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 #192: Baby Apricot and Baby Needs A Name Blow Kiss Dolls

  For those of you following the saga, I am feeling fine and will be finished with my antibiotics in a couple of days. On the 17th I have to go have my thyroid nodules biopsied again.
  Today's dolls are two I found again recently when I was digging around for interesting dolls to show you. They're not dolls I collect,but they were hanging around here. They're  from the Strawberry Shortcake line.

They're Baby Apricot...

...and Baby Needs A Name.

They're Blow Kiss dolls. The idea is that when their stomachs are squeezed they puff scented air out of their mouths.
 

That's supposed to be blowing a kiss I guess.

The dolls were made by Kenner in 1983. Like all Strawberry Shortcake products of the era they were licensed from American Greetings.

The pudgy babies are about 13 inches tall,with soft squashy stuffed bodies and curved baby legs.

There were six dolls in the series,including Strawberry Shortcake,Lemon Meringue, Angel Cake, Orange Blossom, and our two today.

These are their original outfits.
 

They should also both have bonnets,but Apricot is missing hers. Needs a Name's bonnet is still sewn to her head.

Apricot's outfit features a cute bunny on the chest.
 

And some soiling.

And Baby Needs a Name has a white strawberry on hers.

Apricot has two ponytails.

You can watch a commercial for the Blow Kiss dolls HERE.

  Those are the dolls for today. Tomorrow we'll see another one.

Recent 1/6 Scale Dolls and Goodies From Goodwill

  Having health problems recently means I haven't been out much. I have been very few places,and haven't even stopped at my favourite Goodwill most of the times I have happened to be near it. I have stopped a few times, especially lately,since I have been feeling better. I have made two hauls in the past week or so,and only just brought one in from the van that has been sitting in there ever since before  I started feeling so awful! So, to start with some of the latest 1/6 scale finds, here's what I was lucky enough to get the last couple of times I stopped at my favourite Goodwill.
  Any time you're lucky enough to find fully dressed dolls at Goodwill,especially with their shoes, it's a good day! These girls were waiting for me. 

The bigger girls were $1 each,and the Strawberry Shortcake Lemon Meringue was 50 cents.

Disney Descendants  Signature Evie Isle of the Lost doll,complete with her shoes.

Disney Descendants Signature  Mal Isle of the Lost doll. She's wearing her complete outfit too.

Ever After High Ashlynne Ella. 

 

This is the one from the set that came with the Hunter Huntsman doll I got at the flea market last fall. She was shoeless when I found her, but I found this one shoe floating around loose in the tub of dolls she was in, and put it on her, just because. It turned out to be hers! I didn't see the other one, but the tub was pretty full of dolls. Maybe it will turn up at some point. She does have a mark on her face I need to clean off, but it doesn't look like it will be a problem.

Ever After High Apple White. I have another one of these,which I showed you before,but this one is complete, including her bolero jacket,tights, and shoes.

This means I can use the other one to experiment with repainting a doll. Wednesday night Ken and I stopped at the same Goodwill on our way to Valentine's day dinner, and Ken spotted this for me!

It's Apple White's bed!
 

Plus it had some stuff in the drawer.

There was the little mirror that attaches to the bed in the drawer too.

I also got another Ever After High doll, Raven Queen.

This one is Getting Fairest. I'm amazed she still had her shoes,considering they are mules, and have no rubber bands on them.
  This little Strawberry Shortcake friend,Lemon Meringue even has her hair do dad.

And I got yet another Tinkerbell! And she's different from any of my others! How many millions of these things have they made?!

This Chelsea friend is technically dressed, but her clothes are painted on. She even has her shoes though.

Speaking of shoes,remember I got a few Project MC2 dolls,but they had no shoes? Well somebody I brought home from Goodwill the other day ended up wearing these MC2 shoes...

I dropped one bringing the stuff to where I was photographing it,but I did get two.

 I did get a few naked dolls too, that were too pretty to pass up. This Mulan is one.

This Mystery Squad Drew. (I already have one, so she won't be staying.) She needs some stuff removed from her face.

This tall Fashionista. I don't like the dress she comes in anyway. I do have to find her something to wear now though.

This especially pretty Disney Store Belle.

This Elsa. Which one is she?

This Barbie Swan Lake Fairy Queen doll with the Teresa head sculpt.

 

I have a couple, but this one still had her headband. When I got home I noticed part of it is broken off!
This Liv doll.

The jointy body is always handy.
I did pass up a Happy Family era Midge that was especially pretty,because I think I already have that one,and she had a chewed hand. Afterward I thought that I could have rebodied her and tried customizing her. Oh well...

When we were there Wednesday evening I found this Disney Store singing Coronation Anna.

She's pretty, but her song is really annoying.

I buy most Anna,Merida, and,to a lesser extent, most Tangled Rapunzel dolls I see. I wish Anna had had her clothes, but maybe I'll find them some day too.
I also found some really cool 1/6 scale accessories. For one thing, I saw this Barbie Smasheroo jacket laying on the shelf on the other side of the doll aisle!

It's the real vintage one, not the repro! I love this outfit. I have the repro doll and outfit, but the vintage one is so plush. This one has a small brown spot on the left shoulder, but I think I can probably clean that off. Other than that it's minty!
  I got this owl picture frame,this electronic violin,and this Pirates of the Caribbean chest too.

I'm pretty sure this is just like the electronic violin I got for Emma when she was a kid. Emma plays the violin,and I bought it for her Emma the Doll.

It runs on batteries,and plays when the bow touches the strings.

 I also got these three Melissa and Doug mini crates. They are slightly big for 1/6 scale, because they are about 6" wide,but still could be useful.

The top one has a board missing, but I'm thinking I will probably make something 1/6 scale out of them anyway. I'm not sure what yet, but I'm thinking. I could always fix the one with a popsicle stick too.
  Way back when I was feeling really bad I was out to go to the doctor one day and felt the need to actually do something, since it had been so long since I had. One of the things we did was stop at Salvation Army. I found this mini plant pot and this wooden shelf.

The plant pot is definitely  1/6 scale, but the shelf could be 1/6 or 1/12. As a bonus,I already have one that matches it!
  Those are my 1/6 scale goodies. Next time we'll look at some larger dolls I also got.
