  When you were a child, did you have a favorite doll or dolls?

What was the first one you remember having?

Do you still have any of your dolls?

   My favorites were my Ginny dolls, Tiny Tears and Toni dolls.

I still have my Ginny dolls and their clothes and furniture and my Toni dolls.

I've collected more of the Ginny and Toni dolls as an adult.

The first dolls I remember were my Bonnie Braids and Little LuLu dolls that  were Christmas gifts when I was three years old.

The one whose string you pulled and she talked. Another whose hair you pulled and it grew. Barbie and Ken dolls galore. Loved dressing them.

Tiny Tears, Betsy Wetsy, Thumbelina, Chatty Cathy, and Midge.

My very first doll was from my uncle; a little rubber baby doll about 8" long with a single stripe of red hair on her head, wearing a white and red polka dotted jumpsuit.  I still have this doll and my Midge doll.

@AuntG  Did you have Chrissy or Velvet? Those were the dolls that my daughters had with the hair that grew. Barbies came out when I was 12, but my daughters had them. I made lots of Barbie

clothes for them.

I had a great many dolls of all kinds, but Barbie was my favorite. The clothes were beautiful then !

Barbie, I would sit for hours and dress her up.  I had a littel tray that had drinks on it.  I love barbie clothes.

Thumbelina and this doll which everyone said they didn't like cuz she was scary.

I recall having one doll that I actually liked.  I believe her name was 'Tressy', and she had hair that you could pull up out of her head, and I think there were magic markers to "dye" her hair different colors.

She also had miniature lipsticks to do her lips and miniature eye liners/shadows to do her eyes.  May have had some fingernail coloring things as well.  So long ago.....

She was about the same size as a Barbie and had an outfit.  This was probably mid-60's.

Other than her I've never liked any other dolls and find them kinda creepy now.  I think my Tressy doll went kaput when her hair fell out and I ran out of makeup for her.
