Doll-A-Day 2023 #357: I.Q.

I posted two other Honeyhill Bunch dolls today. This is the third and last for the day. She's I.Q..



IQ is one of my favourites in the series, and I didn't even remember that I have her! I found her at the house recently.


She's one of the smaller Honeyhill Bunch dolls, at 4 inches tall.


She has her vest, but is missing her accessory, a book. The book was made of nylon cloth, and actually could be opened and had (unprinted) cloth pages. Her slogan on her box was "I always get straight A's in school."


She also still has her sunglasses, on top of her head.


I think they're the same sunglasses Mattel used for the P.J. dolls, part of the Barbie line.


  I have read at least one thing that suggested I.Q. is a boy. Because she's smart and carries a book? The Honeyhill Bunch paper dolls show the boys wearing bottom clothing only, while the girls, including I.Q. wear one piece clothing with a top. The clothes provided for I.Q. have been described as  being more boyish, but really, denim pantsuits were totally worn by girls in the 70's. The other clothes included a pair of mint green footie pajamas, a sailor suit, with hat, and polka dot shirt, and a green suit, with shorts and knee socks. So you decide.
 
  I.Q. seems to have been part of the first wave of Honeyhill Bunch dolls.



    That's #358! We're getting there! Check out today's other posts for more Honeyhill Bunch dolls.

Doll-A-Day 2023 #356: Li'l Kid

  Today's doll is Li'l Kid.


Li'l Kid is a member of the Honeyhill Bunch.


  The Honeyhill Bunch was a series of dolls made by Mattel from 1976 to 1978. 


  As you can see in the pictures above, Li'l Kid originally came with a green sleeveless top, and a dog, named 'Good'. I do have Good. When I got the doll named Hayseed, she had Good with her. You can see them both in my post HERE. Li'l Kid's slogan, from the box, was "Me 'n Good Dog wanta play too!"

 Is Li'l Kid a boy or a girl? What do you think? The Honeyhill Bunch paper dolls show the girls in one piece outfits that include a top, and the boys, which include Spunky and Solo, are shown in shorts/swim trunks only. Li'l Kid is shown with no top, but wearing Mary Jane shoes, and the outfits for Li'l Kid include yellow pajamas, one outfit that looks baby boyish, (in fact, similar to Tiny Chatty Brother's clothes), one outfit with pink pants and a pink and white polka dot top and pink and white striped beanie cap, and one indistinct sailor suit. Boy or infant girl?

  The Honeyhill kids, which were between 4 and 6 inches tall, all had soft, stuffed bodies, and vinyl heads. 


  They have Velcro on one hand so they can hold their accessory.


  They all have cute little faces that remind me of the Baby Beans dolls.


  Her tag is huge on such a small doll.



  That's one of today's dolls. Check out today's 2 other posts for more Honeyhill Bunch.
