For the next week or so we're going to look at some babies and some kids. Today's doll is Tiny Lee Ann.
Tiny Lee Ann is from a line of dolls called Tiny Blessings,made by Bandai in 1987.
There were quite a few dolls in the line,including a couple of boys.
The standard dolls, like Lee Ann,didn't come with anything,but there were also some that came with a bunting.
There was a series that came with accessories like a rocking horse, a bath tub, a wagon,a play pen,a high chair, and a train.
There was also one playset produced,a dollhouse,that looked suspiciously like the 1986 Mapletown Post Office for the Sylvanian Families animals. That was made by Epoch,which is Bandai, I think.
All the dolls had 'real' hair, and molded,painted clothing.
If Lee Ann looks like she's having hair problems, it's because she originally came with a teeny tiny ponytail on each side of her head. I'm not sure I can ever get those back for her!
Lee Ann is about 2 1/4" sitting, and about 3" stretched out.There were some Tiny Blessings smaller than Lee Ann.
She's able to be posed in various cute baby ways.
She can lay down or sit up.
I think they were all such cute little dolls,and I wouldn't mind having more.But Lee Ann is the only one I've ever actually come across (in person).
See you again tomorrow for another doll.
I saw these as a kid, but wasn't interested because their clothes were painted on. I wanted to be able to change diapers and clothes. They are cute though.
ReplyDeleteThat would have taken some skill, putting a diaper that tiny on!
