Doll-A-Day 2019 #345: Raspberry Herbert/Strawberry Patches

  ** This post has been updated.Thanks to Raging Moon for supplying the name of the line so I could research it!**
  Today's doll is this little guy.

He's from a line called Picka-berry Circus. There were six characters,and they were all clowns. They were obvious Strawberry Shortcake clones.I'm confused though. The back of one package I found online gave the name of the guy dressed like this as Strawberry Patches. Then I found an Ebay listing for one dressed like this guy,in package, and his name was Raspberry Herbert. Most things I've found seem to call him Raspberry Herbert. (He was raspberry scented when new apparently. This guy has no smell any more.) The berries on his shirt look more like strawberries to me, but what do I know?  More mysteries lie ahead too.
 As you can see,he's a clown,but he also seems to be made with the Strawberry Shortcake molds.

He has a face the same shape.

His hands are even like early Strawberry Shortcake hands. At least, the right one is.

He even has strawberries on his shirt.

What I read said they were made by Fishel Toys Limited,but this guy is made by New Bright Industrial Toys.

That's their lamp logo and slogan. It says,'symbol of quality' and Hong Kong.

His outfit has buttons on the front...

...and a snap in the back.

 The rubber band you see belongs to his tie,which is held on by a rubber band around his neck
 

He has a little gray fedora,but he's had a hat-ectomy.

Ahhh! Life in Ivy's room was tough on this guy!

  There was also a French version, which was called,Les Bonbon Circus. Those were made by Delavennat.
New Bright,founded in 1966,is,these days, 'the world's leading manufacturer of radio and remote control toy vehicles',according to their website.
  That's today's doll. We're coming down to the wire on Ivy's room makeover! She'll be home Friday night,and I still have a lot of work to do! See you tomorrow for another doll anyway!

Doll-A-Day 2019 #173: Red Riding Hood

  The news today is that Toys R Us will be opening 2 new stores in the U.S. in 2020. All Toys R Us stores in the United States were closed last year,while the company maintained stores in Europe,Asia,and India. Several new stores are planned for other countries this year too. I really hope Toys R Us manages to make a comeback here. I think it's better to be able to handle things you're considering buying, and be able to look at them in person. It's the same reason I like being able to go to a doll show,as opposed to buying online all the time.
 Today we're going to look at  another doll from that box of auction leftovers. I think she's kind of cute,but I can't keep everything. So she was relegated to the reject box. They're are actually two of them. They're Red Riding Hood.

The outfit includes a red and white gingham dress with built in apron,a red hooded cape,and white undies. There were originally shoes too,but mine are gone.

She was made by New Bright Industrial Company in 1991. The symbol is an Aladdin's lamp inside a triangle.

Red Riding Hood was part of a series of  7 and a half inch dolls called the New Bright Collection Bookcase Collectable Dolls.

She has sleep eyes and rooted blonde hair.

There were 12 dolls in the series including  Red Riding Hood, Little Bo Peep, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, Cinderella,and dolls representing various countries. Sort of a mixed bag.

This box for the Scottish doll shows all the dolls in the series.

  That's today's doll. We'll see you again tomorrow for more dolls.
