Returning to my happy place,we're moving on to today's doll. Today we're looking at Red.
"Fraggle Rock" originally aired between 1983 and 1987. As you may know from reading the blog, I have loved the Muppets since I was a kid, in the 60's. Fraggle Rock came a little late for me. Since it was a kid's show,and I was grown by then, I never got that into it. But when my kids came along, they watched it and enjoyed it.(And I got to watch it with them.)
There were original era Fraggle dolls made by Tomy, and later, Hasbro. This doll was made by Manhattan Toy in 2009. I have a couple of the original Fraggles too,but Red is my only newer one.
She's about 18 inches tall.
She's a pretty good likeness of the TV character. For those of you who think it's not that hard to make a doll who looks like a puppet character,it's harder than you think.
Tomorrow we'll look at another doll.
This doll is new to me. I know the Muppets but they are after my time. Howdy Doody, that's my era (wait did I say that publicly?) I meant that's my SISTER'S era (laugh).
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to have an older sister. There's always someone OLDER than you! I appreciate that in my sister!
DeleteI remember Fraggle Rock but I don't recall ever watching it, even though my son was born in December 1986, I think he came just a bit too late for it, although he did watch Sesame Street.
ReplyDeleteThis is a cute doll xx

PS I meant to say that yes, very tragic about the Notre Dame cathedral....although maybe I am the only person who never saw any live news footage of the poor place burning, I read about it on the BBC news website.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Fraggle rock and now have THAT song stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteWell at least it got rid of My Buddy!
