Doll-A-Day 2023 #87: Plastic Baby

   This little guy was rescued from the house recently. Or maybe this girl. In any case, it's today's doll.

  This doll is about 9 inches tall. The only markings I can find are on it's back, and say Made in Hong Kong.

  I would say this kid is from the 1950's or 60's. The body and limbs are hollow plastic, and the head is vinyl.

She has a bottle mouth, but no opening. Not a drink and wet baby.

  When the baby was brought here for cleaning up, it had a spot of something oily on it's face. I'm afraid when I tried to clean it off I removed a bit of it, but the rest I kind of smeared into a bigger spot! I couldn't get any more off. The kid now has a large birthmark.

  She had molded detail in her hair, blushed cheeks, and painted eyes, She's jointed at the neck, shoulders, and hips.

There might have been a dress over this slip originally, but when I got this baby, this is all it was wearing.

  There's no closure of any kind on it.

  I have some bottles and little things that probably go with this baby. If anybody want to adopt her, she's free but for the shipping. Just leave a comment with your contact information and address, so we can calculate shipping.

  See you tomorrow for another doll.

Another Free Doll Up For Grabs! And Another Virtual Doll Show

   I have another 'free but for the shipping' doll if someone wants her. She's been featured on the blog, and she's been on the sales page for a while. She was made by Eegee, and as far as I can tell, she's wearing her original dress and shoes.

Recently I came across her and somehow she has gotten her arm hole broken. She's old plastic, and somehow the plastic has shattered around one arm. Her arm went back on, and it's staying, helped by her dress. She could be repaired, but I'm not going to do it. There is a page that shows how to repair plastic dolls HERE. If anybody wants to take her on, she's free other than shipping costs.

  I put a few more dolls on the sales page too, so you might want to have a look and see if any of your favourite dolls from the blog have ended up there.

  Other than the sales page, if you're missing shopping for dolls, there's  the Holiday 2020 Showcase Event, a virtual Doll Show of sorts, being held November 27th through the 30th. You can find out the details HERE.

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.

Doll-A-Day 2019 #250: Eegee Doll

  Today's doll is this young lady.

Actually,she's not young. She's probably from the 60's or maybe early 70's. I don't know her name, so if anybody can identify her,I'd appreciate it.

She looks a bit shy.

She's an Eegee doll.

Does that say 1967?

This isn't her original dress. It's homemade,(not by me!).
 

She stands about 17 inches tall.

She has the standard articulation,at the neck,shoulders, and hips.

Like yesterday's doll,she has big brown eyes...
 

 ...and they're sleep eyes with 'real' lashes.

In fact,there's more of a similarity between them than just the eyes. They have almost the same head!

I mean almost exactly the same head.

 

The differences seem to be that today's doll doesn't have eyes that tilt up as much at the outside corners. Other than that the small differences are the eyebrows,lip colour,and yesterday's doll had blue eye shadow. The sculpt is so similar. So what is the connection between Eegee,(today's doll),and Uneeda,(yesterday's doll)?
  Like yesterday's doll,she is a leftover from an auction or something. In fact, they probably came together. They are like sisters. The taller one is obviously older and old enough to wear makeup.

 

  That's the doll for today. Tomorrow we'll see a doll who doesn't look like these two!

Doll-A-Day 2019 #249: Uneeda Doll

  Today's doll is this girl.

She's a Uneeda doll.

She was produced in 1967.

She measures 18 inches tall.

I don't know if you can see it, but she has quite a bit of blue eye shadow.

She's plastic with a vinyl head.
 

Something that's nice about her is that she has big dark brown eyes. Most dolls like this have blue eyes.

 She has sleep eyes with 'real' lashes.
 

 I think her dress is homemade,but I'm not sure.

 She has the typical articulation of dolls like this,and is jointed at the neck, shoulders, and hips.

She was a leftover from an auction lot,but she hasn't found a new home yet.

That's the doll for today.

 

 

  Tomorrow we'll look at a doll that could be her long lost sister..cousin? She looks a lot like her,but she's made by someone else.
