Doll-A-Day 2017 #70:Shrunken Saturday:Happy Family Newborn/Unborn Baby

    First of all,I have to apologize for a couple of posts that were nothing but place holding titles getting published by accident yesterday. My computer keeps doing weird things, and that's not the first time lately it has done that. If you can hang out here long enough I promise those titles will become real posts soon! In the mean time we are still looking at babies. Today we're looking at this the Happy Family baby.

This baby is the same basic doll as the Happy Family baby that came with the pregnant Midge doll, (The Caucasian baby was pink, and I think the African American baby was darker that this baby, which is a medium brown. I'm not sure if there was an Hispanic set. If so, this may be the baby used in that set.), the 'Shopping Fun Midge,Nikki', and new baby set,and the 'Happy Family Baby Doctor Barbie' set. The Happy Family Baby Doctor set came with Barbie and two babies in isolettes.

The baby measures 1 3/4" long.

He/she has a jointed neck,arms,and legs. Partly, this was so the baby could be folded up into sort of a fetal position, and fit in the pregnent Midge detachable belly.
You can see why this was the newborn baby for Midge.It's super tiny.

It's so small, I don't think they even tried to make any clothes for it besides a hat. (There might have been a shirt in one set.) It just has a painted on diaper and a blanket.

It's a cute little baby though, and so tiny it could be used as a 1/12 scale dollhouse baby.

You can see in this picture the neck joint that allows the baby to not only turn it's head,but nod it up and down a little.

 Here's the size comparison again.:

Current Chelsea size,old Kelly size,Teacher Barbie kid, happy family Nikki,Barbie sister Krissy,today's baby,Mattel baby marked China, Happy Family newborn baby.

See you tomorrow for another doll.

Doll-A-Day 2017 #66 Happy Family Neighborhood Baby Friends

  Today we're having a look at some more babies/kids.It's the Happy Family Neighborhood Kids.

These little guys came in a pack of three kids.

They also came with a table and 4 chairs,since they were supposed to be celebrating at Midge's daughter Nikki's birthday party.

I have no idea why I only have two, as I know I got them new. Maybe I split a set with Ivy.Neither of us can remember.

You'll notice that the red haired girl I have is wearing the clothes from the Asian girl I can't locate. I thought I knew what doll I had put the red head's clothes on, but they have vanished,leaving behind a naked Kelly.(Some of the clothes fit Tommy and Kelly.)

She has cute, has VERY tiny braids, and bangs, but the rest of her hair is painted.

I LOVE this little guy.Check out his hair.

Like the girls',it's a combination of painted and rooted.

These little kids were meant to be the friends of Happy family Midge's daughter Nikki, and were the same size,(3" tall), as the toddler Nikki dolls from sets like Happy Family Shopping Fun,(the Nikki we saw yesterday.), and Happy Family Hometown Fair.

I love his little overalls too.By the way, their shoes don't stay on very well.But they can stand unassisted because of their shoes.

They can wear the clothes made for Nikki in the one clothing pack produced for Nikki and Ryan.

Again, here's that size comparison:

Current Chelsea size,older Kelly size,Teacher Barbie kid,Happy Family Nikki,which is the same size (same body) as today's dolls,Barbie sister Krissy,Mattel baby marked 1973,Mattel baby marked only China,and Happy Family newborn baby

See you tomorrow for another baby.
