70s Dolls Names Help

I had an Action Girl she was great with bendy arms & knees a bit like Action Man.

Most had red hair but mine had black & they all wore a cat suit in pink or yellow & fab little boots!

Aw i miss her :'(
 
We also had little poseable baby dolls no more than 6 inches tall ... anyone know what they were?

Annie





I think they were the Kewpie (or cupie) dolls, they were really cute with big eyes and a lastic molded tuft of hair !

I love this thread.....so many memories, did anyone have a 'walkie talkie' doll ? they were tall, had a string pull in their back for saying a few phrases and you could walk them.................

do you remember that SMELL of dolls vinyl faces.....Christmas heaven !!!!!
 
One of my earliest xmas childhood memories involved a doll....Id asked for Tiny tears ...it was the Christmas I also asked for a bike..so mam and dad had my sister too and must have been strapped for cash that year.. :(

I got a lovely letter off Santa apologising for not having been able to get the doll that Christmas..I carried it round in my bike bag for years.. :lol:

I did get Tiny Tears eventually too... :huggles:

(JulieD ...were those little dolls Cupcakes by any chance)

when I was little I'd've given anything for a twin Silver Cross carriage pram !

didn't get one and even as a grown up, prayed I'd have twins so I could still get one :- " :D

so when I had a daughter I was delighted, now I could finally go out and buy her a twin silver cross, didn't care how much it was........she was never a dolly type of child :( bought her a modern soft bodied convertable silver cross dolls pram and she played with it once or twice, good job I didn't waste £3/400 on the carriage pram wasn't it ? :lol:
 
I had the silver cross single pram ...but not the twin one..Ive just put a photo on facebook strangely.. :lol: Ill find it Julie.

here it is Julie (can you just see the little black doll too) :lol:

omg I am so jealous !

my friend had a similar pram and it had flat boards in the bottom that hid a secret store place, did yours ?
 
I hated dolls!! I had the pram ( full of Teddies) and the horrible walkie talkie doll. I was horrid to her! She used to say "Please carry me" and i'd say no way, you can walk, I shall carry Teddy! Tressy.............her hair grows............. Had one of those, she used to be OK as she sat on my horses. Sindy, tiny tears YUCK!! I had a black doll too.

Also, I had those small dolls that you could collect, they can in different styles, nurse, cowboy etc. Do you remember the trolls with coloured hair, those I did like.
 
I was given a doll & very nice pram one Christmas. The doll said "mama" when you tipped it upside down. I had it for about a day before I took the back off to find out how it worked. And then it didn't work anymore :oops:

The pram was great tho....perfect for pushing our little dog Rusty about in. He loved being in there & we all took it in turns to push him up & down the street :wub:

I wasn't really a doll type of child. I did have some of those trolls with coloured hair tho, they were good.

I was given a nurse outfit one time & promptly swapped it for something else(can't remember what) but my mum made me swap it back again but I never played with it...much too girly.

So did I!! It was my favourite toy of all time, mine had red hair and a pink cat suit. I then got a Sindy horse which she could ride and I remember making little haynets for the horse out of the little string bags that carrots used to come in.
