Subject: Trying to remember this 80s toy
Written By: violet_shy on 07/07/21 at 7:19 pm
Does anyone remember an inflatable toy from the 80s. It was red, and it had a painted face. It was not plush, it was inflatable you had to put air in it. I don't know if they came in colors, but mine was red in colour. I have various photos of myself holding this toy/inflatable doll. Will try to post them if I can. The photos are from 1982 or 83.
What were they called? Does anyone remember?

Well… the only inflatable plastic dolls with a painted face I can think of are toys that ain’t for kids. ;D
But seriously, the only thing I could find on google images from that era was kool aid man in 1982. And you’d probably have remembered that.

That’s what immediately sprang to my mind, although the toy Jessica is describing sounds smaller as she mentions holding it.
Not an easy thing to Google

Ooh thank you, Karen! It was like those inflatable bunnies minus the ears and a lot smaller. It had the same bunny face painted on though! Lol. Very close.

Sold in a scam?
Could the ears be hidden under a hat?

Paddington Bear keeps his ears under a hat.

Rabbits have ears,
And bears have ears,
It's fact, and that is that.
In order to listen,
But there's something missing,
Perhaps hidden under the hat.

With ears. Just not bunny ears. :)

We had an inflatable Santa Claus and reindeer as kids - same thing as those bunnies. They were fun.
