of velvet were precious to me as I made gowns, and bags, and hats that rivaled the best Hollywood had to offer! I don't think I ever played with them, just made clothes.

I think my mother gave them away to some other little girl when I grew up and left home.

Answer 4

The doll I loved best was called "Baby Bannister", a sweet baby doll. My brother and sisters mocked it unmercifully because the name was strange. I was so defensive of it because I thought its feelings would be hurt. I found out later that it was designed by a well-known baby artist named Constance Bannister. My Baby B disappeared, but many years later I found another one, so I still have a Baby B.

My mother (or Santa Claus) got us older girls the first Barbies with the pony-tails and striped bathing suits. Next, we got the ones with short bouffant hair-dos. So much more practical than the huge unruly hair-dos of today's Barbies. I still have one from the late sixties, with long straight hair, boots, and a "suede" fringed mini outfit.

Answer 5

My favorite was Patty Play Pal. I also remember having a Chatty Cathy doll and Betsy Wetsy doll..

Answer 6

I remember my Tiny Tears doll, Raggedy Ann, and my favorite...a doll that had long golden curls and a grey and pink satin dress. I was "too old" for dolls by the time Barbie and Chatty Cathy came out. Boo Hoo!

Answer 7

Raggedy Ann was my first one and Chatty Cathy was my second, my third was a walking doll, I think it was Lori or Laurie. I didn't get into Barbies until I was 6 years old. I was born in 1957 so that helps date the dolls.

Answer 8

We (my sister and I had to share): Paper dolls, Barbie, Betsy Wetsy, Little Miss Echo (3 inches tall with a tape recorder in her tummy). I always wanted a Thumbalina (sp?) and dolls from all over the world, but we could not afford them.

Answer 9

Ladies? OK, I really didn't own dolls but got a couple for Christmas.

I had a Jerry Mahoney ventriloquist "doll" to help me in my stage career which never happened.

When I was 16, my mother asked what i wanted for Christmas and I said, "A good looking blonde." She bought me a Barbie doll. I gave it to my little sister.

Answer 10

specific I performed with Barbies & nope they have been poor. haha. My mothers and dads refused to purchase something yet clothing (reason I additionally had 2 youthful sisters they had to purchase toys for) so I used my mind's eye fairly plenty. I have been given a small doll mattress with a blanket for much less costly at a storage sale, had an empty bookshelf that I used as a multi-tale domicile, the bathing room sink grow to be their pool & used those beginners curler skates for the automobiles. you be responsive to, those extendable blue plastic ones with the orange wheels & yellow straps? I additionally had my innovations interior the gutter very early on & could have Barbie & Ken get it on for all time. LOL!
