Doll-A-Day 2017 #12 Bonnie Breck Doll

  Today's doll is Bonnie Breck.
As you can see in the picture below, this is her original dress.

  Bonnie was produced by Hasbro in 1971, as an advertising promotion for Breck Shampoo.
We used Breck at some points when I was a kid.
  
 Bonnie is 9" tall.

   Her big eyes have rooted lashes.

  Her hair is big, but not especially thickly rooted.

And if it decides to separate...

...which it does,she has baldish spots.

She has a twist waist and bendable legs.

Unfortunately she shares a problem with dolls like Dusty.

Her legs melt to her hips. Or is that the other way around?

  Her dress looks like two pieces, but it's one. It has a 'Beautiful Bonnie Breck' label inside.

  She came with white shoes, but mine are gone.



  Two years after Bonnie Hasbro produced the World of Love dolls. There were six World of Love dolls. Three used what seems to be practically the same mold as Bonnie Breck.The other three were a guy, a brunette girl,and an African American girl, all of which had their own sculpt.


The whole line had 'hippy' names,This is 'Love'. There was also Peace,Flower,Soul,Music, and the lone guy, Adam.

Not a two headed monster. On the left is World of Love Flower's head. On the right, Bonnie.Is it the same sculpt or not? Bonnie's eyes have more detail.

The ears are completely different though.

Is it the same sculpt, only painted differently?
Flower borrowed Bonnie's body for a minute.




  And let's finish up with some more pictures of Bonnie.



See you tomorrow.

  1. Wasn't the Bonnie Breck doll inspired by a real person who won a contest for nice hair?

    1. I haven't read anything about that. I'll have to look into it.
