Doll-A-Day 2019 #251: Boopsie

  Before I start out,I want to remind everybody to 'like' Planet of the Dolls on Facebook, and check out the sales page because I have added some new stuff. You can find both of those by clicking the links in the side bar.
  Today's doll is this young 'un.

Hiya!

She's Boopsie.

She was made by Ideal.

Boopsie was made for five years,from 1950 to 1955.

She's 8 inches tall.

She's hard plastic.

Her hair is molded and painted.

Look at all the detailed little curls!

Not so much detail in the ears though.

She has sleep eyes that 

They aren't closed all the way here. Pretty creepy.

I showed you a Boopsie before.

She's a bit rougher than today's Boopsie. She also has a different Ideal symbol. on her back.
 

Today's Boopsie must be an early one, because she still says Patent Pending.
You'll notice both of these dolls are wearing homemade clothes.
 

That's because Boopsie was sold wearing nothing but a diaper.
  Boopsie has separate limbs,but her body and head are one solid piece. That means she can't turn her head. That accounts for her stiff necked,distrusting look.

That's the doll for today.

Bye!

  Come back tomorrow to see another one.

Boopsie,Cutesy,and Ginger

  A few days ago I promised you a look at some recent Goodwill hauls. Well, here they are.

These guys all need some clean up.

These kids were in a bag together. I'm trying to fund a trip to England in the Spring,so I thought these kids might help. They aren't super valuable, but they are worth more than they cost.The tallest one is an 8" Ginger doll.

Ginger is marked on the back of her head.

Ginger was sold by Cosmopolitan in the 1950's. She looks similar to Vogue's Ginny because both were actually manufactured by Commonwealth Plastics.

This Ginger is a walker,and her head does still turn when her legs are moved. She has cloudy eyes,so I'll have to see if I can clean them,or if,like so many dolls of this era, the eyes are cloudy on the inside and can't be improved. I just haven't felt up to doing anything with her yet. They look like they might be ok though. Her sleep eyes open and close alright.

The big plastic baby is Boopsie.
