I had a Skipper doll. I bought her in Singapore in 1977.

She was about the height of a Barbie - but flat chested. Then you turned her arm and she grew boobs.

My little brother was FASCINATED with her !!

Dawn dolls

Speaking of Dawn dolls....about 2 years ago I was shopping at Goodwill and I noticed 2 old Barbie/doll cases (the ones that you carry dolls around in)..and they were real cheap (like a buck apiece)...so I bought them. Well...when I came home and opened them up...I found 2 Dawn Dolls with a ton of clothing for them! I was stoked! :)

on behalf of my daughter, I got her a Molly doll, from the Big Comfy Couch and it was cute, she loved it, but she grew up and passed it on to a younger cousin.

Blimey I'd forgotten all about Tippee Tumbles  ;D

I had Action Girl who was a sort of glamorous sporty alternative to the girly Barbie Doll,

also had Pippa and Marie dolls who were about 5-6" pocket sized dollies with long hair.

My mum used to make lovely clothers for them all to wear.

Anyone ever get the cut out dolls on the back pages of girls papers/comics and there was always a set of garments for them to wear. (Usually Bunty, Mandy or Twinkle) 

Ahhh happy days down nostalgia lane  ;D

Never had a Barbie! There was the Revlon doll, followed by the Little Miss Revlon Doll...my daughter still has the dress from the first...pink with red hearts on it....my best friend & I made an elaborate doll house with cardboard boxes for our tiny LMRD's....slightly bigger than the Barbie...

I also was given this doll....sort of Raggedy Ann style....that was as big as me with elastic straps on her feet so we could dance together...not funny...still dancing with myself.... 8)

:) My nana bought me a teddy that was like that,  I just used to love dancing around with him, seems weird now recalling being small enough to dance with a 2 foot long legged teddy :D
